"""KODEX quantum backend layer — the honest "connect into a real quantum computer" hook.

Every KODEX quantum code builds its circuit ONCE and runs it through `get_device()`.
By default that is a LOCAL simulator (exact statevector, free, CPU, works today). The
SAME circuit runs on real hardware or a shot-based simulator by setting env vars — no
code change:

    KODEX_QC_BACKEND unset / "default"  -> default.qubit          exact statevector (free)
    KODEX_QC_BACKEND=aer                -> qiskit.aer             realistic shot noise (local)
    KODEX_QC_BACKEND=ibm                -> qiskit.remote          REAL IBM Quantum hardware
        also set KODEX_QC_TOKEN=<your IBM Quantum API token>
        optionally KODEX_QC_IBM_BACKEND=<backend name>  (default: least-busy)

HONEST FRAMING (carry it on every card): a genuine quantum *advantage* for fusion kernels
is ~8-10 years out (fault tolerance). What is real and runnable TODAY is the *tooling and
testing* — you can execute these fusion quantum programs on a simulator now, and on real
quantum hardware the moment you plug in an account, on one code path. That is what KODEX
offers: be first to test earnestly, honest about the timeline.
