"""State-of-the-art Graph Neural Network (GNN) and Neural Belief Propagation Decoders.

This module implements highly optimized, parallelizable decoders for qLDPC codes
using PyTorch sparse operations. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Neural BP 
represent the bleeding edge of qLDPC decoding research (2024/2025).
