Quaternion intuition¶
Quaternions provide compact rotation representations and are part of the math foundation used throughout the RQM platform.
Core idea¶
A quaternion has one real and three imaginary components:
Unit quaternions (w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1) map directly to rotation behavior relevant to single-qubit geometry.
Why it matters here¶
RQM uses these primitives in rqm-core to support consistent geometry-aware analysis and optimization behavior.
