🚀 Usage Guide

🎲 Random Selection Using a Quantum Circuit

Generate a quantum circuit for 'N' participants:

import qrandom
res = qrandom.select(8)  # 8 represents the total number of participants.

🖼 Visualizing the Quantum Circuit

Save the pictorial representation of the quantum circuit:

import qrandom
qrandom.vis_circuit(8, "file_name.png")  # Saves the circuit diagram for 8 participants as file_name.png
