VQE with SciPy Optimization - TFIM Example
======================================================================

This example demonstrates integration of TyxonQ with SciPy's optimization
framework for Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) problems.

Key Features:
- SciPy optimizer integration (COBYLA, L-BFGS-B)
- Gradient-free vs gradient-based optimization comparison
- Cotengra tensor network contraction optimization  
- Custom optimization loop with convergence monitoring
- Exact ground state verification

Physics:
-------
Transverse Field Ising Model (TFIM):
    H = -J Σ Z_i Z_{i+1} - h Σ X_i

This is a canonical model for quantum phase transitions.

Performance:
-----------
For 4 qubits, 2 layers:
- COBYLA (gradient-free): ~1s per step
- L-BFGS-B (gradient-based): ~0.5s per step (with auto-diff)
- Convergence: 20-30 iterations to <1% error
