Quantum Physics Expert System

This project is an expert system designed to help users explore and understand concepts in quantum computing and physics. It uses Experta for the inference engine and uses forward chaining search algorithms, making it adaptable to both general and targeted queries. The system displays conflict sets and resolution steps to help users gain insight into the reasoning process.

Features

• Interactive User Interface: Built with Tkinter to enable easy interaction.
• Conflict Set and Resolution Display: Visualize the conflict set and selected rules for each query.
• Knowledge Base: Stores rules on quantum computing and physics, with the flexibility to expand for more complex concepts.

Project Structure

project_root/
├── knowledge_base.py      # Knowledge base file defining rules about quantum computing and physics
├── main.py        # Main code file containing the inference engine and UI setup
├── README.md               # Project documentation

Requirements

• Python 3.9
• Experta: Install using pip install experta
• Tkinter: Comes pre-installed with most Python distributions.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SandeepaDilshanAlagiyawanna/Quantum-Concept-Clarifier.git
   cd Quantum-Concept-Clarifier
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install tk
   pip install experta
   

3. Run the program:

   python main.py

Usage

1. Launch the program by running main.py.
2. Enter a Query: Type in a question about quantum computing or physics (e.g., "quantum_superposition").
3. Choose the Level: Select between Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced(leters dont need to be correct ;-]).
4. View Results:
   • See the system’s inference results and conflict set.
   • Observe how the conflict resolution strategy works to select rules.

Adding Rules to the Knowledge Base

To expand the system, you can add more rules to knowledge_base.py. Follow the syntax of existing rules for consistency. Pyke will process these additional rules when you run the program.

Example Queries

• Forward Chaining: quantum_superposition - Explores knowledge related to quantum uncertainty.

Future Improvements

• Enhance the knowledge base with more complex rules and relationships.
• Implement additional conflict resolution strategies.
• Integrate user-defined priority levels for more customized conflict handling.
