# nvsim
|
||
|
||
Deterministic Rust simulator for NV-diamond ensemble magnetometer pipelines.
|
||
|
||
`nvsim` models a forward-only magnetic sensing path:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
scene
|
||
→ magnetic source synthesis
|
||
→ material attenuation
|
||
→ NV-ensemble response
|
||
→ digitisation
|
||
→ binary magnetic feature frames
|
||
→ deterministic SHA-256 witness
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It is designed for ferrous-anomaly modeling, eddy-current sanity checks,
|
||
synthetic magnetic traces, sensor education, and regression testing.
|
||
|
||
It is **not** a hardware-control stack, microscope simulator, full Hamiltonian
|
||
solver, or claim of fT-level sensitivity. This crate does not control lasers,
|
||
microwave sources, ADC hardware, or real NV sensors.
|
||
|
||
Deterministic in the strong sense: a simulator with explicit physics
|
||
approximations, conjectural propagation defaults that are documented as
|
||
such, a linear NV-ensemble readout proxy validated by Barry et al.
|
||
*Rev. Mod. Phys.* 92, 015004 (2020) §III.A, and **no hidden mocks**.
|
||
|
||
## Quick start
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use nvsim::scene::{Scene, DipoleSource};
|
||
use nvsim::frame::{MagFrame, MAG_FRAME_MAGIC};
|
||
|
||
let mut scene = Scene::new();
|
||
scene.add_dipole(DipoleSource::new([0.0, 0.0, 0.5], [0.0, 0.0, 1e-6]));
|
||
scene.add_sensor([0.0, 0.0, 0.0]);
|
||
|
||
// Pass 2+ adds source synthesis, propagation, sensor, digitiser, pipeline.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Acceptance commitments (per implementation plan §5)
|
||
|
||
- **Pipeline throughput**: ≥ 1 kHz simulated samples per second of wall-clock on a Cortex-A53-class CPU.
|
||
- **Determinism**: same `(scene, seed)` produces byte-identical proof-bundle output across runs and machines.
|
||
- **Noise floor reproduction**: simulator with shot-noise OFF reproduces the analytical Biot–Savart result to ≤ 0.1% RMS.
|
||
- **Lockin SNR floor**: 1 nT @ 1 kHz vs 100 pT/√Hz floor → SNR ≥ 10 in 1 s.
|
||
|
||
Pass 1 (this build) ships only the scaffold + scene types + binary frame
|
||
shape; the four acceptance numbers come online over Passes 2–6 per the plan.
|
||

and `15-nvsim-implementation-plan.md` for the build spec.
|

|
||
## Optional integrations
|
||
|
||
`nvsim` is a standalone leaf crate. RuView ecosystem integrations
|
||
(`wifi-densepose-core` frame alignment, `ruvector-core` trace compression,
|
||
etc.) land behind feature flags in follow-up passes once the core simulator
|
||
ships. None are required to use this crate.
