QGSHAP Explainability Accelerator

A GNN over a molecular graph compares classical SHAP evaluation cost with a QGSHAP path that uses amplitude amplification.

Matching explanation quality is held fixed while the learner watches computational cost fall from exhaustive or sampled classical evaluation toward a quantum-assisted square-root sample regime.
