+"""Quantum Agentic AI: Autonomous quantum-enhanced intelligent systems.
+
+This module implements autonomous quantum agents that can independently make
+decisions, optimize complex problems, and adapt their behavior based on quantum
+advantages. These agents represent the next evolution of AI - systems that
+leverage quantum computing to achieve superhuman performance in specialized domains.
+
+Key Agent Types:
+- QuantumTradingAgent: Autonomous financial trading with quantum portfolio optimization
+- QuantumResearchAgent: Scientific discovery and hypothesis generation
+- QuantumOptimizationAgent: General combinatorial and continuous optimization
+- QuantumClassificationAgent: Automated ML with quantum-classical ensemble methods
+
+Each agent combines multiple quantum algorithms, classical AI techniques, and
+autonomous decision-making capabilities to solve complex real-world problems
+without human intervention.
