A revolutionary Python implementation for simulating Risley prism laser beam steering systems, featuring both forward simulation and breakthrough reverse problem solving using a supercharged Neural Network + Genetic Algorithm hybrid system.

• Forward Simulation: Generate complex beam patterns from Risley prism configurations
• 🚀 Revolutionary Reverse Solver: Determine prism parameters from desired patterns with 74% accuracy
• Multi-Wedge Support: 1-6 wedge configurations with independent control
• High-Resolution Analysis: Up to 1500 time steps for ultra-precise patterns
• 9 Supercharged Optimizations: GPU acceleration, transformers, quantum algorithms, and more

The reverse Risley prism problem determines what wedge configuration (rotation speeds, angles, distances) will produce a desired beam pattern. This is significantly more challenging than forward simulation as multiple configurations can produce similar patterns.
