A Python implementation of [k-Wave](http://www.k-wave.org/) — an acoustics toolbox for time-domain simulation of acoustic wave fields. Includes a pure NumPy/CuPy solver (`backend="python"`) and an interface to the pre-compiled k-Wave C++ binaries (`backend="cpp"`) with NVIDIA GPU support (sm 5.0–9.0a).

P1 The phrase "from Maxwell through Blackwell" implies coverage of the entire Blackwell generation, but Blackwell spans multiple distinct compute capabilities: sm 10.0 (B200/GB200), sm 10.3 (B300/GB300), sm 11.0 (Jetson T5000/T4000), sm 12.0 (GeForce RTX 50xx, RTX PRO 6000), and sm 12.1 (GB10 DGX Spark). Only sm 12.0 is added here, so datacenter Blackwell users (B200, GB200, GB300) would read "through Blackwell" and attempt to run on unsupported hardware. The parenthetical list is precise; the prose around it should match.
