"""
Polarized neutron reflectometry of a 4x Fe/Ni bilayer on Au substrate
with TanhTransient interface roughness, in Q-space.

Four-channel (PP, PM, MP, MM) Q-scan. The Fe magnetization is rotated
38 deg from the Y axis, enabling spin-flip scattering (PM, MP non-zero).
See PolarizedFeNiBilayerTanhQ.py for the two-channel variant
(0 deg tilt, PM=MP=0).

Results must agree with PolarizedFeNiBilayerSpinFlipTanh.py (angle-scan).
