Research direction

Start with halton.py and read the linked scipy.stats.qmc documentation to understand the available quasirandom sequence generator. Identify the existing Halton implementation and its expected behavior, then replace the duplicated code with the SciPy-based approach while preserving its use by the benchmark.
