This is a term "invented" by Ciro Santilli to refer to quantum compilers that are able to convert non-specifically-quantum (functional, since there is no state in quantum software) programs into quantum circuit.
The term is made by adding "quantum" to the more "classical" concept of "high-level synthesis", which refers to software that converts an imperative program into register transfer level hardware, typicially for FPGA applications.
Used e.g. by Oxford Quantum Circuits, www.linkedin.com/in/john-dumbell-627454121/ mentions:
Using LLVM to consume QIR and run optimization, scheduling and then outputting hardware-specific instructions.
Presumably the point of it is to allow simulation in classical computers?
Even if we cannot do everything in functional, we should at least strive to clearly extract functional substes in what we do.

OK, now we're talking, two liner and you get a window showing bounding box object detection from your webcam feed!
python -m pip install -U yolov5==7.0.9
yolov5 detect --source 0
The accuracy is crap for anything but people. But still. Well done. Tested on Ubuntu 22.10, P51.

Fashion MNIST by Ciro Santilli 40 Updated 2025-07-16
Same style as MNIST: 28x28 grayscale images, but with clothes rather than hand written digits.
It was designed to be much harder than MNIST, and more representative of modern applications, while still retaining the low resolution of MNIST for simplicity of training.
