Same style as MNIST, but with clothes. Designed to be much harder, and more representative of modern applications, while still retaining the low resolution of MNIST for simplicity of training.

OK, now we're talking, two liner and you get a window showing bounding box object detection from your webcam feed!The accuracy is crap for anything but people. But still. Well done. Tested on Ubuntu 22.10, P51.

Good because unnecessary state is the source of much evil.

Even if we cannot do everything in functional, we should at least strive to clearly extract functional substes in what we do.

Used e.g. by Oxford Quantum Circuits, www.linkedin.com/in/john-dumbell-627454121/ mentions:

Presumably the point of it is to allow simulation in classical computers?

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.

This is an important metric, because it takes some time for the quantum operations to propagate, and so the depth of a circuit gives you an idea of how long the coherence time a hardware needs to support a given circuit.
