i didn't mean to nitpick and it's not nitpicky since there are now open toolchains (though not for xilinx) that you support verilog as a frontend http://www.clifford.at/yosys/ http…

you don't need vivado to modify the hdl, you need vivado (or some other proprietary xilinx toolchain) to produce the bitstream which actually deploys to the fpga.

Without reading the paper, I think you have it a little backwards - the IR doesn't itself allow for more general functions. More general functions are possible (in theory) because …

you're trying to say because a decoder maps n -> 2^n that it's comparable to a QC. lol. my friend you clearly don't understand interference and entanglement. btw the circuits in qu…

sure but it doesn't hurt that you have infinite data too (i.e. the thing most other ML research is bound by). like you can't argue that it's not a very comfortable corner to be in …
