Abstract
Catalyst is a software package for capturing Python-based hybrid quantum programs (that is, programs that contain both quantum and classical instructions), and just-in-time (JIT) compiling them down to an MLIR and LLVM representation and generating binary code.As a result, Catalyst enables the ability to rapidly prototype quantum algorithms in Python alongside efficient compilation, optimization, and execution of the program on classical and quantum accelerators.In addition, Catalyst allows for advanced quantum programming features essential for fault-tolerant hardware support and advanced algorithm design, such as mid-circuit measurement with arbitrary post-processing, support for classical control flow in and around quantum algorithms, built-in measurement statistics, and hardware-compatible automatic differentiation (AD).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
