Polish Prep

Optimize a style parameter ansatz against animators's short-film festival prep goal and return tuning knobs that actually converge.

The hook.

full primer β†’

Filmmakers set a creative goal; a quantum optimizer tunes the short-film festival prep parameters until they converge, and returns the dialed-in knobs.

Why this primitiveVariational ansatz is the right primitive here because short-film festival prep reduces to a style optimization problem; the kernel returns a result you can drop straight into the UI.

Kernel
a VQE-style parameterized circuit optimized against a style cost Hamiltonian, returning the optimal parameter vector
Drives the UI as
a slider panel where each slider is one optimized parameter, plus a 'cost over iterations' chart
