The hook.

full primer β†’

Photographers set a creative goal; a quantum optimizer tunes the photojournalism archives parameters until they converge, and returns the dialed-in knobs.

Why this primitiveVariational ansatz is the right primitive here because photojournalism archives 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

Market sizing.

TAM
$24.0B
the photo software market (~$2.4B) and >15M pro photographers.
SAM
$5.0B
the 21% of that market actively buying photojournalism archives-adjacent software.
SOM
$353M
a realistic 7% capture of the serviceable slice in years 1–3 via the hackathon launch and creator-led distribution.
