       | from the readme: "but as quantum devices improve in size and
       | fidelity we will be able to learn a quantum classifier that hard
       | to simulate on a classical device." but "For running the code,
       | you will need Python 3.7 or later" - say what??
       | 
       | Further, you need a package lambeq. Which is from
       | cambridgequantum.com which redirects to
       | https://www.quantinuum.com/ which says
       | 
       | "A Unique Full-stack Quantum Computing Company / Our software and
       | applications function universally on any quantum hardware, and
       | our hardware is designed to run any quantum software"
       | 
       | methinks someone be having a larf.

       | edit: or maybe not, seems real despite weirdness
