+abstract: >-
+  Rasqal is a quantum-classical hybrid runtime that leans on
+  dynamic execution of hybrid IRs to optimize and synthesize
+  the circuits it sends to the QPU while executing the
+  classical parts itself. This approach means all
+  non-quantum variables are known at runtime, including
+  results from embedded quantum executions. Such information
+  is then used to enhance classical execution paths and
+  optimize circuit synthesis.
