I didn't compare with the harness (focused on distillation) but the original ToT paper has a section on it: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.10601

Ah, I meant that MCTS uses more inference-time compute (over GRPO) to produce a training sample

Btw the whole motivation for this were algorithms like Grover's, which need "oracles" to be specified. You can only imagine trying to code adders and greater-than circuits with QASM...

A HL Programming Language for Quantum Computers

Hi, I've designed and implemented a higher-level programming language for quantum computers. It essentially makes creating classical oracles for use in quantum circuits much easier, by defining C-style arithmetic/logical operations on qregs and having a compiler pass to estimate qubit counts prior to compilation, which, btw compiles to QASM for use on IBM systems. Does this seem interesting to...
