\item[\ref{wp:frontend}] is focussed on translating from HLLs into
\azx, reflecting higher level programming constructs into \azx, and
building a test suite of programs.
\item[\ref{wp:backends}] is about modelling the properties of
different machines in \azx, and translating \azx to hardware.
\item[\ref{wp:theory}] develops the theory behind \azx and algorithms

creation of useful quantum software, specifically focusing on
optimisation and error correction.
