Summary

Defines selection criteria for OSS QC projects, describes and evaluates selected projects in four categories:

• Quantum computing simulators
• Quantum compilers
• Quantum full-stack libraries
• Quantum annealing

Selection, evaluation, and recommended best practices described apply to any OSS projects; need greater because quantum is confusing.
