## What it is
A curated, community-maintained list of open-source quantum software projects organized by category, including full-stack libraries, simulators, compilers, annealing tools, and cryptography. It serves as a discovery catalog rather than software itself, with links and short descriptions for each project.

## Use cases
- find open-source quantum computing SDKs
- discover quantum circuit simulators
- compare quantum compiler toolkits
- locate quantum annealing software
- find quantum machine learning libraries
- explore post-quantum cryptography tools
- find quantum software for quantum chemistry

## When to choose
- you want a broad overview of the open-source quantum software ecosystem
- you need to discover tools by category before evaluating them
- you want a regularly updated catalog maintained by the QOSF community

## When to avoid
- you need a working quantum library rather than a list of links
- you need tutorials or learning materials (see awesome-quantum-computing instead)
- you need detailed comparisons or benchmarks of the listed tools

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, simulation, compiler, machine-learning, cryptography
- domain: quantum-computing, awesome-lists, simulation
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: quantum-computing, awesome-list, curated-list, quantum-simulators, quantum-compilers, quantum-annealing, quantum-chemistry, open-source-catalog, algorithms, cryptography
