Thank you @vprusso and @purva-thakre.
I would be very interested in learning more of how one can use Toqito. Actually I believe this should be the first part to mention in the blog post, which could have two or three high level sections (and this is just a suggestion of course) such as:
-
- Why using Toqito and what Toqito does, with some details or even short code snippet. This section is useful to engage the reader and let them understand how they can use Toqito, if they ever need it.
-
- Project growth and community support by UF and other orgs. This tells Toqito's story and is informative and at the same time can be inspiring for other projects as a path to growth.
-
- Impact. Providing more references and information about how Toqito was used for research, especially, if present, with examples when a user was not directly Vincent, would be fantastic. This gives more weight to the impact and helps convey the reason why building common OSS tooling for quantum researchers is beneficial to advance faster.

| As toqito continued to gain usage and traction, another [UF microgrant](https://unitary.fund/grants/) to further develop the project was awarded to a prior contributor of UnitaryHACK 2023 ([Purva Thakre](https://github.com/purva-thakre)). These funds allowed dedicated time to delve into some of the more in-depth feature requests and continue to improve additional aspects of the project, such as thorough testing, documentation, CI/CD, and tutorials. | ||

| In addition to being cited and used in peer-reviewed research papers on quantum information (a complete list can be found [here](https://github.com/vprusso/toqito?tab=readme-ov-file#references)), toqito has also been recognized elsewhere. Toqito was voted one of the [top quantum simulators for 2024 by QuantumInsider](https://thequantuminsider.com/2022/06/14/top-63-quantum-computer-simulators-for-2022/). Recently, [KaiCode](https://www.kaicode.org/2024.html) awarded toqito the first place prize for being the best project of 400+ projects judged on clean code, good project structure, etc. Furthermore, as of September 2024, toqito is now an affiliated project of NumFOCUS. |

This could be expanded, see main comment.
@vprusso Mind if I take a crack at this suggestion? |
Definitely, have at it, @purva-thakre ! |

@vprusso @purva-thakre just let me know if you have a timeline for the blog post, so that we can loop in @francespoblete for socials. Looking forward to the last edits. |

Looks much better. Some final requests
- Please consider adding subtitles as mentioned. It helps guide the reader. You can use markdown
- Please explain better the scientific parts, as it helps engage the reader, even if briefly. For example: "Another UF microgrant was recently awarded to Aidan Sims to port cvxquad functions written in MATLAB into toqito’s channels/ module." What is cvx? (My attempt:"
cvxis a tool used to transform hard quantum information problems into convex optimization so that approximate solutions can be found as the problem is expressed with constraints"). Same applies for this sentence, that is quite obscure for someone outside of the niche "toqito was listed as a notable project containing DPS(Doherty-Parrilo-Spedalier) and NPA (Navascués-Pironio-Ací) hierarchies." What are these hierarchies? Briefly... - Please update the date
These are all quite excellent comments--thank you for taking the time to both write these up and also provide some good responses to what these could be. I've taken your suggestions and ran with them a bit. @purva-thakre can let me know if I've completely butchered the very nice contributions that she made, but I tried to include them and also incorporate the feedback from @nathanshammah . Happy to keep iterating on this as well as these comments are great and I think the end product will benefit greatly from both of your contributions, feedback, etc.! Thank you both again! |
