gwroblew/Quantum-Computing-Playground

Quantum-Computing-Playground is a legacy project (over 11 years old) that served as an early web-based simulator for quantum algorithms. While it has historical value and a respectable 111 stars, its velocity is zero, and it has been entirely superseded by modern, industry-standard frameworks. Specifically, IBM's Quantum Experience (Qiskit) and Google's Cirq provide vastly superior simulation capabilities, hardware integration, and ecosystem support. For visual, browser-based simulation, tools like 'Quirk' offer a more intuitive and responsive experience. The project lacks a technical moat, as the underlying simulation logic is standard linear algebra that has been implemented more efficiently in modern C++ and Rust-backed Python libraries. Platform domination risk is rated high because the major cloud providers (IBM, AWS, Google, Azure) already offer free, integrated, and far more powerful quantum playgrounds that connect to real hardware. This project is now a reference implementation or historical artifact rather than a viable competitor in the current quantum software stack.
