GiggleLiu/tutorial-tensornetwork

This project is categorized as an educational tutorial rather than a software product or library. With only 20 stars and minimal activity (0.0 velocity), it lacks the momentum or community support required for high defensibility. It competes primarily with official documentation and tutorials from major quantum players like Google (TensorNetwork library) and IBM (Qiskit). While the author is a recognized researcher in the field (Jin-Guo Liu), the repo serves as a pedagogical resource rather than a tool with a technical moat. Frontier labs like Google and OpenAI are unlikely to build this specifically, though they produce superior educational content as part of their developer relations. The displacement horizon is short because academic tutorials are frequently superseded by newer, more comprehensive educational materials or more optimized library features.
