OpenQuant appears to be a stagnant academic repository with virtually no community adoption (3 stars and 5 forks over 7+ years). While the domain—simulating open quantum systems—is mathematically complex and requires deep domain expertise, the project lacks the software engineering maturity, documentation, and active maintenance required to be a viable tool. It is likely a code drop associated with a specific research paper or thesis. In the landscape of quantum simulation, it is entirely overshadowed by QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python), which has thousands of stars and a massive ecosystem of contributors. Frontier labs are unlikely to compete here as the market is too niche (theoretical physics research vs. quantum computing hardware), but the project faces a high risk of total obsolescence as more modern, GPU-accelerated frameworks like Qibo or JAX-based quantum libraries become the standard for 'deeply optimized' simulations.
