From 31f08c4b56631f98b84ab20309e2929bb2c077e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank Harkins Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2023 15:21:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Revise descriptions for our projects (#625) ### Summary This PR revises descriptions of projects maintained by IBMers. I don't believe we need maintainer signoff for these projects so I'm doing them all in one PR. *** Part of #623 --------- Co-authored-by: Rebecca Dimock <66339736+beckykd@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Abby Mitchell <23662430+javabster@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: abbycross --- ecosystem/resources/members/circuit-knitting-toolbox.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/mthree.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/openqasm.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/prototype-entanglement-forging.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/prototype-qrao.toml | 2 +- .../resources/members/prototype-quantum-kernel-training.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-aer.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-algorithms.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-bip-mapper.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-dynamics.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-experiments.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-finance.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-ibm-provider.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-ibm-runtime.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-machine-learning.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-metal.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-nature-pyscf.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-nature.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-optimization.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-qec.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-qubit-reuse.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-research.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/qiskit-toqm.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/quPython.toml | 2 +- ecosystem/resources/members/quantum-serverless.toml | 2 +- 25 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/ecosystem/resources/members/circuit-knitting-toolbox.toml b/ecosystem/resources/members/circuit-knitting-toolbox.toml index e0111c87ef..38995540d6 100644 --- a/ecosystem/resources/members/circuit-knitting-toolbox.toml +++ b/ecosystem/resources/members/circuit-knitting-toolbox.toml @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ name = "Circuit Knitting Toolbox" url = "https://github.com/Qiskit-Extensions/circuit-knitting-toolbox" -description = "Circuit Knitting is the process of decomposing a quantum circuit into smaller circuits, executing those smaller circuits on a quantum processor(s), and then knitting their results into a reconstruction of the original circuit's outcome.
