Hi @evanhockings, we will use this issue to assign an editor and find reviewers; any suggestions for the latter would be welcome (but please do not invite/tag them directly yourself).

Unfortunately, our editors in this area already have full assignment loads, so I have to place this in our backlog until someone becomes available.

[kyleniemeyer]

@editorialbot invite @phibeck as editor

Hi @phibeck, does this fall in your wheelhouse to edit?

[editorialbot]

Invitation to edit this submission sent!

[phibeck]

Hi @kyleniemeyer yes, I can edit this one

[phibeck]

@editorialbot assign @phibeck as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @phibeck is now the editor

[phibeck]

Hi @evanhockings, thanks for your submission. I'll be looking for reviewers next. If you have a moment it would be helpful if you could identify a few potential reviewers from this list https://reviewers.joss.theoj.org/reviewers (without tagging them with an @), thanks.

[evanhockings]

Hi @phibeck! I checked the list, filtering for Julia and quantum computing-adjacent people, and ended up with the following shortlist:

• Hugo Strand
• Peter-Jan Derks
• Utkarsh
• Zhen Huang
• Jinguo Liu
• Aleksandr Berezutskii

[EDIT] Oh, and I was also wondering—I'm going to be making substantial improvements to the package, including a bunch of feature additions, in the relatively near term. This work is associated with some ongoing research so I don't want to make it public until the paper on that is out. Would I be able to update this paper to describe major additions after it's published (pending appropriate review) or is that not something you support?
