IIRC Dave's original intent in calling the org "quantumlib" rather than "googlequantumailib" was to downplay this association. To force it to stand on its own. Having the readme open with the association kinda defeats that intent. I guess maybe it's unavoidable or maybe priorities have changed.

That's a fair point. I tried to reduce putting "Google" everywhere but evidently missed it on the very first line. Changed in the next push.

@Strilanc Went further and removed the title, because this page will appear under github.com/quantumlib and that page already has "quantumlib" across the top. Please let me know what you think.

And also changed the subtitle under the org name from "Google's …" to "Quantum AI's …"

This information is inevitably going to do out of date. It might be better to talk about themes rather than specific details. Or call out 2 highlights rather than trying to make an exhaustive list.

Part of the problem I'm trying to solve with this is that some of the projects like TFQ and TNCO are not under github.com/quantumlib, and I haven't found any other suitable, more-or-less central place to put a list.

I realize this will need to be updated over time, but thankfully, the rate at which we create new repositories has been pretty slow.

Separately, this could list themes too. @Strilanc Do you have suggestions for themes to highlight or focus on?

Summary of changes:

* Removed "Google" from the title, to make it less in-your-face
* Refactored the first couple of paragraphs of text
* Added TNCO
This page shows up under github.com/quantumlib, which already has the
logo anyway.
Apparently I don't know my alphabet ...
