Circuit compilation and simulation plugins
High performance simulators
------------------------------------------
* `OpenFermion-FQE <https://github.com/quantumlib/OpenFermion-FQE>`__ is
a high performance emulator of fermionic quantum evolutions specified
by a sequence of fermion operators, which can exploit fermionic
symmetries such as spin and particle number. It is built as a
plugin because C++ backends for OpenFermion-FQE must be compiled.

I'd leave off the C++ part. 1) fqe will fall back on already faster than cirq python librarires 2) it is built on top of C-extensions.

so in that case is there a good reason why we don't merge into OpenFermion core?

in any event, I removed mention of that. I also decided to delete the link to the projects page since I don't feel like we've kept up with it at all and at this point it is not even close to a representative sample of the many projects using OpenFermion. What do you think?
