+ minorminer is a heuristic tool for minor embedding: given a minor
+and target graph, it tries to find a mapping that embeds the minor
+into the target.
+ minorminer is a tool for finding graph minors, developed to embed
+Ising problems onto quantum annealers (QA). Where it can be used to
+find minors in arbitrary graphs, it is particularly geared towards
+the state of the art in QA: problem graphs of a few to a few hundred
+variables, and hardware graphs of a few thousand qubits.
