Changelog

Version 0.30.0

Released October 13, 2023

Summary

This release contains several documentation improvements and some new additions.
The classical shadows documentation has been improved (including a tutorial!) by @Min-Li. The Pauli Twirling method is added to the user guide (thanks @Aaron-Robertson and @purva-thakre). There is a new tutorial applying both zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE) and Clifford Data Regression (CDR) to quantum simulation, for the 1D Ising chain, in Cirq, by @farzadkianvash, a new contributor! The documentation has been further improved and unified by @Misty-W and @natestemen.

In terms of additions, a new type of benchmark quantum circuits, "rotated" randomized benchmarking (RB) quantum circuits have been added by @Misty-W, for more general benchmarks.
