v0.38.0
Changelog
Version 0.38.0
Highlights
🚀 As of this release, thanks to @natestemen, we are officially supporting Python 3.12 and dropping Python 3.9.
🌉 As part of UnitaryHack 2024, new contributor @NnguyenHTommy fixed a Qiskit to Cirq gate conversion error by implementing a fallback mechanism to decompose and transpile the Qiskit circuit into native Cirq gates.
🌀 Another Unitary Hacker, @EmilianoG-byte added functionality to simulate noise specifically on CNOT and CZ gates when using the Pauli Twilring technique to symmetrize errors.
🔉 As hinted in last release's spoilers, @purva-thakre has implemented the noise scaling functionality required for the Layerwise Richardson Extrapolation (LRE) technique, which allows a more fine-grained control over the amount of noise in circuits compared to the standard unitary folding method.
