qiskit-qulacs - v0.1.0

Changelog

Improvements 🛠

• The benchmarks now use pytest-benchmark inspired by benchmark-qulacs. The updated benchmarks can be found in the documentation.

• Updated circuit conversion method in adapter.

  • Restructured code taking inspiration from pennylane-qiskit.
  • Updated support for existing Qiskit's gates.
  • Added Rxx, Ryy and Rzz gates supporting gradient computation. ECR gate is also supported.
  • Added Qiskit's ParameterExpression support.

• QulacsBackend can now be used with the Qiskit's BackendEstimator and BackendSampler.

• QulacsEstimator now supports qulacs QuantumCircuitOptimizer.

• QulacsSampler inspired by Qiskit's Primitive Sampler is added. It uses qulacs for statevector calculation.

• Enhanced gradient computation using sympy to support Qiskit's ParameterExpression in circuit; not in qulacs.

• Added basic tutorials for QulacsBackend and primitives.

• Added support for Python 3.11.

• The GPU support is experimental and is yet to be tested.
