.

Improvements¶
Improve the documentation.
Workflows for releases and automatically building the documentation, migrated from
qutip
. (#49, #78)The part of tex code taken from circuit is removed due to licence issue. Instead, the latex code now requires the user to install qcircuit in advance. (#61)
Rename
Noise.get_noisy_dynamics
withNoise.get_noisy_pulses
. The new name is more appropriate because it returns a list ofPulse
, not aQobjEvo
. The old API is deprecated. (#76)Add more thorough documentation for installing external dependencies for circuit plotting. (#65)
Bug Fixes¶
Add the missing drift Hamiltonian to the method
Processor.run_analytically
. It was missing because only the control part of the Hamiltonian is added. (#74)Fix a few bugs in
QubitCircuit
: Make QubitCircuit.propagators_no_expand private. It will be removed and replaced byQubitCircuit.propagators
. The attributesQubitCircuit.U_list
is also removed. (#66)
Version 0.1.0 (May 14, 2021)¶
This is the first release of qutip-qip, the Quantum Information Processing package in QuTiP.
The qutip-qip package used to be a module qutip.qip
under QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python). From QuTiP 5.0, the community has decided to decrease the size of the core QuTiP package by reducing the external dependencies, in order to simplify maintenance. Hence a few modules are separated from the core QuTiP and will become QuTiP family packages. They are still maintained by the QuTiP team but hosted under different repositories in the QuTiP organization.
The qutip-qip package, QuTiP quantum information processing, aims at providing basic tools for quantum computing simulation both for simple quantum algorithm design and for experimental realization. Compared to other libraries for quantum information processing, qutip-qip puts additional emphasis on the physics layer and the interaction with the QuTiP package. The package offers two different approaches for simulating quantum circuits, one with QubitCircuit
calculating unitary evolution under quantum gates by matrix product, another called Processor
using open system solvers in QuTiP to simulate the execution of quantum circuits on a noisy quantum device.
