Changelog#

Version 17.7#

  • Added Garnet backend so that it can be used in simulations. #156

Version 17.6#

  • Fix unit tests compatibility with latest iqm-client. #157

Version 17.5#

  • Provider tolerates unrecognized job statuses from the server to ensure forward compatibility. #155

Version 17.4#

  • Bugfix: The delay operation is now accepted by the standard transpiler. #151

Version 17.3#

Version 17.2#

  • Bugfix in IQMOptimizeSingleQubitGates` where the angles are not properly computed for circuits with prx gates on qubits holding a resonator state, i.e. circuits that require running without move gate validation. #147

Version 17.1#

  • Small note about IQM Client’s API deprecation warning added to the user guide. #146

Version 17.0#

  • Removed support for Python 3.9.

  • Removed support for qiskit < 1.0.

  • Added support for qiskit == 1.2 and qiskit-aer == 0.15.

  • Updated the documentation.

  • IQMBackendBase.qubit_name_to_index() and IQMBackendBase.index_to_qubit_name() now raise an error when using an invalid qubit name or index, rather than returning None.

  • Refactored IQMBackend.create_run_request() to improve user experience when using IQM specific run options.

  • Moved the circuit serialization logic from IQMProvider to iqm.qiskit_iqm.qiskit_to_iqm.

  • For IQM Star quantum architectures, IQMBackendBase.target_with_resonators represents the full, physical architecture. IQMBackendBase.target represents a Qiskit-compatible version.

  • Using the Qiskit transpiler with IQMBackend:

    • You can now use the native Qiskit transpile() function to transpile a circuit to the IQM Star architecture as long as your initial circuit does not use any resonators.

    • The Qiskit transpiler now automatically uses the IQMOptimizeSingleQubitGates pass to optimize single-qubit gates if optimization_level > 0.

    • There are many new transpiler plugins available that you can use as the scheduling_method argument in Qiskit’s transpile() function. You can find them in the Qiskit documentation.

    • If your circuit contains resonators, and optionally MoveGate operations, you can use the transpile_to_IQM() function to transpile your circuit for the IQM Star architecture.

    • transpile_to_IQM() can now restrict itself to use a subset of the qubits by specifying the restrict_to_qubits argument. You will need to additionally provide a qubit mapping to the IQMBackend.run() method to ensure that the correct qubits are used.

  • Bugfix where the transpile_to_IQM() did not retain the circuit layout after transpiling.

  • Fixed IQMFakeDeneb() readout errors. Fidelities were reported as errors. #125

  • IQMBackend.target now contains symmetric gates such as CZ only in the direction they appear in the calibration set. #140
