Release v0.15.0

Changelog

Version 0.15.0 (April 29th, 2022)

Summary

This milestone focused on updating dependencies and making progress on two new features, dynamical decoupling and learning based PEC. For dynamical decoupling, high-level functions and rules were added. For learning-based PEC, a function calculating representations with a biased (combination of depolarizing and dephasing) noise model was added. Several high priority bugs and issues were also fixed.

Special thanks to new contributors @RubidgeCarrie and @nickdgardner for their contributions to this release!
