v0.22.0

Changelog

Summary

In this release we focused on improving our documentation with three new examples, new REM docs, and navigation improvements, along with some bug fixes. This release also adds a new module calibration which allows one to run a series of experiments to see what error mitigation parameters will work best for their particular setup. This feature is still under active development.

Many thanks to @amirebrahimi for his continued work on making readout error mitigation available, and usable in Mitiq.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to Mitiq this year! It's been a great time for error mitigation, and we look forward to continuing to grow Mitiq in the new year! Happy holidays! 🎄🎉🎊

Summary

This release officially adds support for the learning-based PEC sub-technique which is now fully documented and ready to be applied by Mitiq users. We are still assessing the stability of this new sub-technique, so if you notice any bugs, please let us know by opening issues on GitHub.

Functions to apply Readout Error Mitigation (REM) are also introduced in this release, special thanks to Amir Ebrahimi for this contribution!

Also, the noise scaling by identity insertion method is included in the ZNE section of the user guide. Special thanks to Purva Thakre for this contribution!

During the release cycle we accepted the RFC for implementation of calibration tools (Solution 1). We also completed a prototype of this approach, which will be released in a future version of Mitiq.

In addition, this release adds support for qubit-independent representations for PEC, along with bug fixes and minor dependency upgrades.

v0.20.0

Summary

This milestone focused on updating our support for numpy (1.23), adding a tutorial demonstrating the learning-based PEC workflow, and scoping out what device/noise calibration might look like as part of Mitiq. Additionally identity insertion has been added as a noise-scaling technique available for mitigation protocols such as zero-noise extrapolation. Expect more documentation of this feature in future releases. Big thanks to @purva-thakre for getting this in Mitiq!

There are also some minor bug fixes, documentation updates, and a new example contributed by @nickdgardner as well!

Version 0.16.0 (June 3rd, 2022)

Summary

This release officially adds support for the digital dynamical decoupling (DDD) technique which is now fully documented and so ready to be applied by Mitiq users. This is still very new technique and so, if you notice any bugs, please let us know by

A further notable addition is the function generate_quantum_volume_circuit() by @nickdgardner, extending the Mitiq benchmarking module with quantum volume
circuits.

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.
