v0.4.2

Bugfix

• Restricts numpy version to be below 1.22.0 to avoid conflict with qutip.

v0.4.1

Bugfix:

• Including C6_coeffs.json data file in the PyPI distribution

v0.4.0

Relevant Changes

• Support for simulation of Sequences in the XY mode
• Possibility to set a constant magnetic field during a Sequence (useful in XY Mode)

• Addition of the Register3D class
• Possibility to choose/change the Rydberg level on the Device class
• New tutorials:
  • XY Spin Chain
  • SLM Mask Demo
  • Classical Shadow Estimation
  • XYZ Quantum Simulation

v0.3.2

Bug fix

• Fixed overwriting of global and local channel information on Simulation when noise is involved

v0.3.1

Bug fixes:

• Fixes incompatibility between initial state setting and state preparation errors

Additions:

• Tutorial on the Quantum Estimation Kernel

v0.3.0

Relevant Changes

• The Microwave channel was added, along with support to it's declaration in a Sequence under the special "XY Mode" (simulation support to be added in v0.4)
• New pre-defined configurations were added to the Register class, namely an "hexagon" and a "max_connectivity" configuration.
• Sequence drawing options were extended, notably to optionally write information of the phase and area on top of a waveform
• Two new waveform classes were added: InterpolatedWaveform and KaiserWaveform
• The pulser.simulation module was substantially refactored to include noise. With it, the classes SimConfig, NoisyResults and CoherentResults were added.

v0.2.1

Changes:

• Updated docstring on Simulation.run()

(This is just an excuse to make a new release, so as to generate a DOI with Zenodo.)

v0.2.0

New features:

• Parametrized sequences: Sequence now supports variable declaration, which can be used to create parametrized objects and sequences. Can be used to build multiple sequences from a single parametrized sequence by changing the values attributed to the variables.
• JSON serialization: Sequences can now be serialized to and deserialized from JSON-formatted strings.
• Hamiltonian generation: From a Simulation instance, it is now possible to get the Hamiltonian describing a Sequence at any given time t.
