Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.


[ 2.1.0 ] - [ 2021-04-xx ]

Added

  • Python bindings with MPI
  • new gate specialization for OpenMP performance improvement
  • distributed implementation of SWAP-type gates
  • class Permutation and method PermuteQubits to manipulate the representation of quantum states and possibly reduce the overhead from MPI communication
  • class ChiMatrix to represent quantum channels and method ApplyChannel to simulate 1- and 2-qubit channels
  • extra examples and tutorials
  • ReadTheDocs for easy-to-navigate documentation

Changed

  • CMake build is now modular
  • the library is part of namespace iqs

Removed

Fixed

  • when compiling with GCC, the option -O3 is used for performance improvement
  • a few minor bugs
  • update examples to current syntax

[ 2.0.0 ] - [ 2019-12-12 ]

Added

  • pool of state functionality: parallel execution of multiple circuits
  • Python bindings based on PyBind11 (no MPI)
  • tutorials and a few new examples
  • methods to simulate with noise and decoherence within QubitRegister class
  • benchmarks to reproduce weak and strong scaling of 1-qubit gate runtime
  • methods specialized for emulation of QAOA circuits

Changed

  • building process based on CMake instead of Make
  • main class name changed from QbitRegister to QubitRegister
  • MPI environment extended to support the "pool of state" functionality
  • examples updated to new syntax and methods

Removed

Fixed

Hosted by the (now deprecated) repository https://github.com/intel/Intel-QS.

Added

  • implementation of customized MPI environment
  • implementation of QbitRegister class for simulation of quantum circuits
  • methods to simulate 1-qubit gates and controlled-1-qubit gates, state preparation and measurement
