upgrade:
|
|
- |
|
|
The ``qiskit-aer`` Python package has moved to be a self-contained
|
|
namespace, ``qiskit_aer``. Previously, it shared
|
|
a namespace with ``qiskit-terra`` by being ``qiskit.providers.aer``.
|
|
`This was problematic for several reasons <https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/issues/559>`__,
|
|
and this release moves away from it. For the time being ``import qiskit.providers.aer``
|
|
will continue to work and redirect to ``qiskit_aer`` automatically. Imports from the legacy
|
|
``qiskit.provider.aer`` namespace will emit a ``DeprecationWarning`` in the
|
|
future. To avoid any potential issues starting with this release,
|
|
updating all imports from ``qiskit.providers.aer`` to ``qiskit_aer`` and
|
|
from ``qiskit.Aer`` to ``qiskit_aer.Aer`` is recommended.
