A new module :mod:`qiskit.algorithms` has been introduced. This module
contains functionality equivalent to what has previously been
provided by the :mod:`qiskit.aqua.algorithms` module (which is now
deprecated) and provides the building blocks for constructing quantum
algorithms. For details on migrating from ``qiskit-aqua`` to this new
module please refer to the migration guide "INSERT LINK HERE"

A new module :mod:`qiskit.opflow` has been introduced. This module
contains functionality equivalent to what has previously been
provided by the :mod:`qiskit.aqua.operators` module (which is now
deprecated) and provides the operators and state functions which are
used to build quantum algorithms. For details on migrating from
``qiskit-aqua`` to this new module please refer to the migration guide
