MindQuantum 0.9.11 Release Notes

Major Feature and Improvements

Gates

[STABLE] Arbitrary axis rotation: New single-qubit gates for arbitrary axis rotation on the Bloch sphereRn。
[STABLE] matrix: The quantum gate supports retrieving its complete matrix representation by using the interface and specifying the parameter full=True. This matrix representation is influenced by the target qubit and the control qubit, if applicable.
[STABLE] Terminal relaxation channel: Add ThermalRelaxationChannel.
[Alpha] Quantum measurement: The measurement gate now supports qubit reset functionality, allowing the measured quantum state to be reset to the |0⟩ state or the |1⟩ state. The execution speed of the measurement gate has been optimized for improved performance.
[STABLE] RotPauliString: Add arbitrary pauli string rotation gate.
[STABLE] GroupedPauli: Add Pauli combination gate. This gate allows for faster execution compared to individually applying single Pauli gates.
[STABLE] GroupedPauliChannel: Add Pauli combination channel. This channel allows for faster execution compared to applying Pauli channels individually.
[STABLE] SX: Add sqrt X gate.
[STABLE] Givens: Add Givens rotation gate.

Circuit

[STABLE] summary: The summary information of the quantum circuit displayed through this interface will be presented in a table format, making it more visually appealing and straightforward.
[STABLE] svg: Scaling the svg of quantum circuit by setting scale of this API.
[STABLE] openqasm: Directly convert quantum circuit to openqasm or convert openqasm to a mindquantum circuit.

ParameterResolver

[STABLE] PRGenerator: new is able to set temporary prefix of suffix.

Ansatz

[STABLE] Hardware efficient ansatz: Add more hardware efficient ansatz, please refers to Physics-Constrained Hardware-Efficient Ansatz on Quantum Computers that is Universal, Systematically Improvable, and Size-consistent。

Device

[STABLE] QubitsTopology: Enable to set color of edge by set_edge_color. Enable to display the topology with show.

Simulator

[STABLE] sampling: Improve the sampling speed for quantum circuit without noise and all measurement only at end.

utils

[STABLE] Progress bar: Add two easily used progress bar based on rich, which are SingleLoopProgress and TwoLoopsProgress。
[Alpha] [random_insert_gates]: Enable to randomly insert quantum gate into a quantum circuit.

Algorithm
