Release v0.14.0

Main changes

• Creation of backends as a uniform interface for sequence execution
• Addition of extra configuration parameters to the device and channel classes
• Reduction of the overhead when adding measurement errors to emulation results
• Adding a new realistic device for analog quantum computation: AnalogDevice

Deprecations

• The Simulation class is now deprecated in favour of using QutipEmulator.from_sequence()
• PasqalCloud: get_batch() and create_batch() have been deprecated since they are no longer needed with the new backend interfaces.

Documentation

• New comprehensive tutorial on the backends interface

Release v0.11.1

Bug fixes

• Temporarily blocks serialization of sequences combining MappableRegister and local operations (target, phase_shift) because the serialization of these operations requires an indexing of the qubit IDs that is incompatible with the current MappableRegister implementation (to be changed in a future release)
• Blocks use of SLM mask with mappable registers (the SLM mask must be static like the layout)
• Fixes bug in Sequence.switch_device() that prevented it to work with mappable registers
• Improves type hints for device types
• Restricts pasqal-sdk version to avoid breaking changes

Changelog

43ce7f8 [HOTFIX] Restrict MappableRegister use + Type hint improvements (#499)
