Cirq v0.11.0 release

Warning: Please make sure to uninstall all older (<0.11) versions of Cirq otherwise pip install cirq will result in an invalid installation where cirq is an empty namespace package. If you have older versions, run pip uninstall cirq before upgrading.

Highlights

Modular Cirq

We introduced a new structure, where cirq.google is now extracted to a separate package cirq-google, cirq itself became cirq-core and the cirq metapackage only contains these two subpackages as dependencies. The package extraction was done in a backwards compatible way - existing code that uses cirq.google will still run! However, you will get a DeprecationWarning. In order to switch over, ensure that you have cirq-google installed and change import cirq.google to import cirq_google. Everything else should work!

Histograms

  • We have support for integrated histograms or CDFs to display characterization metrics from quantum chips

Breaking changes

  • as mentioned in the top notice, pip install --upgrade cirq will not suffice to upgrade cirq - please run pip uninstall cirq before upgrading.
  • cirq.rx, ry and rz are now returning a new class cirq.Rx, Ry and Rz respectively. This should work in most cases, unless your code explicitly depends on the type of the return value.
  • cirq_google.SQRT_ISWAP_PARAMETERS got renamed to cirq_google.SQRT_ISWAP_INV_PARAMETERS
  • cirq.Heatmap.plot() now takes all valid heatmap config arguments as **kwargs instead of just **collection_options, which is now a nested config argument (dict). Please see the tests / tutorials for more details.

Changes to top level objects

cirq-core

New top level objects

  • get_state_histogram
  • integrated_histogram
  • ActOnArgs
  • ActOnDensityMatrixArgs
  • CliffordTableau
  • DiagonalGate
  • SimulatesExpectationValues
  • SimulatorBase
  • MeasurementKey
  • Rx,Ry,Rz

Removed objects that were deprecated

  • Removed support for the func parameter in Circuit.transform_qubits(), you now must use qubit_map instead
  • TrialResult is now officially unsupported, use cirq.Result instead. If you have old JSONs lying around, you can just search and replace TrialResult to Result
  • If you have old gate implementations with _resolve_parameter that doesn't support the recursive parameter, you will get an error message: TypeError: _resolve_parameters_() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given, you will need to add support for the recursive:bool parameter
  • Removed support for the density_matrix parameter in cirq.von_neumann_entropy you now must use state instead
  • stabilizers and destabilizers methods are now removed from the CliffordSimulator class, you can find these on the CliffordTableau instead
  • perform_measurement is now renamed to apply_measurement in CliffordSimulator
  • When implementing a subclass of the Simulator class, _simulator_iterator won't work, you will have to use _base_iterator
  • cirq.vis.heatmap.relative_luminance is now moved to cirq.vis.relative_luminance

Objects or parameters that are marked as deprecated and will be removed in coming releases

  • cirq.study.visualize.plot_state_histogram was moved to cirq.vis.plot_state_histogram
  • cirq.google, deadline v0.14
  • cirq.sim.clifford.CliffordTableau moved to a different package, you should use cirq.CliffordTableau instead
  • cirq.contrib.routing.xmon_device_to_graph is deprecated, use cirq.contrib.grid_qubits_to_graph_device instead
  • cirq.contrib.quantum_volume parameter device_or_qubits is deprecated, use device_graph instead.

  • PhasedFSimCalibrationError
