Highlights

Happy solstice season! This release got started with a bang thanks to unitaryHACK 2025 which took place May 28-June 11. We had 5 issues closed by 4 different first time contributors!

• @q-inho added support for custom circuits in the Calibrator class, allowing users to specify their own circuits when running calibration experments. They also added a new function mitiq.zne.visualize_fits to plot ZNE results with multiple extrapolation techniques, which is useful for comparing the performance of different extrapolation methods.
• @MChang360686 added a new page to the user guide showing how to use Mitiq's two-stage technique approach to understand the resources required when running a specific protocol.
• @ACE07-Sev upgraded typehints across the mitiq codebase to remove deprecated features, and use the latest functionality.
• @ahkatlio added a new tutorial demonstrating how to combine Pauli Twirling, Digital Dynamical Decoupling, Zero Noise Extrapolation, and Readout Error Mitigation.
