This release adds two new quantum circuit renderers -- one based on matplotlib and another that renders the circuit as text -- and improves the circuit simulation speed.
New features
- Add matplotlib-based and text-based quantum circuit renderers. The new rendering framework is more flexible and can be used in different environments without latex dependencies. (#239 and #244 by Rushiraj Gadhvi)
Improvements
einsumis used to speed up the circuit simulation by up to 10 times. (#225 by Boxi Li)
Miscellaneous
- The QIR support is removed. (#238 by Boxi Li)
