Improvements 🛠

  • The UI for passing parameters to a qfunc generated when loading a Qiskit QuantumCircuit into PennyLane is updated to allow passing parameters as args or kwargs, rather than as a dictionary. The old dictionary UI continues to be supported. (#406) (#428)

  • Measurement operations are now added to the PennyLane template when a QuantumCircuit is converted using load. Additionally, one can override any existing terminal measurements by providing a list of PennyLane measurements <https://docs.pennylane.ai/en/stable/introduction/measurements.html>_ themselves. (#405) (#466) (#467)

  • Added the support for converting conditional operations based on mid-circuit measurements and two of the ControlFlowOp operations - IfElseOp and SwitchCaseOp when converting a QuantumCircuit using load. (#417) (#465)

  • Qiskit's classical Expr conditionals can also be used with the supported ControlFlowOp operations. (#432)

  • Added conversion support for more Qiskit gates to native PennyLane operations - Barrier, CYGate, CHGate, CPhase, CCZGate, ECRGate, and GlobalPhaseGate. (#449)

  • Added the ability to convert a Qiskit SparsePauliOp instance into a PennyLane Operator. (#401) (#453)

  • Added a pennylane.io entry point for converting Qiskit operators. (#453)

  • Unused parameters are now ignored when a QuantumCircuit is converted using load. (#454)

Bug fixes 🐛

  • QiskitDevice.batch_execute() now gracefully handles empty lists of circuits. (#459)

  • It is now possible to compute the gradient of a circuit with ParameterVector elements. (#458)
