New features since last release

• Qiskit devices now support custom wire labels. (#99) (#100)

  One can now specify any string or number as a custom wire label, and use these labels to address subsystems on the device:

  dev = qml.device('qiskit.ibmq', wires=['q1', 'ancilla', 0, 1])
  
  def circuit():
    qml.Hadamard(wires='q1')
    qml.CNOT(wires=[1, 'ancilla'])

Improvements

• Adds support for Qiskit v0.20. (#101)

Bug fixes

• When converting QASM or Qiskit circuit to PennyLane templates, the CU1 gate is now natively supported and converted to a QubitUnitary. (#101)
