Cirq v1.7.0 release
General
Added support for Python 3.14 and protobuf-6. Increased the minimum
version of NumPy to 2.1. Established performance benchmarks suite
based on pytest-benchmarks. Increased type-check coverage for
return types of public functions. Improved speed and reliability
of the CI test suite.
cirq-core
Added CY and CCY gates. Added circuit insertion strategy LATEST to
complement EARLIEST. Improved handling of measurement and control keys
overlap in Circuit.insert and Circuit.append. Added efficient
sparse matrix computation to PauliString and PauliSum.
Improved dynamical decoupling transformer to better preserve input circuit
structure. Added lightcone filter transformer. Thoroughly optimized
computation of PhasedXZGate unitary and of its has_stabilizer_effect flag.
Added tools for creating GHZ state-preparing circuits with 1D and 2D
connectivity of qubits. Added cirq.symbol function for a more
convenient setup of parametrized circuits. Improved handling of unordered
sets in cirq.approx_eq.
cirq-core contrib
Added functions for measuring expectation values of Pauli strings with readout
and T-rex error mitigations. Added tool for measuring the fidelity of GHZ
states. Enhanced support for import and export of circuits to QASM 3. Added
publication-quality circuit rendering via LaTeX and Quantikz (experimental).
cirq-google
Many enhancements to utilize developments of the internal QuantumEngineService.
Improved support and efficiency of running multi-circuit and batched
parametrized-circuit programs. Added specialized gates to express
options and parameters available for Google quantum hardware.
Added simulator for circuits with analog gates.
cirq-ionq
Updated IonQ client for the IonQ API version 0.4. Added support
for retrying engine requests that failed due to service rate limits.
cirq-pasqal
Fixed PasqalGateset to correctly produce single-gate moments in transformed circuits.
cirq-web
Migrated from Webpack to the Vite framework for Typescript development and packaging.
