StrawberryFields 0.15.1

Release 0.15.1

on Python PyPI

Improvements

• Adds the ability to bypass recompilation of programs if they have been compiled already to the target device. (#447)

Breaking Changes

• Changes the default compiler for devices that don't specify a default from "Xcov" to "Xunitary". This compiler is slightly more strict and only compiles the unitary, not the initial squeezers, however avoids any unintentional permutations. (#445)

Bug fixes

• Fixes a bug where a program that amounts to the identity operation would cause an error when compiled using the xcov compiler. (#444)

Documentation

• Updates the README.rst file and hardware access links. (#448)
