qBraid-QIR 0.2.3

Release 0.2.3 (Sep 27, 2024)

Summary

➕ New Features

• Add support for pauli measurement operators in cirq converter (#144)
• Add support for sizeof operator in openqasm converter (#146)
• Add complete support for array type in subroutines (#151)

🌟 Improvements

• Re-factor the BasicQasmVisitor and improve modularity (#142)
• Add static type checking with mypy (#150 )
• Improve measurement statement parsing logic and add support for range definition and discrete set (#150)
• Expanded support for parameters used in gate body expressions. Initially, if a statement inside a gate body used its parameters in arbitrary expressions, the expression was not evaluated correctly as the identifiers were not replaced. (#157). Example -

// previous  
gate my_gate(a, b) q {
    rx(a) q;
    ry(b) q;

    // this was not supported 
    rz(5 * a) q;
}

// current 
gate my_gate(a, b) q {
    rz(a) q;

    // expressions supported now
    rx(a * 3.2) q; 
    ry(a / b + pi) q;
}
