Fire Opal 7.3.0

April 30, 2024

What's new

• Fire Opal's new iterate function that is optimized for submitting multiple jobs! Leverage this function for variational algorithms or batch workloads to take advantage of optimized pre-processing and device queue management.
• Fire Opal now also supports parameterized quantum circuits, which are crucial for use cases such as variational quantum algorithms and quantum machine learning.

Fire Opal 7.0.0

March 12, 2024

What's new

• There has been a minor modification to the inputs of Fire Opal's QAOA Solver. problem_type is an optional parameter now, and only required for graph problem definitions. That means that the parameter order has also changed.
• Previously, the inputs were in the following order:
  ​(problem, problem_type, credentials, backend_name=None)
• Now, the inputs are in this order:
  ​(problem, credentials, problem_type=None, backend_name=None)

What's new

• With this update, we've improved the error message in case you accidentally (or maybe purposefully?) submit an empty list of circuits.

Fire Opal 6.7.0

January 26, 2024

What's new

• Things have changed, but the differences shouldn't be materially noticeable for you...kind of like the subatomic world.

Fire Opal 6.6.0

November 14, 2023

What's new

• Fire Opal now supports API key-based authentication! This feature enables you to use Fire Opal from web or cloud-based environments without having to authenticate via a browser. Take a look at the user guide to learn how to use the feature.
