Stay up to date with the latest Fire Opal release notes

Fire Opal 4.0.1

March 23, 2023

What's new

  • We've built a new function, solve_qaoa! With this new function, all aspects of running QAOA on real hardware are fully optimized to reduce errors and improve the quality of solutions—all with zero configuration on your part!

Fire Opal 4.0.0

March 17, 2023

Breaking changes

  • We made a tiny change to the parameters for execute and validate. Instead of accepting backend as a parameter, these functions now accept backend_name. This was to avoid any confusion with Backend Objects. We recommend updating your package and application code accordingly.

What's new

  • Fire Opal now supports mid-circuit measurements and multiple quantum and classical registers. Go check out our docs!

Fire Opal 3.3.0

December 20, 2022

What's new

  • Not much to note in terms of features or fixes.
  • We updated some things internally to improve the way we show warnings.
  • Carry on—business as usual.

Fire Opal 3.2.0

December 20, 2022

Breaking changes

  • We've updated the parameters for show_supported_devices. The function now accepts your hardware provider credentials as a Dictionary, instead of accepting a simple String to specify the hardware provider. As an output, you'll now only see devices to which your credentials have access. We hope this helps with choice paralysis in choosing a backend.

What's new

  • The validate now prints warnings. In cases like validating a circuit that nears the specified device's T1 limits, you'll notice these warnings.
