v0.2.0

New features:

• Parametrized sequences: Sequence now supports variable declaration, which can be used to create parametrized objects and sequences. Can be used to build multiple sequences from a single parametrized sequence by changing the values attributed to the variables.
• JSON serialization: Sequences can now be serialized to and deserialized from JSON-formatted strings.
• Hamiltonian generation: From a Simulation instance, it is now possible to get the Hamiltonian describing a Sequence at any given time t.

Pulser v0.1.2

Bug fixes:

• Increasing robustness of Register initialization
• Allowing Blackman waveforms with negative area
• Allowing simulation of a single atom system
• Drawing a register's connectivity when given a blockade radius, by default

Enhancements:

• Method for Blackman waveform creation from a maximum allowed value
• Method to get a simulation results' final state

Pulser v0.1.1

Bugs:

• Fixed incompatibility issue with latest version of QuTiP

Enhancements:

• Added option to draw half the blockade radius around the atoms in Register and the corresponding connectivity graph
• Added method to Device to get the Rabi frequency corresponding to a blockade radius

First stable release

Additions

The first relevant release of Pulser, it introduces all the core elements of Pulser. These are:

• The Waveform classes in pulser.waveforms
• The Pulse class, made up of Waveforms for the detuning and amplitude
• The Device classes, in pulser.devices which contain device-specific information that conditions the creation of a sequence
• The Channel class, which describes each hardware channel in a Device
• The Register class, which stores the configuration of the atoms in the array
• The Sequence class, the core object in Pulser, which uses all the classes above to create a sequence of pulses, allocated to different channels of a specific device.
• The Simulation and SimulationResults classes, for emulating the output of a Sequence using QuTiP libraries.

PyPI nameholder

This is a barebones release which serves only to register the pulser name in PyPI.
