Changelog

Version 0.7.2

Deprecated Python 3.7 for the provider. Python 3.7 has been officially deprecated since June 27th 2023. (https://devguide.python.org/versions/) This was triggered after ARM chip users experienced issues with installing the provider since Numpy is not built for ARM Python 3.7.
Set max version of Python to 3.11 for the provider. Python 3.12+ introduces breaking changes to setuptools. The Alice & Bob team will support this version in the near future.
Changed default remote API URL to api-gcp.alice-bob.com instead of api.alice-bob.com, following the official release of Felis Cloud on Google Cloud Platform. GCP is now the main point of entry to use Felis Cloud.
Added a warning when instancing the AliceBobRemoteProvider if a new version of the provider is available on pypi.

Add support for the TDG gate for the logical backends of the remote provider (the TDG gate was already supported on the local provider)

Fix a transpilation issue that prevented the usage of logical backends with the remote provider.

Fix a transpilation issue for the logical backends, preventing the transpilation of circuits using a cswap gate.

Improved transpilation and scheduling for the local backends, to better support programs imported from QASM code.

Harmonized the get_backend functions of the remote and local provider to act in a similar manner. The following line is now working as it does for local:

remote_provider.get_backend('EMU:6Q:PHYSICAL_CATS', average_nb_photons=4.5, kappa_1=1000)

Released multi-qubits logical and physical targets for the remote provider, allowing to run these models remotely.
