Release 2.1.0: Drop Python 3.7 Support and Loosen Z3 Requirements

This release drops support for Python 3.7 (in accordance with its deprecation in Qiskit).
Furthermore, it drops the variable limitation in the exact mapper allowing to explore larger circuits and architectures.

What's Changed

• 🐍🔥 Drop Python 3.7 support by @burgholzer in #224
• 🔥 Drop variable limitation for exact mapper by @burgholzer in #225

Release 2.0.1: Bugfix Release

What's Changed

This release fixes a long-standing (yet undetected) bug in the coupling limit computation for limiting the number of SWAPs considered during optimal circuit mapping (see #216 for further details). This is expected to increase performance of the optimal mapper for certain architectures (e.g., ring-like architectures) by quite a bit.
On top of that, this release fixes a bug where the circuit extraction in the exact mapper did not work properly whenever the resulting circuit makes use of more qubits than the original circuit (see #217 for further details).

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.0.1

Release 2.0.0

What's Changed

This major release marks the first big addition to QMAP that goes beyond quantum circuit mapping: (Optimal) Clifford Circuit Synthesis. See https://mqtqmap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Synthesis.html for further details.

✨ New Features

• Optimal Clifford circuit synthesis based on

  S. Schneider, L. Burgholzer, and R. Wille. A SAT Encoding for Optimal Clifford Circuit Synthesis. In Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference (ASP-DAC), 2023. (arXiv:2208.11713)

• QMAP can now natively handle circuits with more than 128 qubits by dropping some technical restrictions and modernizing the project structure.

♿ Accessibility

• ⚙️ Push-button solution for quantum circuit mapping and Clifford circuit synthesis
• 🐧/🍎/🏁 pre-built Python wheels for Linux, macOS (incl. Apple Silicon), and Windows
• 🐍 Python 3.7 to 3.11 support
• ⚛️ Seamless integration with Qiskit

🎨 Code Quality

• 🗃️ follow the LLVM coding standards for C++
• 🐍 follows best practices for developing Python projects and packages from the popular Scikit-HEP project
• 🧪 extensive unit tests for C++ and Python
• 🪝 pre-commit checks

📝 Project documentation hosted at ReadTheDocs.

• 🚀 Quickstart and User Guide
• 🧑‍💻 Development Guide
