v1.22.0
Below are some of the highlights for the 1.22 release of the QDK.
Python qdk package is out of preview
With this release, the qdk package on PyPI is now considered stable and out of preview, and is the recommended way to install the QDK for Python users. The package includes a number of 'extras' to add optional functionality, such as Jupyter Notebook support, Azure Quantum integration, and Qiskit interop. For example, to install the QDK with Qiskit, Jupyter and Azure Quantum support:
pip install "qdk[qiskit,jupyter,azure]"
As a shortcut to install all optional functionality, you can also do:
pip install "qdk[all]"
See https://pypi.org/project/qdk/ for more details.
Qiskit 2 support
With this release, the QDK supports both Qiskit 1.x and 2.x releases for converting a Qiskit circuit into QIR and submitting as a job to the Azure Quantum service.
