Attached are the up-to-date documentation for version 1.1 of the Intel® Quantum SDK.
Note that these documents will continue to expand with additional examples, explanations, and corrections; and the revision number tracks updates to the individual documents. Release notes for the Intel® Quantum SDK versions and the documentations revisions can be found below.

Intel(R) Quantum SDK - v1.0 Release Notes
================================================================================
Addition of Quantum Dot Simulator Backend
- The Intel® Quantum SDK supports a new target backend for the full-stack in simulation. This is a physics-based simulation of quantum dot qubits as well as simulation of control electronics.
Addition of Placement and Scheduler passes
- The Intel® Quantum SDK now provides automatic mapping and scheduling of quantum algorithms onto qubits. These passes treat the problem of mapping variables of type qbit onto the qubits as a physical resource and take into account the connectivity between qubits.
Added support for OpenQASM 2.0
- The Intel® Quantum SDK provides a source-to-source translator module that enables users to directly use programs that they have written to output OpenQASM 2.0.
Added an interface to Python
- The Intel® Quantum SDK supports interacting with the Python parts of the quantum computing eco-system through a choice of writing OpenQASM 2.0 and compiling it or by compiling your own shared object.
Changes to the API naming convention
- Following LLVM-style to provide predictability in the future, several of the existing methods' names in the API of the Intel® Quantum SDK were standardized so that they are compliant. This onetime breaking of the user API should increase future user-friendliness.
Additional Information
- The README in the directory with these release notes contains a comprehensive description of the Intel® Quantum SDK including these new features.

========================================================================
Intel(R) Quantum SDK - Beta Silver Release Notes
========================================================================
Changes to global data types
- cbit is no longer required to be declared global.
- quantum_shared_double_array has been deprecated and is no longer the required type for passing parameters into quantum gates that accept parameters. You can use locally defined variables.
- extern std::vector<double> ProbabilityRegister is no longer supported. The data contained in the state vector can be accessed through the APIs of the FullStateSimulator class.
Changes to Circuit Optimization
- The O1 optimization bug that sometimes moved measurements away from the end of the quantum_kernel is fixed.
- The '-O1' optimization flag can now be used with the dynamic parameter feature.
Changes to the Intel® Quantum Simulator Back-end
- Removed the dependence on a .json file to configure the setting of the Intel® Quantum Simulator at runtime. Now, the FullStateSimulator class plays the role of configuring the quantum hardware that the simulator represents.
- Measurement operations will consistently collapse the wave function. Stochastic sampling using the state vector will yield deterministic results for the qubits that have been measured.
- The simulation output is no longer printed to a .json file. This has been replaced with user-friendly APIs to access the simulation data. Consult the README to learn more about the full API and auxiliary classes for working with the FullStateSimulator.

**************************************************************************************************************
Intel(R) Quantum SDK Developer Guide and Reference for Version 1.0 Revision 1.1 Release Notes
**************************************************************************************************************
- Chapter 14 had several method descriptions corrected
- getSamples had an incorrect return type and explanation
- patternToIndices had an incorrect example return in the description
- Chapter 18 on the Quantum Dot Simulator was expanded to include a white paper posted on the Intel Community forum.
- The FAQ content was separated into a chapter (Chapter 23) so that questions appear in the Table of Contents; and a question and answer was added to the FAQ.
- Chapter 24 containing Tutorials was expanded
- to provide commentary on the the three GHZ state examples included in the quantum_examples/ directory.
- to add another example & discussion of the variational approach to use thermofield doubles to model a quantum system; posted elsewhere on the Intel Community forum
- A Bibliography was added along with in-text citations.
- The inter-document hypertext references now point at the correct Chapter / Section instead of just prior to it.
- Additional local table of contents were added for Chapters with multiple sub-sections to aid navigation.
- A number of smaller typos and formatting errors were fixed (for example, math mode not being correctly rendered in-line, spelling mistakes, etc.).
