Cirq v1.7.0 release

General

Added support for Python 3.14 and protobuf-6. Increased the minimum version of NumPy to 2.1. Established performance benchmarks suite based on pytest-benchmarks. Increased type-check coverage for return types of public functions. Improved speed and reliability of the CI test suite.

cirq-core

Added CY and CCY gates. Added circuit insertion strategy LATEST to complement EARLIEST. Improved handling of measurement and control keys overlap in Circuit.insert and Circuit.append. Added efficient sparse matrix computation to PauliString and PauliSum. Improved dynamical decoupling transformer to better preserve input circuit structure. Added lightcone filter transformer. Thoroughly optimized computation of PhasedXZGate unitary and of its has_stabilizer_effect flag. Added tools for creating GHZ state-preparing circuits with 1D and 2D connectivity of qubits. Added cirq.symbol function for a more convenient setup of parametrized circuits. Improved handling of unordered sets in cirq.approx_eq.

cirq-core contrib

Added functions for measuring expectation values of Pauli strings with readout and T-rex error mitigations. Added tool for measuring the fidelity of GHZ states. Enhanced support for import and export of circuits to QASM 3. Added publication-quality circuit rendering via LaTeX and Quantikz (experimental).

cirq-google

Many enhancements to utilize developments of the internal QuantumEngineService. Improved support and efficiency of running multi-circuit and batched parametrized-circuit programs. Added specialized gates to express options and parameters available for Google quantum hardware. Added simulator for circuits with analog gates.

cirq-ionq

Updated IonQ client for the IonQ API version 0.4. Added support for retrying engine requests that failed due to service rate limits.

cirq-pasqal

Fixed PasqalGateset to correctly produce single-gate moments in transformed circuits.

cirq-web

Migrated from Webpack to the Vite framework for Typescript development and packaging.
