Aug 1, 2025August 2025 Performance Update: Delivered Matrix Computation Performance Optimization for sandialabs/pyGSTi, focusing on core matrix operations to boost speed and robustness. Implemented a targeted change set: removed a redundant diagonal matrix construction in construct_fogi_quantities (direct pseudoinverse) and updated the QR decomposition mode in independent_columns for improved compatibility across workflows. The work reduces runtime overhead in matrix-heavy routines and increases numerical stability, enabling faster simulations and more reliable results for users. Commit b68f18297c8a893c4d0ec8d8a4e1030066f06375 documented as "removed unnecessary diagonal matrix as pointed out by Corey".

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for sandialabs/pyGSTi: Two primary feature streams were delivered to improve reliability and maintainability: Label Indexing Robustness and Testing, and FOGI Computation Robustness and Maintenance. Key outcomes include consolidating label_index logic, adding graceful handling for missing labels, refactoring for consistency, and expanding test coverage; plus fixes to the FOGI label_index bug. For FOGI, we improved numerical robustness (SVD handling, input compatibility) and updated tests and documentation. Minor cleanup included removal of debug prints, dead code, and whitespace, along with import correctness fixes. Overall impact: higher reliability in labeling and FOGI computations, reduced regression risk, and a stronger foundation for future features. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python, numerical methods (SVD), testing and test coverage, code refactoring, documentation, and attention to maintainability.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for sandialabs/pyGSTi: Delivered robustness and new capabilities across POVM handling, GLND modeling, and parameterization testing. Key outcomes include fixing parameter counting for errgen in the POVM module and clarifying CPTP conversion warnings to prevent test failures; introducing GLND gate model support with a new base class and tester and expanding tests to cover GLND behavior; and strengthening model parameterization tests to ensure counts reflect all components and align with parameterization schemes. These improvements reduce test fragility, clarify intent, and enable broader experimental validation of simulations.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly review for sandialabs/pyGSTi: Implemented enhanced model conversion capabilities and standardized parameters to improve interoperability and reliability for users converting between multiple noise-free model types. Key changes include support for converting between GLND, CPTPLND, H+S, S, and full TP, and standardization of CPTP penalty default and truncation tolerance across conversions. The CPTP penalty is now optional and defaulted to 1e-7 across all instances. These changes reduce manual configuration, improve cross-model workflows, and enable more robust benchmarking and experimentation.
