Month: 2025-12. Focused on documenting the Kipu Iskay Quantum Optimizer in the Qiskit/documentation repo. Delivered a comprehensive documentation update introducing new preprocessing, transpilation, and postprocessing levels, including detailed guidance on transpilation levels (0-5) with max_trials, and postprocessing levels (0-2) for classical optimization. Added notes on seed_transpiler default behavior and optimization strategy. Prepared groundwork for performance benchmarks and business-value explanations. Collaboration: co-authored by abbycross. Impact: improves onboarding, reduces support overhead, and enables users to leverage advanced optimization features, aligning with the product roadmap.

November 2025 delivered a production-ready Market Split tutorial using Iskay optimizer in Qiskit/documentation, covering background, problem formulation, and end-to-end implementation guidance. The work included a major refactor to align the notebook with the current Iskay solver, remove outdated benchmarks, and enhance the QUBO-to-Iskay conversion to ensure compatibility and correctness. Dependency and configuration updates were implemented (added qiskit-addon-opt-mapper; simplified Iskay configuration by removing token/instance parameters), with end-to-end validation confirming correct Iskay results on production qiskit-function. The effort also expanded documentation with mathematical explanations of the penalty method and QUBO formulation, underscoring business value through improved onboarding and reliable tooling for QDC 2025 use cases.
