Jun 1, 2025

For June 2025, repository cda-tum/mqt-qecc, delivered key enhancements to make qsample optional, improving installation experience and reducing friction for users. Refactored packaging (pyproject.toml) to set qsample as an optional dependency and updated circuit_synthesis to gracefully handle ImportError, with documentation explaining optional extra installation. Introduced test stability by filtering qsample deprecation warnings during tests to ensure reliable test runs when qsample is installed locally. These changes reduce onboarding friction, improve CI reliability, and demonstrate strong packaging, robustness, and test infrastructure skills.

Apr 1, 2025

April 2025: Focused on streamlining the QECC tooling toward a Python-first workflow and enabling file-based loading of QECCs. Key maintenance and business-value work reduced long-term risk by removing legacy C++ components and aligning CI/docs with a Python-centric package. Introduced file-based loading for CSSCode and StabilizerCode, and made the CSSCode distance parameter optional, with docs and example notebooks updated accordingly. These changes improve reproducibility, onboarding, and experimentation speed for Python users while reducing ongoing maintenance.
