v0.35.0

Version 0.35.0

In this milestone, we've continued our work to support Qibo by providing a new tutorial, adding related Qibo-conversion functionality to the API-doc, and added Qibo to our main list of supported frontends. We've also added the capability to use rotated randomized benchmarking circuits as part of the calibrator. These circuits provide expectation values ranging from 0 to 1 when measuring the probability that the output state is in the ground state. Having circuits with a wide range of expectation values is an important benchmarking task, and make a great test for finding the correct error mitigation technique/parameters. If you find any bugs/inconveniences in working with these updates make sure to open an issue so we are able to fix it ASAP!

This release also contains contributions from two new Mitiq contributors, and Unitary Fund team members Alessandro and Jordan! Welcome both, and looking forward to many more contributions! Well done making your first contribution so quickly 🏎️💨!
