v0.37.0

[cosenal]

Highlights

✨ Stacking quantum error mitigation techniques is a primary area of focus in Mitiq. In this release, @jordandsullivan introduced a Tutorial on composing Digital Dynamical Decoupling (DDD) and Zero Noise Extrapolation (ZNE).

🗒️ »Download Notebook«: Users have now the option to download tutorials in Jupyter .ipynb format directly from our documentation. We hope this will encourage experimentation with existing tutorials.

🤐 Lastly, a spoiler on what's upcoming: a Request for Comments document by @purva-thakre on adding Layerwise Noise-Scaling and Multivariate Richardson Extrapolation has been reviewed and approved. These techniques will soon make their way into Mitiq, stay tuned!
