History

0.6.0 (2024-06-04)

• Update: qutip >= 5.0 is now required

• Removed: function cartan_decomposition. This would return wrong results, and it is not clear how to implement it correctly.

0.5.0 (2024-06-03)

• Drop: Compatibility with matplotlib < 3.3

• Drop: Compatibility with qutip >= 5.0

0.4.0 (2022-03-18)

• Drop: Support for Python 3.5-3.7
