QUT first release

Release Notes – QUT v1.0.0-beta.1

We are excited to announce the first release of QUT (Quantum Unit Testing) — a lightweight framework designed to make unit testing for quantum software accessible, practical, and efficient.

Overview

The QUT framework enables developers and researchers to write small, readable, and maintainable unit tests for quantum subroutines. QUT is built on top of the Qiskit library and supports both simulation and IBM Quantum hardware environments, making it practical for development, prototyping, and real hardware validation.

Key Features

Readable Test Syntax – Write concise and intuitive unit tests tailored for quantum applications.

No Extra Quantum Resources Needed – QUT runs tests using only the quantum resources already required by the application.

Quantum Tomography Support – Leverage state reconstruction techniques to validate quantum states and operations.

Statistical Test Integration – Perform hypothesis testing on measurement outcomes to validate expected quantum behavior.
