  • Add optional argument allow_2q_gate_rebase argument to process_circuit(), process_circuits() and submit_program() to allow the backend to rebase to rebase the circuit to a different two-qubit gate judged to have better fidelity before being run. The default is to not allow this.

  • Renamed QuantinuumBackend.submit_qasm() to QuantinuumBackend.submit_program(), with a language argument.

  • Add a language kwarg to QuantinuumBackend.process_circuits(), defaulting to Language.QASM. (Support for Language.QIR is experimental and its use is not recommended; a warning will be emitted. You must install the pytket-qir package separately in order to use this feature.)
