What's new in the docs?

IBM Quantum™ documentation recently added a number of user-facing improvements, including content updates and new features. Many of these changes are a result of specific user requests! Check out the highlights below.

New and updated content

New pages

• Primitive inputs and outputs
• Noise learning helper
• Expanded and improved Qiskit Serverless docs, including four new pages that walk you through how to use Qiskit Serverless: Write your first Qiskit Serverless program, Run your first Qiskit Serverless workload remotely, Manage Qiskit Serverless compute and data resources, and Port code to Qiskit Serverless

Content additions and improvements

• Clarity around the maximum execution time for batches, how usage is reported for failed and canceled jobs, and how usage affects job priority within an instance.
• Probabilistic error amplification (PEA) has been added to the Error techniques topic.

User experience improvements

Whether you are looking for documentation specific to a Qiskit pattern step, or simply want to jump straight to the tool you need, you can quickly browse for the content you need.
• The landing page has a fresh new design with an improved focus on API references.
• We've launched an Additional resources tab that directs you to the migration guides, open-source resources, responsible quantum computing guidelines, and the Qiskit ecosystem.
• Tables in the docs now have borders to improve readability.
• Alt-text has been added to all images to make them more accessible.
• Heading size has been adjusted so that it does not change when the screen size changes.
• Code styling has been improved, including bigger fonts and better contrast for code block comments.
