Created attachment 766580 [details] qiskit-terra-0.19.2 Hi, I would like to add dev-python/qiskit-terra-0.19.2 as a new package. https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-terra Qiskit is an open-source SDK for working with quantum computers. This element is Terra and is the foundation on which the rest of Qiskit is built. I'm planning to add Qiskit library and it's elements to Gentoo. The test feature does work on my computer. As soon as I get access to GURU, I will add it to that repository. I added myself as a maintainer in the metadata.xml file, however, comaintainers are welcomed. I suggest adding this package to dev-python instead of sci-libs/sci-physics/sci-mathematics, because quantum computers can be regarded as general purpose computers, like current classical computers. This library is made to use quantum computers to compute, not to investigate a specific scientific idea. Current computers also use physics and scientific knowledge to operate, quantum computers just use different set of scientific knowledge for the same purpose, but supposedly, with better algorithmic complexity. Gabor.
I'm planning to add qiskit meta package later, when more components are ready. This meta package would install all elements of Qiskit. Also, I'd like to add bip-mapper and crosstalk-pass use flags later to qiskit-terra, when I figure out how they work. It will take a considerable amount of time, since they are not that important.

It'd be a lot easier to review and merge together then. (One PR for the whole lot, separate commits.)

I was discouraged to create pull requests for new packages on the main repo, because there aren't enough resources for that.
I'm happy to maintain this package along with tweedledum and qiskit-aer.
Created the github pull request. All updates are there for the related packages. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/24455
