About documentation:

📚 IBM Quantum Learning courses are moving to Qiskit v2 in the coming weeks: learning.quantum.ibm.com

📔 Guides & API Docs are up-to-date docs.quantum.ibm.com/api/qiskit

📕 There is a new C API Documentation section! docs.quantum.ibm.com/api/qiskit-c

About SemVer docs.quantum.ibm.com/open-source/... :

🐍 Qiskit v2 is not backwards compatible with Qiskit v1. Upgrading blindly with `pip install -U qiskit` might break your code.

🦥 Qiskit v1.4 will receive bug fixes until Sept 2025. Use it as a transitional version `pip install -U qiskit>=1.4,<2`

Still want something installable and runnable? I got you:

> pip install qiskit==2.0.0rc2

Grab the release candidate today! 🚀

Remember, you don’t need to switch to v2.0 immediately. Qiskit v1.4 will continue receiving bug fixes 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, so you have time!

👁️ If you’d like a sneak peek at the release notes, check out this very raw/work-in-progress this PR: github.com/Qiskit/qiski...
🔭 You can also find some a high-level view in the roadmap: qisk.it/roadmap#qisk...
📮 As usual, a blog post announcement with technical detail will follow the release.

Qiskit does not do it *that* differently. The last stage of the compilation is scheduling and it's similar to your circuit-to-pulse compiler.
