 # Changelog
 
+## Version 0.28.0
+
+### Summary
+
+#### Quantum Subspace Expansion
+
+With the main functionaly implemented, quantum subspace expansion is now available in Mitiq!
+The technique requires a sequence of check operators, a Hamiltonian, and an observable in addition to the typical circuit and executor that Mitiq needs to operate.
+```py
+from mitiq.qse import execute_with_qse
+
+execute_with_qse(circuit, executor, check_operators, code_hamiltonian, observable)
+```
+
+This feature is still in flux, and would greatly benefit from further testing.
+Do give a try, and [let us know if you have feedback](https://github.com/unitaryfund/mitiq/issues/new/)!
+More details can be found in our [API-doc](https://mitiq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/apidoc.html#module-mitiq.qse.qse).
+Congratulations to @bubakazouba for the great work here.
+
+#### PEC Calibration
+
+Last release we added support to run PEC experiments within the `calibration` module.
+This release we made two improvements:
+
+1. Calibration experiments now represent all two-qubit gates by default (previously this was just $\mathrm{C}X$ and $\mathrm{C}Z$ gates.)
+2. When running `calibrator.run(log=True)` you will now find results from your PEC pretty-printed alongside any ZNE experiments.
+
+#### Installation
+
+Our core dependencies (NumPy, Cirq, SciPy) are now less tightly specified which means easier installs for users!
+
+#### Robust Shadow Estimation
+
+@Min-Li has been hard at work bringing shadows to Mitiq.
+The `shadows` module is not quite ready for use, but you can get a sneak peak of what's to come in the Classical Shadows section of our [API-doc](https://mitiq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/apidoc.html#classical-shadows).
