Benchmarking the performance of scqubits between releases

[petergthatsme]

The goal of this enhancement is to set up a basic test suite for benchmarking the performance of scqubits between releases and branches. We aim to use the asv package which already implements much of such functionality.

A simple tutorial of how asv works can be set up is shown here

Possible implementation steps:

• Install asv.

• Run asv quickstart to set up the default configuration.

• Edit the newly created benchmarks/benchmarks.py by updating the TestSuite with some number of "reasonable" tests (those should include some number of tests that have already been implemented here).

• Make sure that the benchmarking process works and can be ran (see asv's documentation: at the very least test that something like asv run branch1..branch2 runs the benchmark that compares the performance between a couple of different branches).

Thanks.

Hi @petergthatsme. Sorry, haven't had too much time to work on it as I got quite sick over the past couple weeks. Been slowly getting back into it over the weekend and should get alot done today.
