Tried to assign @amirebrahimi but he doesn't appear in the list of possible assignees when I type in his username.

Thanks for the update. I have comments in the RFC that I'll be addressing soon.

Thanks @amirebrahimi, I left some comments on the RFC document. For my side, the current version of the RFC can be accepted! However a formal acceptance decision can only be taken after a proper discussion with other members of the Mitiq team. I'll keep you posted!

Nice job Amir, this looks really great. I've made a comment about naming similar to Andrea's, but this is ready to move on to the next steps from me. I've marked it as accepted. Congrats! 🥳 🎉

I'll close this out now as this ticket was just for tracking the RFC, and we can use https://github.com/unitaryfund/mitiq/issues/815 for the implementation whenever we decide to do that.
