The PennyLane-Qiskit plugin integrates the Qiskit quantum computing framework with PennyLane’s quantum machine learning capabilities.

PennyLane is a cross-platform Python library for quantum machine learning, automatic differentiation, and optimization of hybrid quantum-classical computations.

Qiskit is an open-source framework for quantum computing.

Features

  • Provides three devices to be used with PennyLane: qiskit.aer, qiskit.basicaer and qiskit.ibmq. These devices provide access to the various backends, including the IBM hardware accessible through the cloud.

  • Supports a wide range of PennyLane operations and expectation values across the providers.

  • Combine Qiskit’s high performance simulator and hardware backend support with PennyLane’s automatic differentiation and optimization.

Installation

This plugin requires Python version 3.8 and above, as well as PennyLane and Qiskit. Installation of this plugin, as well as all dependencies, can be done using pip:

pip install pennylane-qiskit

To test that the PennyLane-Qiskit plugin is working correctly you can run

make test

in the source folder. Tests restricted to a specific provider can be run by executing make test-basicaer, make test-aer, and make test-ibmq.

Please refer to the plugin documentation as well as to the PennyLane documentation for further reference.
