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.
