This template repository provides the boilerplate and file structure required to easily create your own PennyLane plugin.
See the PennyLane Developer API documentation for more details on developing a PennyLane plugin.
Target framework is a full-stack Python library for doing things.
PennyLane is a machine learning library for optimization and automatic differentiation of hybrid quantum-classical computations.
- List the features provided by the plugin here. This can include:
- The devices made available to PennyLane, as well as any special features of the devices
- The core PennyLane operations and observables supported
- Any additional operations and observables provided by the plugin
Plugin Name requires both PennyLane and Target framework. It can be installed via pip
:
$ python -m pip install pennylane-damavand
Once Plugin Name is installed, the provided Target Framework devices can be accessed straight away in PennyLane.
You can instantiate these devices for PennyLane as follows:
import pennylane as qml
dev1 = qml.device('damavand.qubit', wires=2, additional_options=10)
These devices can then be used just like other devices for the definition and evaluation of QNodes within PennyLane. For more details, see the plugin usage guide and refer to the PennyLane documentation.
We welcome contributions - simply fork the Plugin Name repository, and then make a pull request containing your contribution. All contributers to PennyLane-SF will be listed as authors on the releases.
We also encourage bug reports, suggestions for new features and enhancements, and even links to cool projects or applications built on PennyLane and Target Framework.
