Xanadu PennyLane

PennyLane is a vast library of quantum computing tools developed by Xanadu. This library contains many functions that help with optimization, chemistry, and quantum machine learning use cases. You can explore the many well-written tutorials directly on the PennyLane website at https://pennylane.ai/.

Calling Amazon Braket devices from PennyLane

Amazon provides a plugin for PennyLane users to run their algorithms on Amazon Braket devices. The setup for this can be found at https://amazon-braket-pennylane-plugin-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

To use this, you will have to install the PennyLane library using the following command line:

pip3 install pennylane

And then also add the following:

pip3 install amazon-braket-pennylane-plugin

Using PennyLane within Amazon Braket Hybrid Jobs

Amazon Braket Hybrid Jobs allows the creation of a PennyLane instance that has all the PennyLane libraries installed. To make use of this, pass the appropriate...
