How do I handle gradients on real quantum hardware?

The skill guides you in using the parameter-shift rule, which allows for the calculation of gradients on physical quantum devices where traditional backpropagation is not possible.

Which quantum hardware providers does this skill support?

This skill provides implementation patterns for all major providers supported by PennyLane plugins, including IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket, Google Cirq, Rigetti, and IonQ.

Can I use PennyLane for quantum chemistry?

Yes, the skill includes specific workflows for quantum chemistry, such as building molecular Hamiltonians and running the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) to find ground state energies.

What is the primary benefit of using PennyLane with Claude Code?

PennyLane allows Claude to help you treat quantum circuits as differentiable layers, enabling the creation of hybrid AI models that combine quantum processing with classical machine learning libraries like PyTorch.
