Powered by recent upgrades, you can now use
@PyTorch
as a quantum simulation backend 💡
Full support for quantum gradients via backpropagation! 🔄
Shout out to Slimane Thabet, Esteban Payares, and Arshpreet Singh for this mega contribution from

Hamiltonians have received new upgrades across the board 🏚️👉🏡
- Hamiltonian coefficients now trainable 🛤️
- Runs natively in your circuit (no more ExpvalCost!) 🎊
- Stores information about commuting groups 👥
All this translates into big speedups for simulations 🚀

🤩 Quantum-aware optimization takes another step forward: the RotosolveOptimizer can now be applied to arbitrary quantum circuits
Based on the latest work by
@DWierichs
. Check out our recent demo for more behind-the-scenes details:

🛒 We've got more quantum circuit transforms!
- Batch transforms to process multiple quantum circuits at the same time 👯♀️
- Gradient transforms to register custom quantum gradients⛰️
Transforms support classical processing and are fully differentiable 🤓
