Minimize time-to-research.
PennyLane is unopinionated where it matters. With a functional interface, seamless integration with the scientific ecosystem, and modular building blocks, we get out of the way to help you easily build cutting-edge quantum algorithms.
Using PennyLaneSee how PennyLane is used
Everything differentiable.
PennyLane pioneers a new paradigm — quantum differentiable programming. Everything is trainable, even when using quantum hardware. Don’t just train parameters; train the entire structure of your quantum model.
