Warning

PennyLane datasets use the dill module to compress, store, and read data. Since dill is built on the pickle module, we reproduce an important warning from the pickle module: it is possible to construct malicious pickle data which will execute arbitrary code during unpickling. Never unpickle data that could have come from an untrusted source, or that could have been tampered with.
