Warning

Unless you are a PennyLane or plugin developer, you likely do not need to use these functions directly.

See the main interfaces page for more details on available interfaces.

Modules

This subpackage defines functions for interfacing devices’ execution capabilities with different machine learning libraries.

Execution functions and utilities

execute(tapes, device[, gradient_fn, …])

cache_execute(fn, cache[, pass_kwargs, …])

Decorator that adds caching to a function that executes multiple tapes on a device.

set_shots(device, shots)

Context manager to temporarily change the shots of a device.
