"""PennyLane Lightning Qubit device.
A device that interfaces with C++ to perform fast linear algebra calculations.
Use of this device requires pre-built binaries or compilation from source. Check out the
:doc:`/lightning_qubit/installation` guide for more details.
Args:
wires (int): the number of wires to initialize the device with
c_dtype: Datatypes for statevector representation. Must be one of
``np.complex64`` or ``np.complex128``.
shots (int): How many times the circuit should be evaluated (or sampled) to estimate
the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and
variances analytically.
seed (Union[str, None, int, array_like[int], SeedSequence, BitGenerator, Generator]): A
seed-like parameter matching that of ``seed`` for ``numpy.random.default_rng``, or
a request to seed from numpy's global random number generator.
The default, ``seed="global"`` pulls a seed from NumPy's global generator. ``seed=None``
will pull a seed from the OS entropy.
mcmc (bool): Determine whether to use the approximate Markov Chain Monte Carlo
sampling method when generating samples.
kernel_name (str): name of transition MCMC kernel. The current version supports
two kernels: ``"Local"`` and ``"NonZeroRandom"``.
The local kernel conducts a bit-flip local transition between states.
The local kernel generates a random qubit site and then generates a random
number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
num_burnin (int): number of MCMC steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
batch_obs (bool): Determine whether we process observables in parallel when
computing the jacobian. This value is only relevant when the lightning
qubit is built with OpenMP.
