How to use Kerr like non-linear gates in Mr. Mustard?

Hello! I am wondering if there are any plans for a direct plugin for MrMustard within PennyLane in the future, similar to pennylane-sf（PennyLane-Strawberry Fields Plugin）.
Hi @K-K, welcome to the Forum!
I’d love to learn more about your use case. Can you share more about the task or work that you would like to accomplish with this?
Thank you for the follow-up question, that’s a great point.
I apologies if my initial question was a bit vague.
My goal right now is more foundational.
I would like to perform non-Gaussian operations (like the Kerr gate) within the PennyLane framework. This was previously possible using the pennylane-sf plugin, but Strawberry Fields seems to be no longer actively developed.
Since MrMustard is the newer, CV simulator, I was wondering if there are any plans for a direct plugin that would allow us to use it as a backend for these non-Gaussian simulations.
Any information you could share on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the additional context @K-K !
Currently, there is no plugin available for non-Gaussian simulations. I’m unable to comment on the product roadmap or potential future integrations, so I don’t have further details to share on that front.
That being said, both PennyLane and MrMustard are open-source (Apache 2.0), so you’re welcome to use them individually or even develop a custom plugin if you’re interested!
I wish I could provide more specific guidance, but I hope this helps!
