After finishing I.11.1, I noticed that my answer is still wrong, from the plotter even though the codebook graded this as correct. Namely, I incorrectly used the qubits for the tensor product observable Z⊗Z.
dev = qml.device("default.qubit", wires=2)
@qml.qnode(dev)
def circuit_1(theta):
"""Implement the circuit and measure Z I and I Z.
Args:
theta (float): a rotation angle.

@qml.qnode(dev)

The coderbook should return “Incorrect” and comment that the second circuit is wrong.
