Looks like you are trying to access array[2] where array is of length 2, so only array[0] and array[1] are accessible. I would suggest to copy the problem notebook and running it on an editable ipynb( like colab or jupyter), and try to see which step exactly is throwing the error.

Great analysis @sujay3sriv, and welcome to the forum!

@Hanah_Rahman, a good way to start is using Google Colab. Open a new notebook there and run the following at the beginning of your notebook (including the exclamation mark): !pip install pennylane

You can of course keep using the challenge editor, but if you’re having trouble with debugging then using a notebook can help.

Good luck with the challenge!
