I want the decomposed circuit(with all gates). Please help with the code

Hi @VQX,

Thank you for your question.

You can learn about decompositions in the [Compiling circuits](https://docs.pennylane.ai/en/stable/introduction/compiling_circuits.html#custom-decompositions) section of the PennyLane docs. Here for instance you can see how BasicEntanglerLayers can be decomposed in different ways.

I hope this can help you.
