Hello @Hamed_Gholipour, I ran your code with lightning.qubit in Colab and received 0.8515405859048367. Is there anything locally you could update to not receive the errors?

Thanks Kevin for your response. I will check it.

Kevin, it was solved. The problem was with my software.

I’m glad you could solve it @Hamed_Gholipour ! What was the issue in your software?

By the way, we have a very small survey for PennyLane v0.33, and it would be awesome if you’d give us some feedback and tell us about your needs. Thank you! :grin:

Dear Catalina, Many thanks for your follow-up. My issue was the Anaconda is not compatible with Phycharm or PennyLane. I don’t exactly know. But my solution is I just install Python 3.9 on my Mac and PhyCharm separately. And then install PennyLane on the Terminal of Phycharm. Fortunately, it works.:slight_smile:

Regarding the PennyLane survey, it is a great experience for persons working on Quantum to see what is going on in the real world. Thank you so much for creating it.

Thank you for describing the issue and the solution @Hamed_Gholipour !

Anaconda works for me with PennyLane so the issue may be related to something in your system or your local environment. Is there any additional information that you can share so that we can try to investigate this issue? Thanks!

And thank you for your kind words! We appreciate them a lot :smiley:.
