Hi @RX1 ,
Strawberry Fields was designed specifically to run experiments on our old Gaussian Boson Sampling devices. It’s not being actively developed at the moment, so it’s normal that you’re seeing better results with PennyLane. If you’re interested in high-level simulations, PennyLane will be the best choice.
If you’re interested in specific continuous-variable simulations, then you can try using MrMustard. Check the API reference to learn how to use it. However, it may be tricky (or impossible) to integrate it with certain classical machine learning libraries such as PyTorch.
So unfortunately it doesn’t look like any one library will have the perfect solution and you’ll have to pick the one that best suits your specific project.
