Hello @hoannguyen! Welcome to the forum! :slight_smile:

Would mind sending me a minimal version of the code so I can reproduce the error?

Yes, of course.

I got an error while using rigetti Simulator. I have already installed the lastest version of pennylane-forest)and checked It exist. There is my code “dev_rigetti=qml.device(“forest.qvm”,device=‘2q-qvm’,wires=num_qubits, noise=True)”

Hello!

So, first thing, I would like to suggest this video. It is going to help you to send the exact amount of information we need to better evaluate the problems in your code and answer your questions! :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, this is not sufficient to understand what is going on. I would like to ask you again to send a minimal, self-contained version of your code and the error/output you getting.

However, if you are facing some doubts about the PennyLane-Rigetti Plugin, I strongly suggest checking the documentation page. It has the installation instructions and more details about the qvm device.

Note that, according to the documentation, the name of the device is rigetti.qvm.

Does it help? :slight_smile:

Thank you. After your suggestion, I read the document and fixed that by downloading forest SDK and and changing the device forest.qvm to rigetti.qvm.
