Quantum Device Error, Device qiskit does not exist. Make sure the required plugin is installed

Hi @shay, welcome to the Forum!

Note that the device you want to use is actually ‘qiskit.remote’ instead of just ‘qiskit’. This is why you’re getting the error.

If you’re using Google Colab you actually don’t need to install all of those packages.
All you need is !pip install pennylane-qiskit :smile:

On the other hand, I noticed that you’re using the development version of the plugin (as opposed to v0.39 which is the stable version). This should work well at the moment but if you run into issues in the future let us know.

Finally, as a personal recommendation, I’ve had better luck using ‘ibm_sherbrooke’ instead of ‘ibm_brisbane’ recently. So if your simulation is taking too long you may want to consider changing your backend.

I hope this helps!
