Two devices found in transfer learning example

PennyLane Help

Hi all,

Right now I am trying to use pennylane on a different machine with python3.9. Here are the specs:

Name: PennyLane
Version: 0.33.1
Summary: PennyLane is a Python quantum machine learning library by Xanadu Inc.
Home-page: https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane
Author: 
Author-email: 
License: Apache License 2.0
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages
Requires: appdirs, autograd, autoray, cachetools, networkx, numpy, pennylane-lightning, requests, rustworkx, scipy, semantic-version, toml, typing-extensions
Required-by: PennyLane-Lightning

Platform info:           Linux-5.4.0-166-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.31
Python version:          3.9.5
Numpy version:           1.26.1
Scipy version:           1.11.3
Installed devices:
- default.gaussian (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.mixed (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qubit (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qubit.autograd (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qubit.jax (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qubit.legacy (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qubit.tf (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qubit.torch (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- default.qutrit (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- null.qubit (PennyLane-0.33.1)
- lightning.qubit (PennyLane-Lightning-0.33.1)

To make sure that it was working properly, I tried running the transfer learning example from the demos: https://pennylane.ai/qml/demos/tutorial_quantum_transfer_learning/

When I run it, I get the following result:

Training started:

    raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: Expected all tensors to be on the same device, but found at least two devices, cuda:0, cpu!

Is this the result of a bug in latest release of pennylane, or could there by a problem with my installation in particular?

Hey @justin6626!

There have been a couple other posts about this same issue:

It looks like this issue might be due to the fact that putting torch tensors on a gpu is problematic when lightning-gpu is being used as well. Lightning-gpu and torch’s gpu pipeline are entirely differerent, and lightning-gpu expects the data to be on the host right now, so that should fix it!

Thanks for getting back to me so soon! I applied the solution from the second link that you attached, and it worked!
