PR was closed automatically as the dev branch was recreated. Re-opened the PR and now it targets master.
If the demo does use any post-v0.26.0 features from PennyLane, the target branch should be changed again to dev.
Looks good! Couple general comments:
- I know the applications for this module in PennyLane only reach QChem, but the placement of the demo (in QChem demos) seems off at first glance
- Should we be more explanatory when introducing terms like "one-electron integrals" or "first-quantized Hamiltonians"?
Thanks @isaacdevlugt.
I agree with your concern that this demo is about a general topic, resource estimation, but it is too qchem-specific in its current form. The reason is that the qml.resorce module supports very advanced qchem algorithms at the moment and we cannot really have a general demo. This also explains why the demo is technical in terms of qchem jargon. For these reasons, I prefer the demo to appear in Quantum Chemistry for now. This also gives the users a hint that they should expect a lot of qchem when they want to estimate quantum resources.
In the future, when we support more general algorithms in qml.resorce, we can expand the demo and bring the qchem part to a dedicated section.
I can provide more links to our demos and wiki pages for the qchem concepts. But explaining the concepts here, very likely, changes the focus of the demo.
Please let me know what you think.
Agreed! I like the idea of re-titling the demo. Maybe, "Resource estimation for quantum chemistry"? Or, we can put it into two demo categories as was stated in a different thread.
