Update qiskit requirements

Open trbromley opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Currently PennyLane-Qiskit relies on the full qiskit library in its requirements. Now that Qiskit is split into multiple sub-components, we can probably get away with just relying on certain components in PennyLane-Qiskit and lightening the requirements, similar for example to the mitiq requirements. As an example, do we need here to depend on qiskit-ignis?

I'm quite certain that you can drop the qiskit-ignis dependency, particularly as it is now deprecated.

In fact, the version of qiskit-ibm-runtime currently required by pennylane-qiskit is affected by a security vulnerability.
