At FOSDEM I saw a presentation on PennyLane

> **[Training quantum neural networks with PennyLane, PyTorch, and TensorFlow](https://medium.com/xanaduai/training-quantum-neural-networks-with-pennylane-pytorch-and-tensorflow-c669108118cc)**
>
> Quantum machine learning in the NISQ era and beyond

> **[FOSDEM 2020 - Quantum machine learning with PennyLane](https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/quantum_machine_learning_with_pennylane/)**

OK, so its Python but it is functionally oriented and they use differentiable circuits.  
I had a quick chat with the presenter and he agreed there is commonality with Julia there.  
Sorry if I do not have the exact technical terms, but there did seem to be some synthesis there and maybe someone in this field from the Julia side could have a look at it.

I wish pennylane was written in Julia or somebody could port it to Julialang.

I also read somewhere pennylane is an early adopter of MLIR.
