PennyLane Plugins is one of 14 APIs that [Xanadu](https://apis.io/providers/xanadu-ai/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Plugins, Hardware, Devices, and Integration. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a GitHub repository.

The PennyLane plugin layer exposes a uniform `qml.device` interface across third-party quantum SDKs and QPU clouds — IBM Qiskit / IBM Quantum, AWS Braket, Google Cirq, Rigetti Forest, IonQ, AQT, Quantinuum (Honeywell), Microsoft QDK / Q#, Qulacs, ProjectQ, Zapata Orquestra, and Xanadu Strawberry Fields. Each plugin is a separate pip-installable Python package.
