Thank you for contributing this Demo @maxwell04-wq! It will not count for unitaryHACK officially since it's outside the main pennylane repo but I will contact you to your email to get your shipping details for a swag pack directly from Xanadu!
I will let you know when the demo is up on our site. Congratulations on this contribution!
Hi @maxwell04-wq, I wanted to let you know that your demo is now on the PennyLane website! Congratulations! You can see it here.
