+
+    A device that interfaces with C++ to perform fast linear algebra calculations.
+
+    Use of this device requires pre-built binaries or compilation from source. Check out the
+    :doc:`/lightning_qubit/installation` guide for more details.
+
+    Args:
+        wires (int): the number of wires to initialize the device with
+        c_dtype: Datatypes for statevector representation. Must be one of
+            ``np.complex64`` or ``np.complex128``.
+        shots (int): How many times the circuit should be evaluated (or sampled) to estimate
+            the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
+            to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and
+            variances analytically.
+        seed (str, int, rng)
+        mcmc (bool): Determine whether to use the approximate Markov Chain Monte Carlo
+            sampling method when generating samples.
+        kernel_name (str): name of transition kernel. The current version supports
+            two kernels: ``"Local"`` and ``"NonZeroRandom"``.
+            The local kernel conducts a bit-flip local transition between states.
+            The local kernel generates a random qubit site and then generates a random
+            number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
+            randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
+        num_burnin (int): number of steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
+            result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
+        batch_obs (bool): Determine whether we process observables in parallel when
+            computing the jacobian. This value is only relevant when the lightning
+            qubit is built with OpenMP.

 ``CUDA-aware MPI`` allows data exchange between GPU memory spaces of different nodes without the need for CPU-mediated transfers.
 Both the ``MPICH`` and ``OpenMPI`` libraries are supported, provided they are compiled with CUDA support.
 The path to ``libmpi.so`` should be found in ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH``.

-
-    A device that interfaces with C++ to perform fast linear algebra calculations.
-
-    Use of this device requires pre-built binaries or compilation from source. Check out the
-    :doc:`/lightning_qubit/installation` guide for more details.
-
-    Args:
-        wires (int): the number of wires to initialize the device with
-        c_dtype: Datatypes for statevector representation. Must be one of
-            ``np.complex64`` or ``np.complex128``.
-        shots (int): How many times the circuit should be evaluated (or sampled) to estimate
-            the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
-            to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and
-            variances analytically.
-        seed (str, int, rng)
-        mcmc (bool): Determine whether to use the approximate Markov Chain Monte Carlo
-            sampling method when generating samples.
-        kernel_name (str): name of transition kernel. The current version supports
-            two kernels: ``"Local"`` and ``"NonZeroRandom"``.
-            The local kernel conducts a bit-flip local transition between states.
-            The local kernel generates a random qubit site and then generates a random
-            number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
-            randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
-        num_burnin (int): number of steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
-            result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
-        batch_obs (bool): Determine whether we process observables in parallel when
-            computing the jacobian. This value is only relevant when the lightning
-            qubit is built with OpenMP.

+
+    Args:
+        wires (int): the number of wires to initialize the device with
+        c_dtype: Datatypes for statevector representation. Must be one of
+            ``np.complex64`` or ``np.complex128``.
+        shots (int): How many times the circuit should be evaluated (or sampled) to estimate
+            the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
+            to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and
+            variances analytically.
+        seed (str, int, rng)
+        mcmc (bool): Determine whether to use the approximate Markov Chain Monte Carlo
+            sampling method when generating samples.
+        kernel_name (str): name of transition kernel. The current version supports
+            two kernels: ``"Local"`` and ``"NonZeroRandom"``.
+            The local kernel conducts a bit-flip local transition between states.
+            The local kernel generates a random qubit site and then generates a random
+            number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
+            randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
+        num_burnin (int): number of steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
+            result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
+        batch_obs (bool): Determine whether we process observables in parallel when
+            computing the jacobian. This value is only relevant when the lightning
+            qubit is built with OpenMP.

+

+        wires (int): the number of wires to initialize the device with
+        c_dtype: Datatypes for statevector representation. Must be one of

+        shots (int): How many times the circuit should be evaluated (or sampled) to estimate
+            the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
+            to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and
+            variances analytically.
+        seed (str, int, rng)
+        mcmc (bool): Determine whether to use the approximate Markov Chain Monte Carlo
+            sampling method when generating samples.
+        kernel_name (str): name of transition kernel. The current version supports
+            two kernels: ``"Local"`` and ``"NonZeroRandom"``.
+            The local kernel conducts a bit-flip local transition between states.
+            The local kernel generates a random qubit site and then generates a random
+            number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
+            randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
+        num_burnin (int): number of steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
+            result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
+        batch_obs (bool): Determine whether we process observables in parallel when
+            computing the jacobian. This value is only relevant when the lightning
+            qubit is built with OpenMP.

-
-    A device that interfaces with C++ to perform fast linear algebra calculations.
-
-    Use of this device requires pre-built binaries or compilation from source. Check out the
-    :doc:`/lightning_qubit/installation` guide for more details.
-
-    Args:
-        wires (int): the number of wires to initialize the device with
-        c_dtype: Datatypes for statevector representation. Must be one of
-            ``np.complex64`` or ``np.complex128``.
-        shots (int): How many times the circuit should be evaluated (or sampled) to estimate
-            the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
-            to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and
-            variances analytically.
-        seed (str, int, rng)
-        mcmc (bool): Determine whether to use the approximate Markov Chain Monte Carlo
-            sampling method when generating samples.
-        kernel_name (str): name of transition kernel. The current version supports
-            two kernels: ``"Local"`` and ``"NonZeroRandom"``.
-            The local kernel conducts a bit-flip local transition between states.
-            The local kernel generates a random qubit site and then generates a random
-            number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
-            randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
-        num_burnin (int): number of steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
-            result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
-        batch_obs (bool): Determine whether we process observables in parallel when
-            computing the jacobian. This value is only relevant when the lightning
-            qubit is built with OpenMP.

-            the expectation values. Defaults to ``None`` if not specified. Setting
-            to ``None`` results in computing statistics like expectation values and

-            number to determine the new bit at that qubit site. The ``"NonZeroRandom"`` kernel
-            randomly transits between states that have nonzero probability.
-        num_burnin (int): number of MCMC steps that will be dropped. Increasing this value will
-            result in a closer approximation but increased runtime.
