Hi @ericoteixeira thanks for opening this PR. It looks like you have included your Python virtual environment. Could you please delete this from the PR?

In addition, do you have a notebook or python script for the VQE-LD demo?

Hi PennyLane team,

I would like to follow up on this PR kindly. The demo is based on our recent Journal of Computational Chemistry publication, and I would be happy to address any feedback or make any required modifications.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
