+This new module in PennyLane—accessed under the `qml.labs` namespace—will house experimental research software 🔬. Features here may be useful
+for state-of-the art research, beta testing, or getting a sneak peek into *potential* new features before
 they are added to PennyLane.
 
 The experimental nature of this module means features may not integrate well with other 
 PennyLane staples like differentiability or jax-jit compatibility. There may also be unexpected
