 <h3>Bug fixes 🐛</h3>
 
+* `QNode` return behaviour is now consistent for lists and tuples.
+  [(#6568)](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane/pull/6568)
+
 * `qml.QNode` now accepts arguments with types defined in libraries that are not necessarily 
   in the list of supported interfaces, such as the `Graph` class defined in `networkx`.
