Description

As for the same reasons stated on https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane-lightning/issues/1219#issue-3279889924

Would it be possible to remove the dependency on scipy-openblas32 or add a toggle option minimally (like it was done for lightning)?

Research direction

Start by reading the linked PennyLane Lightning issue and then locate the current scipy-openblas32 dependency and CMake configuration. Done means either removing that runtime dependency or providing a toggle for selecting a BLAS backend, with the supported build and runtime paths verified.
