Description
Issue description
The cuda_quantum device uses the old device API, and as such can't use the newer updates to validation, decomposition, and other tape preprocessing.
Additional information
When this is updated, the non_commuting_observables flag should be added to the TOML file according to the backend capabilities. See #821

Research direction
Locate the cuda_quantum device implementation and its TOML backend configuration, then compare their device API usage with the newer API and the guidance in issue #821. Verify the backend capabilities needed for non_commuting_observables and confirm that the device can use the newer validation, decomposition, and tape-preprocessing updates.
