qat.interop.qiskit.BackendToQPU

class qat.interop.qiskit.BackendToQPU(backend=None, plugins=None, token=None, ibm_backend='ibm_brisbane', optimization_level=0)

Wrapper around any Qiskit simulator or quantum chip connection. Despite the asynchronous nature of Qiskit’s backends, this class defines a synchronous QPU. If you need an asynchronous QPU, please use AsyncBackendToQPU.

This QPU can be instantiated using:

• A Qiskit backend: use the keyword argument backen

• An IBM token and the name of the backend: please use the keyword arguments token and ibm_backend (default backend is "ibm_brisbane")

• No argument: the "aer_simulator" is used if no argument is specified

Parameters:

• backend – The Backend Qiskit object that is supposed to execute the circuit.

• plugins (list) – Linked plugins.

• token (str) – Qiskit IBM login token. If not supplied, it is loaded from the environment variable QISKIT_TOKEN.

• ibm_backend (str, optional) – Name of the backend. Default to ‘ibm_brisbane’

• optimization_level (int, optional) –

  Optimization level applied to the circuit.

  • 0: No optimization (default),

  • 1: Light optimization,

  • 2: Heavy optimization,

  • 3: Highest optimization.

submit(batch: Batch, meta_data: dict = None) → BatchResult

Executes a batch of jobs and returns the corresponding list of Results.

Parameters:

batch (Batch) – A batch of jobs. If a single job is provided, the job is embedded into a Batch, executed, and the first result is returned.

Returns:

A batch result.

Return type:

BatchResult
