StatevectorSimulatorPy.run

StatevectorSimulatorPy.run(qobj, backend_options=None)[source]

Run qobj asynchronously.

Parameters
  • qobj (Qobj) – payload of the experiment

  • backend_options (dict) – backend options

Returns

derived from BaseJob

Return type

BasicAerJob

Additional Information:

backend_options: Is a dict of options for the backend. It may contain
    * "initial_statevector": vector_like
    * "chop_threshold": double

The "initial_statevector" option specifies a custom initial
initial statevector for the simulator to be used instead of the all
zero state. This size of this vector must be correct for the number
of qubits in all experiments in the qobj.

The "chop_threshold" option specifies a truncation value for
setting small values to zero in the output statevector. The default
value is 1e-15.

Example::

    backend_options = {
        "initial_statevector": np.array([1, 0, 0, 1j]) / np.sqrt(2),
        "chop_threshold": 1e-15
    }
