qiskit.aqua.QuantumInstance

class QuantumInstance(backend, shots=1024, seed_simulator=None, max_credits=10, basis_gates=None, coupling_map=None, initial_layout=None, pass_manager=None, seed_transpiler=None, optimization_level=None, backend_options=None, noise_model=None, timeout=None, wait=5.0, skip_qobj_validation=True, measurement_error_mitigation_cls=None, cals_matrix_refresh_period=30, measurement_error_mitigation_shots=None, job_callback=None)

Quantum Backend including execution setting.

Quantum Instance holds a Qiskit Terra backend as well as configuration for circuit transpilation and execution. When provided to an Aqua algorithm the algorithm will execute the circuits it needs to run using the instance.

Parâmetros

• backend (BaseBackend) – Instance of selected backend

• shots (int) – Number of repetitions of each circuit, for sampling

• seed_simulator (Optional[int]) – Random seed for simulators

• max_credits (int) – Maximum credits to use

• basis_gates (Optional[List[str]]) – List of basis gate names supported by the target. Defaults to basis gates of the backend.

• coupling_map (Union[CouplingMap, List[List], None]) – Coupling map (perhaps custom) to target in mapping

• initial_layout (Union[Layout, Dict, List, None]) – Initial layout of qubits in mapping

• pass_manager (Optional[PassManager]) – Pass manager to handle how to compile the circuits

• seed_transpiler (Optional[int]) – The random seed for circuit mapper

• optimization_level (Optional[int]) – How much optimization to perform on the circuits. Higher levels generate more optimized circuits, at the expense of longer transpilation time.

• backend_options (Optional[Dict]) – All running options for backend, please refer to the provider of the backend for information as to what options it supports.

• noise_model (Optional[NoiseModel]) – noise model for simulator

• timeout (Optional[float]) – Seconds to wait for job. If None, wait indefinitely.

• wait (float) – Seconds between queries for job result

• skip_qobj_validation (bool) – Bypass Qobj validation to decrease circuit processing time during submission to backend.

• measurement_error_mitigation_cls (Optional[Callable]) – The approach to mitigate measurement errors. Qiskit Ignis provides fitter classes for this functionality and CompleteMeasFitter from qiskit.ignis.mitigation.measurement module can be used here. (TensoredMeasFitter is not supported).

• cals_matrix_refresh_period (int) – How often to refresh the calibration matrix in measurement mitigation. in minutes

• measurement_error_mitigation_shots (Optional[int]) – The number of shots number for building calibration matrix. If None, the main shots parameter value is used.

• job_callback (Optional[Callable]) – Optional user supplied callback which can be used to monitor job progress as jobs are submitted for processing by an Aqua algorithm. The callback is provided the following arguments: job_id, job_status, queue_position, job

Levanta

• AquaError – the shots exceeds the maximum number of shots

• AquaError – set noise model but the backend does not support that

• AquaError – set backend_options but the backend does not support that
