qib.backend.quantum_processor.QuantumProcessor

class qib.backend.quantum_processor.QuantumProcessor

Bases: ABC

Parent class for quantum processor (a.k.a. backend).

A quantum processor is a device that can execute quantum circuits, be it a quantum computer, a simulator, or a different type of quantum backend.

Methods

configuration	The configuration of the quantum processor.
submit_experiment	Submit a quantum circuit and experiment execution options to a quantum processor backend, returning a validated "experiment" object to query the results.

abstract static configuration() → ProcessorConfiguration

The configuration of the quantum processor.

abstract submit_experiment(name: str, circ: Circuit, options: Options) → Experiment

Submit a quantum circuit and experiment execution options to a quantum processor backend, returning a validated “experiment” object to query the results.
