SimulatorOptions
class SimulatorOptions(noise_model=None, seed_simulator=None, coupling_map=None, basis_gates=None)
Simulator options.
For best practice in simulating a backend make sure to pass the basis gates and coupling map of that backend.
Parameters
- noise_model (
Union[dict,NoiseModel,None]) – Noise model for the simulator. - seed_simulator (
Optional[int]) – Random seed to control sampling. - coupling_map (
Union[List[List[int]],CouplingMap,None]) – Directed coupling map to target in mapping. If the coupling map is symmetric, both directions need to be specified. Each entry in the list specifies a directed two-qubit interactions, e.g:[[0, 1], [0, 3], [1, 2], [1, 5], [2, 5], [4, 1], [5, 3]] - basis_gates (
Optional[List[str]]) – List of basis gate names to unroll to. For example,['u1', 'u2', 'u3', 'cx']. IfNone, do not unroll.

Methods
set_backend
set_backend(backend)
Set backend for simulation. This method changes noise_model, coupling_map, basis_gates according to given backend.
