SimulatorOptions
class SimulatorOptions(*args, **kwargs)
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 – Noise model for the simulator. Default:
None. - seed_simulator – Random seed to control sampling. Default:
None. - coupling_map – 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]]. Default:None, which implies no connectivity constraints. - basis_gates – List of basis gate names to unroll to. For example,
['u1', 'u2', 'u3', 'cx']. Unrolling is not done if not set. Default: all basis gates supported by the simulator.

Methods
set_backend
set_backend(backend)
Set backend for simulation. This method changes noise_model, coupling_map, basis_gates according to given backend.
Parameters
backend (Union[BackendV1, BackendV2]) – backend to be set.
Raises
MissingOptionalLibraryError – if qiskit-aer is not found.
Return type
None
