Update the data files from its real counterpart
This method pulls the latest backend data files from their real counterpart and overwrites the corresponding files in the local installation:
../fake_provider/backends/{backend_name}/conf_{backend_name}.json../fake_provider/backends/{backend_name}/defs_{backend_name}.json../fake_provider/backends/{backend_name}/props_{backend_name}.json
The new data files will persist through sessions so the files will stay updated unless they are manually reverted locally or when qiskit-ibm-runtime is upgraded or reinstalled.
Parameters
service (QiskitRuntimeService) – A QiskitRuntimeService instance
Raises
- ValueError – if the provided service is a non-QiskitRuntimeService instance.
- Exception – If the real target doesn’t exist or can’t be accessed
Return type

run
run(run_input, **options)
Run on the fake backend using a simulator.
This method runs circuit jobs (an individual or a list of QuantumCircuit) using BasicSimulator or Aer simulator and returns a Job object.
If qiskit-aer is installed, jobs will be run using AerSimulator with noise model of the fake backend. Otherwise, jobs will be run using BasicSimulator without noise.
Currently noisy simulation of a pulse job is not supported yet in FakeBackendV2.
Parameters
- run_input (QuantumCircuit or list) – An individual or a list of
QuantumCircuit - options – Any kwarg options to pass to the backend for running the config. If a key is also present in the options attribute/object then the expectation is that the value specified will be used instead of what’s set in the options object.
Returns
The job object for the run
Return type
Job
set_options
set_options(**fields)
Set the options fields for the backend
This method is used to update the options of a backend. If you need to change any of the options prior to running just pass in the kwarg with the new value for the options.
Parameters
fields – The fields to update the options
Raises
AttributeError – If the field passed in is not part of the options
