qiskit.providers.models.BackendProperties
class BackendProperties(backend_name, backend_version, last_update_date, qubits, gates, general, **kwargs)
Class representing backend properties
This holds backend properties measured by the provider. All properties which are provided optionally. These properties may describe qubits, gates, or other general propeties of the backend.
Initialize a BackendProperties instance.
Parameters
- backend_name (str) – Backend name.
- backend_version (str) – Backend version in the form X.Y.Z.
- last_update_date (datetime or str) – Last date/time that a property was updated. If specified as a
str, it must be in ISO format. - qubits (list) – System qubit parameters as a list of lists of
Nduvobjects - gates (list) – System gate parameters as a list of
Gateobjects - general (list) – General parameters as a list of
Nduvobjects - kwargs – optional additional fields
