FakeBackend5QV2

class qiskit.providers.fake_provider.FakeBackend5QV2(bidirectional=True)

GitHub

Bases: BackendV2

A mock backend that doesn’t implement run() to test compatibility with Terra internals.

Initialize a BackendV2 based backend

Parameters

  • provider – An optional backwards reference to the Provider object that the backend is from
  • name – An optional name for the backend
  • description – An optional description of the backend
  • online_date – An optional datetime the backend was brought online
  • backend_version – An optional backend version string. This differs from the version attribute as version is for the abstract Backend abstract interface version of the object while backend_version is for versioning the backend itself.
  • fields – kwargs for the values to use to override the default options.

Raises

AttributeError – If a field is specified that’s outside the backend’s options


Attributes

coupling_map

Return the CouplingMap object

dt

Return the system time resolution of input signals

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Returns

The input signal timestep in seconds. If the backend doesn’t define dt, None will be returned.

dtm

Return the system time resolution of output signals

Returns

The output signal timestep in seconds.

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the output signal timestep

instruction_durations

Return the InstructionDurations object.

instruction_schedule_map

Return the InstructionScheduleMap for the instructions defined in this backend’s target.

instructions

A list of Instruction tuples on the backend of the form (instruction, (qubits)

max_circuits

meas_map

Return the grouping of measurements which are multiplexed

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Returns

The grouping of measurements which are multiplexed

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

num_qubits

Return the number of qubits the backend has.

operation_names

A list of instruction names that the backend supports.

operations

A list of Instruction instances that the backend supports.

options

Return the options for the backend

The options of a backend are the dynamic parameters defining how the backend is used. These are used to control the run() method.

provider

Return the backend Provider.

Returns

the Provider responsible for the backend.

Return type

Provider

target

version

Default value: 2

name

Name of the backend.

description

Optional human-readable description.

online_date

Date that the backend came online.

backend_version

Version of the backend being provided. This is not the same as BackendV2.version, which is the version of the Backend abstract interface.


Methods

acquire_channel

acquire_channel(qubit)

Return the acquisition channel for the given qubit.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Returns

The Qubit measurement acquisition line.

Return type

AcquireChannel

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

control_channel

control_channel(qubits)

Return the secondary drive channel for the given qubit

This is typically utilized for controlling multiqubit interactions. This channel is derived from other channels.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Parameters

qubits (Iterable[int]) – Tuple or list of qubits of the form (control_qubit, target_qubit).

Returns

The multi qubit control line.

Return type

List[ControlChannel]

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

drive_channel

drive_channel(qubit)

Return the drive channel for the given qubit.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Returns

The Qubit drive channel

Return type

DriveChannel

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

measure_channel

measure_channel(qubit)

Return the measure stimulus channel for the given qubit.

This is required to be implemented if the backend supports Pulse scheduling.

Returns

The Qubit measurement stimulus line

Return type

MeasureChannel

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the measurement mapping

qubit_properties

qubit_properties(qubit)

Return QubitProperties for a given qubit.

If there are no defined or the backend doesn’t support querying these details this method does not need to be implemented.

Parameters

qubit (int |List[int]) – The qubit to get the QubitProperties object for. This can be a single integer for 1 qubit or a list of qubits and a list of QubitProperties objects will be returned in the same order

Returns

The QubitProperties object for the specified qubit. If a list of qubits is provided a list will be returned. If properties are missing for a qubit this can be None.

Raises

NotImplementedError – if the backend doesn’t support querying the qubit properties

Return type

QubitProperties | List[QubitProperties]

run

run(run_input, **options)

Run on the backend.

This method returns a Job object that runs circuits. Depending on the backend this may be either an async or sync call. It is at the discretion of the provider to decide whether running should block until the execution is finished or not: the Job class can handle either situation.

Parameters

  • run_input (QuantumCircuit orSchedule orScheduleBlock orlist) – An individual or a list of QuantumCircuit, ScheduleBlock, or Schedule objects to run on the backend.
  • 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
