BackendConfiguration

class qiskit.providers.models.BackendConfiguration(*args, **kwargs)

GitHub

Bases: QasmBackendConfiguration

Backwards compatibility shim representing an abstract backend configuration.

Deprecated since version 1.2

The class qiskit.providers.models.backendconfiguration.BackendConfiguration is deprecated as of qiskit 1.2. It will be removed in the 2.0 release. The models in qiskit.providers.models are part of the deprecated BackendV1 workflow and no longer necessary for BackendV2. If a user workflow requires these representations it likely relies on deprecated functionality and should be updated to use BackendV2.


Attributes

num_qubits

Returns the number of qubits.

In future, n_qubits should be replaced in favor of num_qubits for consistent use throughout Qiskit. Until this is properly refactored, this property serves as intermediate solution.
