BaseEstimator

class qiskit.primitives.BaseEstimator(*, options=None)

GitHub

Bases: BaseEstimatorV1[T]

DEPRECATED. Type alias for Estimator V1 base class.

See BaseEstimatorV1 for details.

Creating an instance of an Estimator, or using one in a with context opens a session that holds resources until the instance is close() ed or the context is exited.

Deprecated since version 1.2

The class qiskit.primitives.base.base_estimator.BaseEstimator is deprecated as of qiskit 1.2. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. The BaseEstimator class is a type alias for the BaseEstimatorV1 interface that has been deprecated in favor of explicitly versioned interface classes. It is recommended to migrate all implementations to use BaseEstimatorV2. However, for implementations incompatible with BaseEstimatorV2, BaseEstimator can be replaced with the explicitly versioned BaseEstimatorV1 class.

Parameters

options (dict | None) – Default options.


Attributes

options

Return options values for the estimator.

Returns

options


Methods

run

run(circuits, observables, parameter_values=None, **run_options)

GitHub

Run the job of the estimation of expectation value(s).

circuits, observables, and parameter_values should have the same length. The i-th element of the result is the expectation of observable

obs = observables[i]

for the state prepared by

circ = circuits[i]

with bound parameters

values = parameter_values[i]

Parameters

  • circuits (Sequence[QuantumCircuit] | QuantumCircuit) – one or more circuit objects.
  • observables (Sequence[BaseOperator | str] | BaseOperator | str) – one or more observable objects. Several formats are allowed; importantly, str should follow the string representation format for Pauli objects.
  • parameter_values (Sequence[Sequence[float]] | Sequence[float] | float | None) – concrete parameters to be bound.
  • run_options – runtime options used for circuit execution.

Returns

The job object of EstimatorResult.

Raises

Return type

T

set_options

set_options(**fields)

GitHub

Set options values for the estimator.

Parameters

**fields – The fields to update the options
