qiskit.providers.convert_to_target

qiskit.providers.convert_to_target(configuration, properties=None, defaults=None, custom_name_mapping=None, add_delay=True, filter_faulty=True)

Decode transpiler target from backend data set.

This function generates Target` instance from intermediate legacy objects such as BackendProperties and PulseDefaults. These objects are usually components of the legacy BackendV1 model.

Parameters

• configuration (BackendConfiguration) – Backend configuration as BackendConfiguration
• properties (BackendProperties | None) – Backend property dictionary or BackendProperties
• defaults (PulseDefaults | None) – Backend pulse defaults dictionary or PulseDefaults
• custom_name_mapping (Dict[str, Any] | None) – A name mapping must be supplied for the operation not included in Qiskit Standard Gate name mapping, otherwise the operation will be dropped in the resulting Target object.
• add_delay (bool) – If True, adds delay to the instruction set.
• filter_faulty (bool) – If True, this filters the non-operational qubits.

Returns

A Target instance.
