# SamplerOptions

*class* `SamplerOptions(*args, **kwargs)`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime/tree/stable/0.26/qiskit_ibm_runtime/options/sampler_options.py#L27-L55)

Options for V2 Sampler.

**Parameters**

- **default\_shots** – The default number of shots to use if none are specified in the PUBs or in the run method. Default: 4096.
- **dynamical\_decoupling** – Suboptions for dynamical decoupling. See [`DynamicalDecouplingOptions`](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/0.26/options-dynamical-decoupling-options "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.DynamicalDecouplingOptions") for all available options.
- **execution** – Execution time options. See [`SamplerExecutionOptionsV2`](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/0.26/options-sampler-execution-options-v2 "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.SamplerExecutionOptionsV2") for all available options.
- **twirling** – Pauli twirling options. See [`TwirlingOptions`](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/0.26/options-twirling-options "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.TwirlingOptions") for all available options.
- **experimental** – Experimental options.
