SimulatorOptions

class SimulatorOptions(*args, **kwargs)

Simulator options.

For best practice in simulating a backend make sure to pass the basis gates and coupling map of that backend.

Parameters

• noise_model – Noise model for the simulator. Default: None.
• seed_simulator – Random seed to control sampling. Default: None.
• coupling_map – Directed coupling map to target in mapping. If the coupling map is symmetric, both directions need to be specified. Each entry in the list specifies a directed two-qubit interactions, e.g: [[0, 1], [0, 3], [1, 2], [1, 5], [2, 5], [4, 1], [5, 3]]. Default: None, which implies no connectivity constraints.
• basis_gates – List of basis gate names to unroll to. For example, ['u1', 'u2', 'u3', 'cx']. Unrolling is not done if not set. Default: all basis gates supported by the simulator.
