Qiskit

Use current Qiskit 2.x APIs to build circuits, prepare hardware-compatible instruction set architecture (ISA) circuits, and execute them through V2 primitives.

This skill was verified on 2026-07-23 against the PyPI releases qiskit==2.5.0, qiskit-ibm-runtime==0.48.0, and qiskit-aer==0.17.2. Check references/sources.md before changing pins or documenting newly released behavior.

Choose the Right Path

Goal	Recommended interface
Exact local sampling	qiskit.primitives.StatevectorSampler
Exact local expectation values	qiskit.primitives.StatevectorEstimator
High-performance or noisy simulation	Qiskit Aer
IBM QPU sampling	qiskit_ibm_runtime.SamplerV2
IBM QPU expectation values and mitigation	qiskit_ibm_runtime.EstimatorV2
Backend without native primitives	BackendSamplerV2 or BackendEstimatorV2
Open-system or master-equation dynamics	Prefer QuTiP
Differentiable quantum machine learning	Prefer PennyLane unless Qiskit integration is required

Installation

Create an isolated environment and install only the components needed:

uv venv --python 3.13
source .venv/bin/activate

# Core SDK plus plotting support
uv pip install "qiskit[visualization]==2.5.0"

# Add only when needed
uv pip install "qiskit-ibm-runtime==0.48.0"
uv pip install "qiskit-aer==0.17.2"

Do not install qiskit-terra; it was superseded by the qiskit distribution. Qiskit Runtime, Aer, Nature, Machine Learning, Optimization, and Algorithms are separate distributions.

For IBM account setup, CI-safe credential handling, optional packages, and environment repair, read references/setup.md.

Core Workflow

Follow this sequence for every hardware-oriented workload:

1. Map the problem to a circuit and, for Estimator, one or more observables.
2. Optimize the parameterized circuit once for the selected backend.
3. Apply the layout to every observable.
4. Execute ISA circuits through a V2 primitive using Primitive Unified Blocs (PUBs).
5. Analyze register-aware results, metadata, uncertainty, and resource usage.

Do not bind and retranspile a parameterized circuit inside every optimizer iteration. Transpile the parameterized circuit once, then pass parameter arrays in PUBs.

Quick Local Sampling

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler

circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.measure_all()  # creates the classical register named "meas"

sampler = StatevectorSampler(seed=7)
pub_result = sampler.run([circuit], shots=1024).result()[0]
counts = pub_result.data.meas.get_counts()
print(counts)

Sampler V2 preserves shots and classical-register structure. Access the register by its actual name; measure_all() uses meas.

Quick Local Estimation

import numpy as np
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit import Parameter
from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorEstimator
from qiskit.quantum_info import SparsePauliOp

theta = Parameter("theta")
circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.ry(theta, 0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)

observable = SparsePauliOp.from_list([("ZZ", 1.0), ("XX", 0.5)])
parameter_values = [[0.0], [np.pi / 4], [np.pi / 2]]

estimator = StatevectorEstimator(seed=7)
pub = (circuit, observable, parameter_values)
pub_result = estimator.run([pub]).result()[0]
print(pub_result.data.evs)

Estimator circuits should not contain final measurements. PUB arrays broadcast; verify circuit parameter order before constructing large sweeps.

IBM QPU Sampling

This example assumes credentials were saved securely as described in references/setup.md. It never embeds or prints an API key.

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.transpiler import generate_preset_pass_manager
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService, SamplerV2 as Sampler

service = QiskitRuntimeService()
backend = service.least_busy(
    operational=True,
    simulator=False,
    min_num_qubits=2,
)

circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.measure_all()

pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
    backend=backend,
    optimization_level=1,
    seed_transpiler=7,
)
isa_circuit = pass_manager.run(circuit)

sampler = Sampler(mode=backend)
job = sampler.run([isa_circuit], shots=1024)
print("job_id:", job.job_id())
counts = job.result()[0].data.meas.get_counts()

Save the job ID before waiting for results so the job can be retrieved later.

IBM QPU Estimation

Runtime Estimator requires both an ISA circuit and observables mapped through the transpiler layout:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.quantum_info import SparsePauliOp
from qiskit.transpiler import generate_preset_pass_manager
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import EstimatorV2 as Estimator

circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
observable = SparsePauliOp.from_list([("ZZ", 1.0)])

pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
    backend=backend,
    optimization_level=1,
    seed_transpiler=7,
)
isa_circuit = pass_manager.run(circuit)
isa_observable = observable.apply_layout(isa_circuit.layout)

estimator = Estimator(
    mode=backend,
    options={"resilience_level": 1},
)
pub_result = estimator.run(
    [(isa_circuit, isa_observable)],
    precision=0.02,
).result()[0]
print(pub_result.data.evs, pub_result.data.stds)

Error mitigation is not guaranteed to improve every workload and increases cost. Record the complete options and result metadata.

Non-Negotiable Qiskit 2.x Rules

• Use V2 primitive interfaces and PUB inputs. Do not write new V1 Sampler, Estimator, or QuantumInstance code.
• Runtime primitives accept ISA circuits; they do not perform layout, routing, and basis translation for you.
• Apply the transpiler layout to Estimator observables with observable.apply_layout(isa_circuit.layout).
• Use mode=backend, mode=session, or mode=batch for Runtime primitives.
• Use EstimatorV2 for resilience levels and expectation-value mitigation. Sampler has different noise-management options and no Estimator-style resilience levels.
• Treat BackendV2.target, backend.operation_names, backend.coupling_map, and direct backend attributes as the source of hardware constraints. Do not use backend.configuration() or BackendProperties.
• Read Sampler output by classical register name. Bitstrings are displayed most-significant bit first; Qiskit qubit 0 is conventionally the least-significant bit.
• Use a fixed seed_transpiler when comparing compilation settings. A simulator seed does not make QPU results deterministic.
• qiskit.pulse was removed in Qiskit 2.0. Use supported fractional gates for IBM hardware or Qiskit Dynamics for pulse-model research.
• QPY is the Qiskit-native circuit serialization format. Do not use Python pickle for untrusted circuit artifacts.

See references/migration.md for a detailed old-to-current API map.

Execution Modes

Choose based on workload shape and account plan:

• Job mode: one-off work; instantiate a primitive with mode=backend.
• Batch mode: independent jobs submitted together; available on the Open Plan.
• Session mode: iterative jobs that benefit from prioritized follow-on execution; unavailable on the Open Plan.

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import Batch, SamplerV2 as Sampler

with Batch(backend=backend, max_time="10m") as batch:
    sampler = Sampler(mode=batch)
    jobs = [sampler.run([circuit], shots=1024) for circuit in isa_circuits]

results = [job.result() for job in jobs]

Close sessions and batches after submission. Exiting their context stops new submissions but allows accepted jobs to finish, subject to service limits.

python scripts/run_local_primitives.py --shots 1024 --seed 7

# Read-only IBM backend capability inspection; uses saved credentials
python scripts/inspect_runtime.py --min-qubits 5

The Runtime inspection script selects or inspects a backend but never submits a quantum job.

Final Checklist

Before returning Qiskit code:

1. Confirm package versions and Python compatibility.
2. Run locally with statevector primitives or Aer.
3. Verify parameter order, observable qubit count, and classical-register names.
4. Transpile against the exact BackendV2 target and inspect depth and two-qubit operations.
5. Apply the final layout to every observable.
6. Estimate QPU cost and choose job, batch, or session mode.
7. Save job IDs, package versions, seeds, backend name, primitive options, and result metadata.
8. Never expose API keys in source, logs, notebooks, or version control.

Install exact pins together in a fresh environment:

uv pip install \
  "qiskit==2.5.0" \
  "qiskit-algorithms==0.4.0" \
  "qiskit-optimization==0.7.0"

For chemistry:

uv pip install \
  "qiskit==2.5.0" \
  "qiskit-algorithms==0.4.0" \
  "qiskit-nature==0.8.0" \
  "qiskit-nature-pyscf==0.4.0"

Resolve application packages together; their Qiskit compatibility windows can differ.

Decide Between Manual and Library Implementations

Use a manual circuit when:

• teaching or inspecting a small algorithm,
• testing a new circuit construction,
• controlling every primitive PUB and compilation step,
• avoiding an application package dependency.

Use an application package when:

• it provides tested problem transformations,
• the result object and domain post-processing are valuable,
• the implementation accepts current V2 primitives,
• its release supports the installed Qiskit version.

Do not copy a pre-1.0 algorithm tutorial without checking constructors and primitive requirements.

VQE with Qiskit Algorithms 0.4

This verified local example uses the V2 StatevectorEstimator:

from qiskit.circuit.library import efficient_su2
from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorEstimator
from qiskit.quantum_info import SparsePauliOp
from qiskit_algorithms import VQE
from qiskit_algorithms.optimizers import SLSQP

hamiltonian = SparsePauliOp.from_list(
    [
        ("ZI", 1.0),
        ("IZ", 1.0),
        ("XX", 0.2),
    ]
)
ansatz = efficient_su2(
    num_qubits=2,
    reps=1,
    entanglement="linear",
)

vqe = VQE(
    estimator=StatevectorEstimator(),
    ansatz=ansatz,
    optimizer=SLSQP(maxiter=100),
    initial_point=[0.0] * ansatz.num_parameters,
)
result = vqe.compute_minimum_eigenvalue(hamiltonian)
print(float(result.eigenvalue.real))

For hardware:

1. Use a Runtime EstimatorV2.
2. Provide a transpiler adapter or manage the parameterized ISA circuit explicitly.
3. Bound optimizer iterations and requested precision.
4. Store each job ID and convergence record.

Do not transpile a newly bound circuit from scratch in every cost-function call.

QAOA and Qiskit Optimization

Model a binary problem with QuadraticProgram:

from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler
from qiskit_algorithms import QAOA
from qiskit_algorithms.optimizers import COBYLA
from qiskit_optimization import QuadraticProgram
from qiskit_optimization.algorithms import MinimumEigenOptimizer

problem = QuadraticProgram("binary_demo")
problem.binary_var("x")
problem.binary_var("y")
problem.maximize(
    linear={"x": 1, "y": 1},
    quadratic={("x", "y"): -2},
)

qaoa = QAOA(
    sampler=StatevectorSampler(seed=5),
    optimizer=COBYLA(maxiter=100),
    reps=1,
)
solver = MinimumEigenOptimizer(qaoa)
result = solver.solve(problem)

print(result.x, result.fval, result.status)

Use optimizer objects such as COBYLA(...), not old string-valued optimizer arguments.

Before claiming a quantum result:

• compare with a classical solver for small instances,
• verify variable-to-bitstring ordering,
• report feasibility and objective value,
• separate optimizer stochasticity from quantum sampling,
• quantify total circuit evaluations and shot cost.

Grover and Phase Estimation

Qiskit Algorithms 0.4 constructors accept V2 Sampler implementations:

from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler
from qiskit_algorithms import Grover, PhaseEstimation

sampler = StatevectorSampler(seed=5)
grover = Grover(sampler=sampler)
phase_estimation = PhaseEstimation(
    num_evaluation_qubits=4,
    sampler=sampler,
)

The old quantum_instance= argument is not current.

Use QFTGate in custom phase-estimation circuits:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit.library import QFTGate

inverse_qft = QFTGate(4).inverse()
circuit = QuantumCircuit(4)
circuit.append(inverse_qft, range(4))

The QFT blueprint class is deprecated and scheduled for removal in Qiskit 3.0.

Qiskit Nature

Qiskit Nature converts domain problems into second-quantized operators and qubit operators.

from qiskit_nature.second_q.drivers import PySCFDriver
from qiskit_nature.second_q.mappers import JordanWignerMapper

driver = PySCFDriver(
    atom="H 0 0 0; H 0 0 0.735",
    basis="sto3g",
    charge=0,
    spin=0,
)
problem = driver.run()

fermionic_hamiltonian = problem.hamiltonian.second_q_op()
mapper = JordanWignerMapper()
qubit_hamiltonian = mapper.map(fermionic_hamiltonian)

print(problem.num_spatial_orbitals)
print(problem.num_particles)
print(qubit_hamiltonian.num_qubits)

The PySCF calculation is classical preprocessing. Record:

• geometry and units,
• basis set,
• charge and spin,
• active-space or freeze-core choices,
• mapper and symmetry reductions,
• nuclear repulsion energy,
• package versions.

Do not add the nuclear repulsion term twice. Prefer Qiskit Nature's result interpreters for complete energy reporting.

QubitConverter is obsolete; use mapper classes directly.

Qiskit Machine Learning 0.9

Qiskit Machine Learning includes quantum kernels, quantum neural networks, trainable models, and PyTorch integration.

This verified kernel example uses APIs moved into the Machine Learning package:

import numpy as np
from qiskit.circuit.library import zz_feature_map
from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler
from qiskit_machine_learning.kernels import FidelityQuantumKernel
from qiskit_machine_learning.state_fidelities import ComputeUncompute

feature_map = zz_feature_map(
    feature_dimension=2,
    reps=1,
    entanglement="full",
)
sampler = StatevectorSampler(seed=5)
fidelity = ComputeUncompute(sampler=sampler)
kernel = FidelityQuantumKernel(
    fidelity=fidelity,
    feature_map=feature_map,
)

x = np.array([[0.1, 0.2], [0.3, 0.4]])
kernel_matrix = kernel.evaluate(x)

Since Qiskit Machine Learning 0.8, relevant gradients, optimizers, state fidelities, and utilities moved from qiskit_algorithms into qiskit_machine_learning. Check its migration guide before adapting old imports.

For evaluation:

• use a held-out test set,
• compare against matched classical kernels/models,
• avoid generating labels randomly in demonstration code presented as evidence,
• account for kernel-matrix (O(n^2)) evaluations,
• separate simulation results from hardware results.

Qiskit Addons

Addons are modular algorithm-building components aligned with stages of the Qiskit workflow.

Addon	Typical stage	Use
Circuit cutting	Optimize / execute / reconstruct	Split large circuits or observables and reconstruct estimates
Operator backpropagation (OBP)	Optimize	Move selected circuit operations into observables
Multi-product formulas (MPF)	Map / optimize	Approximate time evolution using formula combinations
AQC-Tensor	Map / optimize	Approximate target circuits with tensor-network-assisted compilation
Sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD)	Analyze	Combine QPU samples with classical subspace diagonalization

Example installation:

uv pip install "qiskit-addon-cutting==0.10.0"
uv pip install "qiskit-addon-sqd==0.12.1"
uv pip install "qiskit-addon-obp==0.3.0"
uv pip install "qiskit-addon-mpf==0.3.0"
uv pip install "qiskit-addon-aqc-tensor==0.3.1"

Each addon has independent release notes and assumptions. Read its tutorial and validate against a classically tractable instance.

Direct Quantum-Information Tools

Many tasks do not need a high-level algorithm package:

from qiskit.quantum_info import DensityMatrix, Operator, Statevector

state = Statevector.from_instruction(circuit)
operator = Operator(circuit)
density_matrix = DensityMatrix(state)

Use qiskit.quantum_info for:

• ideal state/operator analysis,
• fidelity and distance metrics,
• partial traces and entropies,
• Pauli and Clifford algebra,
• channel representations,
• small-system validation.

Dense state and operator memory grows exponentially; check dimensions before constructing them.

Algorithm Review Checklist

1. Is the cited speedup asymptotic, heuristic, or empirically demonstrated?
2. Does state preparation or readout dominate the claimed advantage?
3. Is the instance classically verifiable at the tested size?
4. Are package and primitive versions compatible?
5. Does the implementation use V2 primitives?
6. Is the parameterized circuit compiled once for the selected target?
7. Are observable layouts and bit order handled correctly?
8. Are optimizer evaluations, precision, shots, mitigation, and total QPU usage reported?
9. Is every result labeled as ideal simulation, noisy simulation, or hardware?
10. Are classical baselines and uncertainty included?

references/backends.md (verbatim)

Backends, Runtime Modes, Simulation, and Noise Management

BackendV2

Qiskit 2.x providers expose hardware and simulators through BackendV2. Important public attributes include:

print(backend.name)
print(backend.num_qubits)
print(backend.operation_names)
print(backend.coupling_map)
print(backend.target)
print(backend.status())

The Target describes operation support, qubit operands, connectivity, and available timing/error metadata.

Do not use backend.configuration(), BackendProperties, or other BackendV1 patterns in new code.

Connect to IBM Quantum

Use a securely saved account:

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService

service = QiskitRuntimeService()

New account configurations use channel="ibm_quantum_platform". See setup.md for secure credential setup. Never embed or print an API key.

Discover Backends

Select by requirements, not by a system name copied from a tutorial:

backends = service.backends(
    operational=True,
    simulator=False,
    min_num_qubits=20,
)

for candidate in backends:
    status = candidate.status()
    print(
        candidate.name,
        candidate.num_qubits,
        status.pending_jobs,
    )

For exploratory work:

backend = service.least_busy(
    operational=True,
    simulator=False,
    min_num_qubits=20,
)

Least busy is not necessarily best. For a production experiment, compare:

• required qubit count,
• connectivity and native two-qubit operations,
• calibration quality on candidate subgraphs,
• control-flow or fractional-gate requirements,
• plan and region,
• queue and expected execution time.

The bundled read-only inspector summarizes one selected backend:

python scripts/inspect_runtime.py --min-qubits 20
python scripts/inspect_runtime.py --backend BACKEND_NAME --json

Inspect Target Capabilities

target = backend.target

print("operations:", sorted(backend.operation_names))
print("supports if_else:", "if_else" in backend.operation_names)
print("supports reset:", "reset" in backend.operation_names)
print("coupling edges:", list(backend.coupling_map.get_edges()))

Operation support can vary by qubit tuple. A name appearing in operation_names does not imply every qubit or pair supports it.

Prepare ISA Circuits

from qiskit.transpiler import generate_preset_pass_manager

pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
    backend=backend,
    optimization_level=1,
    seed_transpiler=23,
)
isa_circuit = pass_manager.run(circuit)

For Estimator:

isa_observable = observable.apply_layout(isa_circuit.layout)

Runtime V2 primitives do not perform this conversion automatically.

Job Mode

Use job mode for independent one-off primitive calls:

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import SamplerV2 as Sampler

sampler = Sampler(mode=backend)
job = sampler.run([isa_circuit], shots=1024)

job_id = job.job_id()
print("job_id:", job_id)
result = job.result()

Persist the ID before blocking. Retrieve later:

service = QiskitRuntimeService()
job = service.job(job_id)
print(job.status())
result = job.result()

Cancel only if the experiment should no longer consume allocation:

job.cancel()

Batch Mode

Batch mode is for independent jobs that can be submitted together. It is available to Open Plan users.

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import Batch, SamplerV2 as Sampler

with Batch(backend=backend, max_time="10m") as batch:
    sampler = Sampler(mode=batch)
    jobs = [
        sampler.run([isa_circuit], shots=1024)
        for isa_circuit in isa_circuits
    ]

# The batch accepts no new jobs; submitted jobs can still finish.
results = [job.result() for job in jobs]

Batch jobs are scheduled as a group, but do not assume an application-level result order beyond the job list you preserve.

Session Mode

Session mode is for iterative workloads such as VQE parameter updates:

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import EstimatorV2 as Estimator, Session

with Session(backend=backend, max_time="20m") as session:
    estimator = Estimator(mode=session)
    jobs = [
        estimator.run([pub], precision=0.03)
        for pub in iterative_pubs
    ]

Open Plan users cannot submit session jobs; use job or batch mode. Sessions have maximum and interactive time-to-live limits. Close them as soon as submission is complete.

Creating Estimator(mode=backend) inside a session context still selects job mode. Use mode=session.

Exact Local Primitives

For small ideal circuits:

from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorEstimator, StatevectorSampler

sampler = StatevectorSampler(seed=23)
estimator = StatevectorEstimator(seed=23)

These implementations use local statevector simulation and do not model backend noise.

Memory for a dense statevector grows as (2^n). Use an algorithm-appropriate Aer method or tensor-network tooling for larger circuits.

Aer Simulation

Install the pinned Aer distribution:

uv pip install "qiskit-aer==0.17.2"

Create an ideal Aer backend:

from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator

aer = AerSimulator(method="automatic")

Run through Runtime's local-testing primitive interface:

from qiskit.transpiler import generate_preset_pass_manager
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import SamplerV2 as Sampler

pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
    backend=aer,
    optimization_level=1,
    seed_transpiler=23,
)
isa_circuit = pass_manager.run(circuit)

sampler = Sampler(
    mode=aer,
    options={"simulator": {"seed_simulator": 23}},
)
result = sampler.run([isa_circuit], shots=1024).result()

Most Runtime options other than shots and simulator settings are ignored in local testing. Do not infer that mitigation was simulated merely because an options object accepted the field.

Approximate a Real Backend in Aer

from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator

noisy_aer = AerSimulator.from_backend(backend)
pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
    backend=noisy_aer,
    optimization_level=1,
    seed_transpiler=23,
)
noisy_isa = pass_manager.run(circuit)

sampler = Sampler(
    mode=noisy_aer,
    options={"simulator": {"seed_simulator": 23}},
)
result = sampler.run([noisy_isa], shots=4096).result()

This captures a subset of backend properties at model-construction time. It does not reproduce drift, all crosstalk, or every Runtime service behavior.

Fake Backends

Fake backends provide a local BackendV2 target and calibration-like snapshot:

from qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider import FakeSherbrooke

fake_backend = FakeSherbrooke()

Use them to test target-aware transpilation and Runtime local mode. Fake-backend class names can change; inspect the installed qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider module before selecting one.

Estimator Noise Management

Runtime Estimator exposes increasing levels of built-in mitigation:

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import EstimatorV2 as Estimator

estimator = Estimator(
    mode=backend,
    options={"resilience_level": 1},
)

Current supported resilience levels:

• 0: disable built-in resilience.
• 1: measurement mitigation.
• 2: measurement mitigation plus additional techniques such as ZNE, according to current defaults.

There is no resilience level 3 in the current V2 API.

Configure explicit techniques when the experiment requires control:

estimator = Estimator(mode=backend)
estimator.options.dynamical_decoupling.enable = True
estimator.options.dynamical_decoupling.sequence_type = "XpXm"

estimator.options.twirling.enable_gates = True
estimator.options.twirling.num_randomizations = 32
estimator.options.twirling.shots_per_randomization = 100

estimator.options.resilience.zne_mitigation = True
estimator.options.resilience.zne.noise_factors = (1, 3, 5)
estimator.options.resilience.zne.extrapolator = "exponential"

Mitigation adds bias assumptions, circuit variants, shots, classical processing, and cost. It is not guaranteed to improve an observable.

Sampler Noise Management

Sampler returns sampled classical data and does not use Estimator resilience levels:

sampler = Sampler(mode=backend)
sampler.options.dynamical_decoupling.enable = True
sampler.options.dynamical_decoupling.sequence_type = "XpXm"
sampler.options.twirling.enable_gates = True

Measurement and gate-twirling defaults differ between Sampler and Estimator and can change. Record the resolved options for every experiment.

Feature Compatibility

Some combinations are restricted. Current examples include incompatibilities among:

• fractional gates,
• gate twirling,
• probabilistic error amplification (PEA),
• probabilistic error cancellation (PEC),
• gate-folding zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE),
• some dynamic-circuit features.

Always consult the current Estimator/Sampler options and backend target. Do not copy a mitigation configuration between Runtime versions without revalidation.

Fractional Gates

Request a backend target that exposes fractional gates when the algorithm benefits:

backend = service.backend(
    backend_name,
    use_fractional_gates=True,
)

Compile against the returned object. use_fractional_gates changes the target and can affect compatibility with control flow and mitigation.

Qiskit Pulse is not an alternative; qiskit.pulse was removed in Qiskit 2.0.

Third-Party Providers

Qiskit can target non-IBM providers through separately installed provider packages. Each provider controls:

• authentication,
• backend discovery,
• supported BackendV2 features,
• whether native V2 primitives exist,
• transpilation plugins,
• result and cost semantics.

Prefer the provider's current documentation. If only BackendV2 is available, adapt it with BackendSamplerV2 or BackendEstimatorV2. Do not assume IBM Runtime options, sessions, or mitigation are portable.

Operational Checklist

Before submitting:

1. Verify the account, plan, instance, and region.
2. Select a backend by circuit width and capabilities.
3. Compile and test locally against a fake/noisy backend.
4. Apply the circuit layout to Estimator observables.
5. Estimate the number of PUBs, circuits after randomization/mitigation, shots, and maximum execution time.
6. Choose job, batch, or session mode.
7. Save job IDs immediately.
8. Store versions, backend, target timestamp, compiler seed, primitive options, and metadata.

Common Failures

• Authentication failure: use ibm_quantum_platform, verify the saved account, API key, and instance access.
• Backend not found: list accessible backends; systems and account entitlements change.
• Circuit not ISA-compatible: submit the circuit returned by the backend-specific pass manager.
• Open Plan session error: use job or batch mode.
• Unsupported option combination: check the current feature-compatibility table.
• Unexpected queue/cost: inspect the plan, mode TTL, precision, shots, mitigation, and twirling expansion.
• Simulation differs from QPU: document the model snapshot and unmodeled effects rather than tuning until outputs match.

Circuits, Parameters, Control Flow, and Serialization

Circuit Data Model

QuantumCircuit stores ordered quantum bits, classical bits, instructions, parameters, global phase, metadata, and optional real-time classical control flow.

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

circuit = QuantumCircuit(3, 3, name="ghz")
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.cx(1, 2)
circuit.measure([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2])

print(circuit.num_qubits)
print(circuit.num_clbits)
print(circuit.depth())
print(circuit.count_ops())

Use explicit registers when result names or control-flow operands matter:

from qiskit import ClassicalRegister, QuantumCircuit, QuantumRegister

qubits = QuantumRegister(2, "q")
syndrome = ClassicalRegister(1, "syndrome")
readout = ClassicalRegister(2, "readout")
circuit = QuantumCircuit(qubits, syndrome, readout)

Sampler V2 returns one data field per classical register, so meaningful register names improve result handling.

Bit and Pauli Ordering

Qiskit uses little-endian conventions:

• Qubit 0 is conventionally the least-significant qubit.
• Count strings are printed most-significant classical bit first.
• The rightmost character of a Pauli label acts on qubit 0.
• Circuit diagrams normally draw qubit 0 at the top.

For a two-qubit operator, "ZI" applies Z to qubit 1 and identity to qubit 0. Never reverse strings based only on visual circuit order.

When translating a bitstring into graph vertices or variables, write and test an explicit conversion:

def qiskit_bitstring_to_qubit_values(bitstring: str) -> list[int]:
    """Return values ordered as qubit/classical-bit 0, 1, ..."""
    return [int(bit) for bit in reversed(bitstring.replace(" ", ""))]

Spaces can appear between multiple classical registers in formatted count keys.

Gates and Instructions

from math import pi
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

circuit = QuantumCircuit(3)

# One-qubit gates
circuit.x(0)
circuit.h(1)
circuit.s(1)
circuit.t(2)
circuit.rx(pi / 3, 0)
circuit.ry(pi / 4, 1)
circuit.rz(pi / 5, 2)

# Two- and three-qubit gates
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.cz(1, 2)
circuit.swap(0, 2)
circuit.ccx(0, 1, 2)

Prefer high-level gates while constructing the algorithm. Let a target-aware transpiler translate them to the selected backend's instruction set.

Barriers are directives that constrain some transpiler reordering and optimization. Use them only when the experimental boundary matters, not as visual decoration:

circuit.barrier(label="logical-boundary")

Measurements and Resets

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

circuit = QuantumCircuit(2, 2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.measure([0, 1], [0, 1])

measure_all() adds measurements and, unless suitable classical bits already exist, creates a register named meas:

circuit = QuantumCircuit(2)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.measure_all()
print([register.name for register in circuit.cregs])

Sampler requires measurement instructions for sampled classical output. Estimator generally uses circuits without final measurements.

Use reset() only when the execution target supports it:

circuit.reset(0)

Parameterized Circuits

Primitive PUBs are the preferred way to evaluate one parameterized circuit at many values.

import numpy as np
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit import ParameterVector

theta = ParameterVector("theta", 3)
circuit = QuantumCircuit(3)
for qubit, parameter in enumerate(theta):
    circuit.ry(parameter, qubit)
circuit.cx(0, 1)
circuit.cx(1, 2)

parameter_order = list(circuit.parameters)
parameter_values = np.array(
    [
        [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
        [0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
        [0.4, 0.5, 0.6],
    ]
)

assert parameter_values.shape[-1] == len(parameter_order)

Do not assume that creation order and circuit.parameters order are interchangeable for arbitrary named parameters. Print or persist the order:

print([parameter.name for parameter in circuit.parameters])

For debugging or APIs that require a bound circuit:

bound = circuit.assign_parameters(
    dict(zip(parameter_order, parameter_values[0], strict=True))
)

For iterative primitive workloads, keep the circuit parameterized and pass values in the PUB instead of producing and transpiling a bound circuit on every iteration.

Composition and Reuse

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit

prepare = QuantumCircuit(2, name="prepare")
prepare.h(0)

entangle = QuantumCircuit(2, name="entangle")
entangle.cx(0, 1)

combined = prepare.compose(entangle)

Map qubits explicitly when composing circuits with different widths:

larger = QuantumCircuit(4)
larger.compose(combined, qubits=[1, 3], inplace=True)

Convert a reusable unitary subcircuit to a gate or instruction:

bell_prep = combined.to_gate(label="Bell prep")
outer = QuantumCircuit(2)
outer.append(bell_prep, [0, 1])

Circuits containing measurements or other non-unitary instructions cannot be converted to a Gate.

Current Circuit-Library Constructors

Qiskit 2.x is moving from mutable blueprint classes to functions and gates that build concrete objects immediately.

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit.circuit.library import QFTGate, efficient_su2, real_amplitudes

ansatz = efficient_su2(
    num_qubits=4,
    reps=2,
    entanglement="linear",
)

real_ansatz = real_amplitudes(
    num_qubits=4,
    reps=2,
    entanglement="reverse_linear",
)

qft = QuantumCircuit(4)
qft.append(QFTGate(4), range(4))

The old QFT blueprint class is deprecated as of Qiskit 2.1 and is scheduled for removal in Qiskit 3.0. Use QFTGate or qiskit.synthesis.qft.synth_qft_full.

Other current constructors include:

from qiskit.circuit.library import (
    grover_operator,
    n_local,
    pauli_feature_map,
    zz_feature_map,
)

Check the current API before using a class copied from an older tutorial; several blueprint classes have function replacements.

Dynamic Circuits and Classical Control

Qiskit expresses structured real-time control flow with context managers:

from qiskit import ClassicalRegister, QuantumCircuit, QuantumRegister

qubit = QuantumRegister(1, "q")
flag = ClassicalRegister(1, "flag")
circuit = QuantumCircuit(qubit, flag)

circuit.h(qubit[0])
circuit.measure(qubit[0], flag[0])
with circuit.if_test((flag[0], True)):
    circuit.x(qubit[0])

Other structured builders include if_test, while_loop, for_loop, and switch.

Before executing dynamic circuits:

1. Confirm the selected backend target includes the required control-flow operations.
2. Transpile against that exact backend.
3. Check current compatibility among dynamic circuits, fractional gates, and mitigation options.
4. Test classical-register interpretation locally or on a fake backend.

Legacy instruction.c_if(...) patterns were removed in Qiskit 2.0.

Circuit Inspection

print("qubits:", circuit.num_qubits)
print("classical bits:", circuit.num_clbits)
print("parameters:", [parameter.name for parameter in circuit.parameters])
print("depth:", circuit.depth())
print("size:", circuit.size())
print("operations:", circuit.count_ops())
print("nonlocal gates:", circuit.num_nonlocal_gates())

These metrics are structural, not direct fidelity or cost estimates. Recompute them after target-aware transpilation.

QPY Serialization

QPY preserves Qiskit circuits more faithfully than interchange formats intended for other tools:

from pathlib import Path
from qiskit import qpy

path = Path("experiment.qpy")
with path.open("wb") as output_file:
    qpy.dump(circuit, output_file)

with path.open("rb") as input_file:
    loaded_circuits = qpy.load(input_file)

loaded = loaded_circuits[0]

QPY is forward-compatible: newer Qiskit releases can normally load older QPY files. Older releases are not expected to load QPY produced by newer versions.

Record the writing Qiskit version and retain source code for long-lived artifacts. Treat all external binary inputs as untrusted and enforce source, size, and version policies. Never substitute Python pickle for untrusted circuit data.

OpenQASM Interchange

Use OpenQASM when interoperability is more important than preserving every Qiskit-specific object:

from qiskit import qasm2, qasm3

qasm2_text = qasm2.dumps(circuit)
round_tripped = qasm2.loads(qasm2_text)

qasm3_text = qasm3.dumps(circuit)

OpenQASM 2 cannot represent all modern control-flow and classical-expression features. OpenQASM 3 import requires optional tooling and may not round-trip Qiskit metadata or custom instructions. Validate semantics after interchange.

Common Circuit Mistakes

• Wrong output register: inspect circuit.cregs and use the corresponding Sampler result field.
• Reversed interpretation: account for count-string and Pauli-label ordering explicitly.
• Parameter shape mismatch: make the final value-array dimension equal len(circuit.parameters).
• Duplicate measurements: use remove_final_measurements() before adding a new measurement scheme.
• Estimator failure: remove final measurements and non-unitary instructions.
• Unsupported control flow: inspect backend.operation_names and backend.target.
• Circuit wider than target: compare circuit.num_qubits with backend.num_qubits before transpiling.
• Unexpected optimization across boundaries: add a barrier only when that behavior is intentional.

Migration to Qiskit 2.5 and Runtime 0.48

Use this guide when adapting code written for Qiskit 0.x, Qiskit 1.x, or early Qiskit Runtime releases.

Start with a Clean Environment

Do not upgrade an environment containing both old qiskit-terra and modern qiskit.

uv venv --python 3.13 .venv-qiskit-2
source .venv-qiskit-2/bin/activate
uv pip install \
  "qiskit==2.5.0" \
  "qiskit-ibm-runtime==0.48.0" \
  "qiskit-aer==0.17.2"

Run:

python scripts/check_environment.py --require-runtime --require-aer

High-Level API Map

Legacy pattern	Qiskit 2.5 pattern
Install qiskit-terra	Install qiskit
from qiskit import Aer	from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator
execute(circuit, backend)	V2 primitive, or provider-specific backend only when necessary
QuantumInstance	Primitive implementation plus explicit transpilation
qiskit.opflow	qiskit.quantum_info.SparsePauliOp and primitive PUBs
circuit.bind_parameters(...)	circuit.assign_parameters(...), or pass values in PUBs
V1 Sampler / Estimator	StatevectorSampler / StatevectorEstimator, Runtime SamplerV2 / EstimatorV2
Parallel V1 input lists	One or more PUB tuples
result.quasi_dists	result[i].data.<register>.get_counts()

Logical observable submitted unchanged	observable.apply_layout(isa_circuit.layout)
backend.configuration() / .properties()	BackendV2 direct attributes and backend.target
channel="ibm_quantum"	channel="ibm_quantum_platform"
qiskit.pulse	IBM fractional gates or Qiskit Dynamics, depending on the goal
QFT(...) blueprint class	QFTGate(...) or synth_qft_full(...)
Blueprint ansatz classes	Function constructors such as efficient_su2(...)
instruction.c_if(...)	Structured circuit control flow such as if_test(...)

Migrate V1 Sampler

Legacy shape:

# Legacy; do not use
# sampler = Sampler()
# result = sampler.run(circuits, parameter_values).result()
# quasi_distribution = result.quasi_dists[0]

Current local V2:

from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler

sampler = StatevectorSampler(seed=41)
pub_result = sampler.run(
    [(measured_circuit, parameter_values)],
    shots=1024,
).result()[0]

counts = pub_result.data.meas.get_counts(0)

Key changes:

• measured shot data replace V1 quasi-distributions,
• output is organized by classical register,
• parameter sweeps retain array shape,
• a PUB contains one circuit and its parameter values.

Migrate V1 Estimator

Legacy shape:

# Legacy; do not use
# estimator = Estimator()
# result = estimator.run(circuits, observables, values).result()
# expectation_value = result.values[0]

Current local V2:

from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorEstimator

estimator = StatevectorEstimator()
pub_result = estimator.run(
    [(circuit, observable, parameter_values)]
).result()[0]

expectation_values = pub_result.data.evs
standard_deviations = pub_result.data.stds

Migrate Runtime Execution

Legacy Runtime:

# Legacy; do not use
# options = Options()
# options.resilience_level = 2
# estimator = Estimator(session=session, options=options)

Current Runtime:

from qiskit_ibm_runtime import EstimatorV2 as Estimator

estimator = Estimator(
    mode=session,
    options={"resilience_level": 2},
)

Use current mode syntax:

sampler = Sampler(mode=backend)
sampler = Sampler(mode=batch)
sampler = Sampler(mode=session)

Do not pass backend=backend to a primitive inside a batch or session; that selects job mode.

Migrate to ISA Circuits

Legacy Runtime examples often submitted logical circuits and relied on service-side transpilation. V2 Runtime requires ISA circuits:

from qiskit.transpiler import generate_preset_pass_manager

pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
    backend=backend,
    optimization_level=1,
    seed_transpiler=41,
)
isa_circuit = pass_manager.run(logical_circuit)

Estimator observables must follow the layout:

isa_observable = logical_observable.apply_layout(
    isa_circuit.layout
)

Failing to map observables can silently change the physical qubits being measured or produce a width error.

Migrate BackendV1 Access

Legacy:

# Legacy; do not use
# basis_gates = backend.configuration().basis_gates
# coupling_map = backend.configuration().coupling_map
# properties = backend.properties()

Current:

basis_operations = backend.operation_names
coupling_map = backend.coupling_map
target = backend.target
num_qubits = backend.num_qubits

Query gate errors, durations, and qubit support through the Target entries. Do not combine a backend with manually copied basis and coupling data unless constructing a deliberately synthetic target.

Migrate IBM Account Configuration

The IBM Quantum Platform Classic channel is retired.

Current trusted-machine setup:

import os
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService

QiskitRuntimeService.save_account(
    channel="ibm_quantum_platform",
    token=os.environ["IBM_QUANTUM_API_KEY"],
    instance=os.environ.get("IBM_QUANTUM_INSTANCE"),
    set_as_default=True,
    overwrite=True,
)

Do not paste a key into source or a notebook. See setup.md.

Migrate Pulse Code

qiskit.pulse was removed in Qiskit 2.0 without a drop-in replacement.

Choose based on intent:

• To execute supported continuous-angle one- and two-qubit rotations on IBM hardware, request a backend target with fractional gates.
• To model driven quantum systems and pulse-level dynamics, use the independently released Qiskit Dynamics project.
• To keep a historical pulse workflow unchanged, isolate it in a legacy Qiskit 1.x environment only for archival reproducibility; do not mix it with Qiskit 2.x.

Do not copy pulse.build, ScheduleBlock, or pulse-drawer examples into Qiskit 2.x code.

QPY files containing ScheduleBlock objects cannot be loaded by Qiskit 2.x.

Migrate Circuit-Library Blueprints

Several mutable blueprint classes are deprecated in favor of eagerly built functions or gates:

from qiskit.circuit.library import (
    QFTGate,
    efficient_su2,
    real_amplitudes,
    zz_feature_map,
)

qft_gate = QFTGate(4)
ansatz = efficient_su2(4, reps=2)
real_ansatz = real_amplitudes(4, reps=2)
feature_map = zz_feature_map(4, reps=2)

The old QFT class is deprecated as of 2.1 and scheduled for removal in 3.0.

Function constructors can differ in mutability and construction timing from blueprint classes. Test parameter order and circuit metadata after migration.

Migrate Classical Conditions

Legacy per-instruction conditions were removed:

# Legacy; do not use
# circuit.x(0).c_if(classical_register, 1)

Use structured control flow:

with circuit.if_test((classical_bit, True)):
    circuit.x(0)

Then verify that the selected backend target supports the corresponding control-flow instruction.

Migrate Qiskit Algorithms

Old quantum_instance= constructors are not current.

from qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler
from qiskit_algorithms import PhaseEstimation

phase_estimation = PhaseEstimation(
    num_evaluation_qubits=4,
    sampler=StatevectorSampler(seed=41),
)

Current VQE takes a V2 Estimator; current QAOA takes a V2 Sampler.

Use optimizer objects:

from qiskit_algorithms.optimizers import COBYLA

optimizer = COBYLA(maxiter=100)

Do not use strings such as optimizer="COBYLA" unless a specific current package API documents that form.

Migrate Qiskit Machine Learning

Since Qiskit Machine Learning 0.8, several features moved out of qiskit_algorithms:

# Current package locations
from qiskit_machine_learning.optimizers import COBYLA
from qiskit_machine_learning.state_fidelities import ComputeUncompute
from qiskit_machine_learning.utils import algorithm_globals

Check the package's 0.8 migration guide for gradients, optimizers, fidelities, and utilities. Do not assume an import path from a Qiskit Machine Learning 0.7 tutorial still works.

Migrate Qiskit Nature

Use mapper classes directly:

from qiskit_nature.second_q.mappers import JordanWignerMapper

mapper = JordanWignerMapper()
qubit_operator = mapper.map(fermionic_operator)

QubitConverter is obsolete. Current application code lives primarily under qiskit_nature.second_q.

Serialization Migration

Prefer:

• QPY for Qiskit-native circuit persistence,
• OpenQASM for supported interchange,
• explicit JSON-compatible experiment metadata.

Avoid Python pickle for untrusted artifacts. QPY is forward-compatible but not backward-compatible: newer Qiskit normally reads older QPY, not vice versa.

Record the Qiskit version that wrote each QPY file.

Migration Validation

After each migration:

1. Run imports with deprecation warnings visible.
2. Compare a small logical circuit's ideal state or operator.
3. Verify parameter order and PUB output shape.
4. Verify count-string and Pauli-label ordering.
5. Compile against a fake BackendV2.
6. Confirm all Estimator observables use the compiled layout.
7. Compare application-level outputs, not circuit text alone.
8. Run one bounded noisy simulation before a QPU.
9. Record new package pins and update the experiment manifest.

Do not silence deprecation warnings globally. Treat them as scheduled migration work before Qiskit 3.0.
