qrunch.quantum.backends.random_backend

Module with implementation of a random backend for benchmarking purposes.

Classes

RandomBackend	A backend that generates random measurement results for benchmarking purposes.
RandomBackendOptions	Options for the random backend.

class RandomBackend

Bases: Backend

A backend that generates random measurement results for benchmarking purposes.

__init__(options: RandomBackendOptions = RandomBackendOptions(seed=None)) → None

Initialize the random backend.

Parameters:

options (RandomBackendOptions)

Return type:

None

property name: str

Name of the backend.

run(circuits: Circuit | Sequence[Circuit], shots: int | None) → SimulatedJob

Run circuit on the backend.

Parameters:

• circuits (Circuit | Sequence[Circuit]) – The circuits to run.

• shots (int | None) – The number of shots to use for the simulation.

Return type:

SimulatedJob

supports_shots_equals_none() → bool

Return whether the backend supports shots = None.

Return type:

bool

class RandomBackendOptions

Bases: object

Options for the random backend.

All fields are immutable (frozen=True) so an instance can be safely reused.

Parameters:

seed – Seed for the random number generator. If None, a random seed will be used. (default=None)

__init__(seed: int | None = None) → None

Parameters:

seed (int | None)

Return type:

None

seed: int | None = None
