Ibm backend v2 (solves #318 and #347) #349

Closed dbretaud closed 4 years ago

dbretaud commented 4 years ago

Happy new year everyone!

updates on the ibm backend to access again ibmq devices (5 and 15 qubit devices + 32 qubit simulator)
update on ibm setup to handle the three different devices and decompose gates into available gate set (they now only accept u1,u2,u3->rotation gates ,id,barrier and cx gates)
ibm example updated

-> not sure if we should suppress ibm16 setup or simply indicates it is deprecated. File unmodified so far

Closes #318 and closes #347

Many thanks for working on this issue and as previously: great work 😎

Did not have time to fully test the code, but from what I can see, this looks pretty good already. I will try testing it next week and will do a final review then.

I don't have more modifications for the IBM backend, so I think it's ready for merging :)
