In qiskit 0.46, several classes in the qiskit.providers.fake_provider module were deprecated, including qiskit.providers.fake_provider.fake_backend.FakeBackendV2. However, the removal PR failed to address this particular class, so while this particular FakeBackendV2 was no longer part of the public API, the import path would still work. This oversight will be addressed in https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/pull/11997, but in order to merge this PR we must make sure that all the downstream libraries covered by qiskit-neko are up-to-date with the change.
This change adds an alternative import path for this class in qiskit-experiments. It follows the pattern from other 1.0 import deprecations. The removal would roll out in the 1.1 release, but it is indicated as a 1.0 removal because that is when it should have technically taken place.
