IBMQ Qiskit-Runtime Execution

[GeorgDaniel]

Problem Statement

As a Developer, I want to execute a whole quantum application in one envorinment, as quantum applications often contain quantum parts and classical parts.

Goal

The Goal is to include a feature to execute a qiskit-runtime program on a target device where the quantum circuit code together with the classical code is contained in a python file and a JSON-metadata file.

Notes

Check the documentation for API reference.

A prime use-case are Variational Quantum Algorithms, as they benefit from the hybrid execution environment.

Here, the behaviour is explained as a pattern: https://quantumcomputingpatterns.org/#/patterns/6

!!Note, that the Qiskit-Runtime API is different from the IBM/web API.

For a better understanding, here is an excerpt of the Execution Pattern Paper which describes the idea of the two steps of a pre-deployed application:

Use IBM Qasm Simulator (not local)

Execution of uploaded runtime programs results in an authorization error 403
