The latest release of Qiskit has deprecated the qiskit.algorithms module.
The entire module has been extracted in its state at the time into the new qiskit-algorithms repository.
We should switch all of our use of qiskit.algorithms to the new location and add qiskit-algorithms as a required dependency.
When doing so, we need to be mindful of isinstance checks as these would break.
In order to preserve backwards-compatibility with qiskit.algorithms we could add some string-comparison based on class names as a temporary solution. Once qiskit.algorithms is actually gone, these can be removed again.
What should we add?
