#11422
Conversation
…sicSimulator`, remove statevector and unitary simulators. Replace uses of `BasicAer` with `BasicProvider`, `QasmSimulatorPy` with `BasicSimulator`, `UnitarySimulatorPy` with `quantum_info.Operator` and `StatevectorSimulatorPy` with `quantum_info.Statevector`.
…ith some extra methods for backward compat.). Refactor class, rename some internal methods to avoid non-qasm related use of "qasm", add typehints to module to improve clarity, update existing typehints. Update tests to expect `BackendV2`.

The overall approach LGTM, I left some comments below.
One feature that we're losing by using Statevector
over StatevectorSimulatorPy
is that we cannot use statevector simulation of circuits with measurements anymore. Or is this included in the BasicSimulator
using shots=0
? In any case, we should make sure to point this out in the reno 🙂
…m_qubits in BasicSimulator to None to avoid circuits being transpiled to the simulator's max number of qubits, thus blowing up the size of the computed statevector. Apply suggestions from Julien's code review Co-authored-by: Julien Gacon <gaconju@gmail.com>

…te basis gate, remove properties and status (but keep configuration, as it is required by assemble), change test case (it was based on backendV1).

Overall this LGTM, it's mostly identical to the additions in the #11583 just a couple small questions inline. But otherwise this is ready to go.

Was there a case where BackendConfiguration
could not have n_qubits
, IIRC it's a required attribute that's built into the model class.

I added this at the beginning when the BasicSimulator
was a bit of a hybrid between V1 and V2, and forgot to change it back. No longer used or needed.

Are there any backends that need this. I realize this is what we merged on 0.46, but isn't the backends
list just [BasicSimulator()]
now with no aliases or deprecations? I feel like this logic can be reduced quite a bit and just reduced to:

Removed alias shenanigans in 85addc3 (I had to add a bit of logic because get_backend()
relies on backends()
, but I think it's still better now).

This LGTM, just some quick questions in the release note. But we can save this for a followup post rc1 if you'd prefer as we'll be going through the release notes for the final release.

qiskit.providers.basicaer was removed in Qiskit 1.0. See Qiskit/qiskit#11422
qiskit.providers.basicaer was removed in Qiskit 1.0. See Qiskit/qiskit#11422
qiskit.providers.basicaer was removed in Qiskit 1.0. See Qiskit/qiskit#11422
qiskit.providers.basicaer was removed in Qiskit 1.0. See Qiskit/qiskit#11422
This change adjusts for several remaining changes in Qiskit 1.0: * qiskit.providers.basicaer was removed in Qiskit 1.0 (see Qiskit/qiskit#11422). Here its use is replaced with qiskit-aer. * `qiskit.providers.fake_provider.FakeJob` was removed in Qiskit 1.0 (see Qiskit/qiskit#11376). Here the `FakeJob` already in `qiskit_experiments.test` is used instead. This update was missed in f22bb7b which switched the other `fake_provider` usage. * Replace `qiskit.provider.FakeProvider` with a custom subclass of `ProviderV1`. `FakeProvider` was moved out of Qiskit 1.0 to qiskit-ibm-runtime. * `calibration/test_rabi.py` was modified to make the data for a test of bad data worse as the test started fitting the data as good with the original parameters and qiskit-aer in place of basicaer. * In the readout mitigation manual, a use of `plot_histogram` was exchanged for one of `plot_distribution`. * Guard `FakeBackendV2` import that was removed in Qiskit 1.0. Try to import `FakeBackendV2` from qiskit-ibm-runtime as well. Also, this change unpins qiskit which had to be pinned in f22bb7b until these fixes could be merged since 0.46.0 was released with deprecation warnings for some of the usage changed here.

Summary
This PR introduces the following changes:
basicaer
module tobasic_provider
to avoid confusions withqiskit-aer
.UnitarySimulatorPy
andStatevectorSimulatorPy
frombasic_provider
in favor of thequantum_info
equivalents (Statevector
andOperator
).QasmSimulatorPy
class toBasicSimulator
to avoid misinterpretations of it being a "qasm-based" simulator.BasicSimulator
to follow theBackendV2
interface, a step forward in the deprecation ofBackendV1
(it keeps some legacy methods/properties to interface withassemble
and other V1-centric functionality) --> fixes UseBackendV2
for basic aer #10690.Fixes #4443 and #10690.
Details and comments
The discussion in #4443 starts off considering renaming
BasicAer
toTestProvider
, but I believe thatTest
is an overloaded term (at least, more thanBasic
) and it doesn't really represent the purpose of this module, which is offering a lightweight simulator that is shipped with qiskit for quick prototyping, not performance or efficiency (also testing, but that is not its only use).In addition to this, the test file names would look particularly ugly if it were called
TestProvider
, with paths liketest.providers.test_provider.test_test_provider.TestTestProvider
(as opposed totest.providers.basic_provider.test_basic_provider.TestBasicProvider
).Mini migration guide:
