load_IBMQ_account()

Loads the IMBQ account. If it fails a first time, the IBMQ token will be prompted and the account loading will be attempted a second time. If it fails a second time. Exits by letting the \(Error\) be raised.

Raises:

IBMQAccountCredentialsInvalidFormat: If the default provider stored on

disk could not be parsed.

IBMQAccountCredentialsNotFound: If no IBM Quantum Experience credentials

can be found.

IBMQAccountMultipleCredentialsFound: If multiple IBM Quantum Experience

credentials are found.

IBMQAccountCredentialsInvalidUrl: If invalid IBM Quantum Experience

credentials are found.

IBMQProviderError: If the default provider stored on disk could not

be found.

runCircuit(qc, simulation=True, return_count=True, monitor=False, local=True, shots=1024)

Runs the QuantumCircuit \(qc\) in IBM Quantum Experience.

Parameters:

• qc (QuantumCircuit) – Quantum circuit to be executed
• simulation (bool) – If \(True\), the experience runs on a simulator, which substantially faster than on a quantum processor (due to the demand on those). Otherwise, runs on one of the quantum processors.
• return_count (bool) – If the circuit contains measures, and return_count is set to \(True\), then the count of the result will be returned, otherwise, the result will be directly returned.
• monitor (bool) – If \(True\), a \(job_monitor\) will be displayed after the job is submitted.

TODO : add local and shots docs

Returns:dict[str:int] or Result – Depending on return_count, \(runCircuit\) either returns the result (of type Result) of the run or the count of this result, which would be the equivalent of calling \(result.get_counts()\).
