​
Usage

​
Execution on IBM Simulators

preferences = IBMBackendPreferences(backend_name="Name of requsted quantum simulator")
The supported simulators are fake hardware simulators.

​
Execution on IBM Hardware

Execution on IBM hardware requires a valid IBM Quantum Cloud API access token, and access to the requested hardware with an IBM Quantum hub, group, and project name. The access token is the API token that appears at the top of the IBM Quantum Cloud page, when you are logged in. You must create an account with IBM quantum if you do not have one already. 
from classiq import (
    IBMBackendPreferences,
)

preferences = IBMBackendPreferences(
    backend_name="Name of requsted quantum hardware",
    access_token="A Valid API access token to IBM Quantum",
    channel="IBM Cloud Channel",
    instance_crn="IBM Cloud Instance CRN",
)
