Find a guide by task¶
After your first experiment, use these guides to adapt the program to your own work. For a sequence of lessons, follow a learning route.
| I want to… | Guide |
|---|---|
| Set an angle, amplitude or phase | Bind parameters |
| Compare several parameter points | Scan parameters |
| Extract counts, probabilities and errors | Read results and diagnostics |
| Compare ideal and noisy experiments | Configure physical noise |
| Fix the simulation method and check numerical error | Choose a simulation method |
| Estimate resources before increasing the system size | Set a resource budget |
| Save a job and continue in another process | Retry, resume and local history |
| Export plots and reports | Experiment reports |
| Evaluate several observables together | Observable batches |
| Design piecewise or interpolated controls | Interpolated waveforms |
| Check Analog target constraints and compiler output | Reference compilation |
| Turn a graph or quadratic problem into a program | Problem compilation |
| Convert static OpenQASM 3 circuits | Restricted interop |
If a run fails, start with troubleshooting, then look up the API named in the error. When changing physical assumptions, also check units, the noise model and target capabilities.
