# Sampler
<Class id="qiskit_aer.primitives.Sampler" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit-aer/tree/stable/0.11/qiskit_aer/primitives/sampler.py" signature="Sampler(circuits: Iterable[QuantumCircuit] | QuantumCircuit | None = None, parameters: Iterable[Iterable[Parameter]] | None = None, **kwargs)" modifiers="class">
Bases: [`qiskit.primitives.base.base_sampler.BaseSampler`](qiskit.primitives.BaseSampler "qiskit.primitives.base.base_sampler.BaseSampler")
Aer implementation of Sampler class.
**Run Options**
* **shots** (None or int) The number of shots. If None, it calculates the probabilities exactly. Otherwise, it samples from multinomial distributions.
* **seed** (int) Set a fixed seed for `seed_simulator`. If shots is None, this option is ignored.
<Admonition title="Note" type="note">
Precedence of seeding is as follows:
1. `seed_simulator` in runtime (i.e. in `__call__()`)
2. `seed` in runtime (i.e. in `__call__()`)
3. `seed_simulator` of `backend_options`.
4. default.
</Admonition>
**Parameters**
* **circuits** Circuits to be executed.
* **parameters** Parameters of each of the quantum circuits. Defaults to `[circ.parameters for circ in circuits]`.
* **backend\_options** Options passed to AerSimulator.
* **transpile\_options** Options passed to transpile.
* **run\_options** Options passed to run.
* **skip\_transpilation** if True, transpilation is skipped.
## Methods
### close
<Function id="qiskit_aer.primitives.Sampler.close" signature="Sampler.close()">
Close the session and free resources
</Function>
### run
<Function id="qiskit_aer.primitives.Sampler.run" signature="Sampler.run(circuits, parameter_values=None, **run_options)">
Run the job of the sampling of bitstrings.
**Parameters**
* **circuits** One of more circuit objects.
* **parameter\_values** Parameters to be bound to the circuit.
* **run\_options** Backend runtime options used for circuit execution.
**Returns**
The job object of the result of the sampler. The i-th result corresponds to `circuits[i]` evaluated with parameters bound as `parameter_values[i]`.
**Raises**
**ValueError** Invalid arguments are given.
</Function>
### set\_options
<Function id="qiskit_aer.primitives.Sampler.set_options" signature="Sampler.set_options(**fields)">
Set options values for the estimator.
**Parameters**
**\*\*fields** The fields to update the options
</Function>
## Attributes
