# Fake Provider
`qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider`
## Overview
The fake provider module contains fake providers and fake backends classes. The fake backends are built to mimic the behaviors of IBM Quantum systems using system snapshots. The system snapshots contain important information about the quantum system such as coupling map, basis gates, qubit properties (T1, T2, error rate, etc.) which are useful for testing the transpiler and performing noisy simulations of the system.
## Example Usage
Here is an example of using a fake backend for transpilation and simulation.
```python
from qiskit import QuantumCircuit
from qiskit import transpile
from qiskit.tools.visualization import plot_histogram
from qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider import FakeManilaV2
# Get a fake backend from the fake provider
backend = FakeManilaV2()
# Create a simple circuit
circuit = QuantumCircuit(3)
circuit.h(0)
circuit.cx(0,1)
circuit.cx(0,2)
circuit.measure_all()
circuit.draw('mpl', style="iqp")
# Transpile the ideal circuit to a circuit that can be directly executed by the backend
transpiled_circuit = transpile(circuit, backend)
transpiled_circuit.draw('mpl', style="iqp")
# Run the transpiled circuit using the simulated fake backend
job = backend.run(transpiled_circuit)
counts = job.result().get_counts()
plot_histogram(counts)
```

<Admonition title="Important" type="danger">
Please note that the simulation is done using a noise model generated from system snapshots obtained in the past (sometimes a few years ago) and the results are not representative of the latest behaviours of the real quantum system which the fake backend is mimicking. If you want to run noisy simulations to compare with the real quantum system, you should use the `qiskit_aer` library. After installation, you can follow the steps below to generate a simulator that mimics a real quantum system with the latest calibration results.
```python
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService
from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator
# get a real backend from the runtime service
service = QiskitRuntimeService()
backend = service.get_backend('ibmq_manila')
# generate a simulator that mimics the real quantum system with the latest calibration results
backend_sim = AerSimulator.from_backend(backend)
```
