<Class id="qiskit_ibm_runtime.Session" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime/tree/stable/0.36/qiskit_ibm_runtime/session.py#L46-L363" signature="Session(backend=None, max_time=None)" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: `object`
|
||
|
||
Class for creating a Qiskit Runtime session.
|
||
|
||
A Qiskit Runtime `session` allows you to group a collection of iterative calls to the quantum computer. A session is started when the first job within the session is started. Subsequent jobs within the session are prioritized by the scheduler.
|
||
|
||
You can open a Qiskit Runtime session using this `Session` class and submit jobs to one or more primitives.
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, QuantumRegister, ClassicalRegister
|
||
from qiskit.transpiler.preset_passmanagers import generate_preset_pass_manager
|
||
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import Session, SamplerV2 as Sampler
|
||
|
||
service = QiskitRuntimeService()
|
||
backend = service.least_busy(operational=True, simulator=False)
|
||
|
||
# Bell Circuit
|
||
qr = QuantumRegister(2, name="qr")
|
||
cr = ClassicalRegister(2, name="cr")
|
||
qc = QuantumCircuit(qr, cr, name="bell")
|
||
qc.h(qr[0])
|
||
qc.cx(qr[0], qr[1])
|
||
qc.measure(qr, cr)
|
||
|
||
pm = generate_preset_pass_manager(backend=backend, optimization_level=1)
|
||
isa_circuit = pm.run(qc)
|
||
|
||
with Session(backend=backend) as session:
|
||
sampler = Sampler(mode=session)
|
||
job = sampler.run([isa_circuit])
|
||
pub_result = job.result()[0]
|
||
print(f"Sampler job ID: {job.job_id()}")
|
||
print(f"Counts: {pub_result.data.cr.get_counts()}")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Session constructor.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **backend** (*Optional\[Union\[BackendV1, BackendV2]]*) – Instance of `Backend` class.
|
||
* **max\_time** (*Optional\[Union\[int, str]]*) – Maximum amount of time, a runtime session can be open before being forcibly closed. Can be specified as seconds (int) or a string like “2h 30m 40s”. This value must be less than the [system imposed maximum](/guides/max-execution-time).
|
||
|
||
**Raises**
|
||
|
||
**ValueError** – If an input value is invalid.
