# Sampler
<Class id="qiskit.primitives.Sampler" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/primitives/sampler.py#L39-L162" signature="qiskit.primitives.Sampler(*, options=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: [`BaseSampler`](qiskit.primitives.BaseSampler "qiskit.primitives.base.base_sampler.BaseSampler")\[[`PrimitiveJob`](qiskit.primitives.PrimitiveJob "qiskit.primitives.primitive_job.PrimitiveJob")\[[`SamplerResult`](qiskit.primitives.SamplerResult "qiskit.primitives.base.sampler_result.SamplerResult")]]
Sampler V1 class.
[`Sampler`](#qiskit.primitives.Sampler "qiskit.primitives.Sampler") is a reference implementation of [`BaseSampler`](qiskit.primitives.BaseSampler "qiskit.primitives.BaseSampler") (V1).
**Run Options**
* **shots** (None or int) The number of shots. If None, it calculates the probabilities. Otherwise, it samples from multinomial distributions.
* **seed** (np.random.Generator or int) Set a fixed seed or generator for the multinomial distribution. If shots is None, this option is ignored.
<Admonition title="Deprecated since version 1.2" type="danger">
The class `qiskit.primitives.sampler.Sampler` is deprecated as of qiskit 1.2. It will be removed no earlier than 3 months after the release date. All implementations of the BaseSamplerV1 interface have been deprecated in favor of their V2 counterparts. The V2 alternative for the Sampler class is StatevectorSampler.
</Admonition>
**Parameters**
**options** ([*dict*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.13)") *| None*) Default options.
**Raises**
[**QiskitError**](exceptions#qiskit.exceptions.QiskitError "qiskit.exceptions.QiskitError") if some classical bits are not used for measurements.
## Attributes
### options
<Attribute id="qiskit.primitives.Sampler.options">
Return options values for the estimator.
**Returns**
options
</Attribute>
## Methods
### run
<Function id="qiskit.primitives.Sampler.run" github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/primitives/base/base_sampler.py#L111-L142" signature="run(circuits, parameter_values=None, **run_options)">
Run the job of the sampling of bitstrings.
**Parameters**
* **circuits** ([*QuantumCircuit*](qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit "qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit") *| Sequence\[*[*QuantumCircuit*](qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit "qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit")*]*) One of more circuit objects.
* **parameter\_values** (*Sequence\[*[*float*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.13)")*] | Sequence\[Sequence\[*[*float*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.13)")*]] | None*) 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**](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "(in Python v3.13)") Invalid arguments are given.
**Return type**
T
</Function>
### set\_options
<Function id="qiskit.primitives.Sampler.set_options" github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/primitives/base/base_primitive.py#L39-L45" signature="set_options(**fields)">
Set options values for the estimator.
**Parameters**
**\*\*fields** The fields to update the options
