# Execute on target hardware
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "execute on hardware" step of a Qiskit pattern involves running your circuits on hardware
|
|
and produces the outputs of the quantum computation. The ISA circuits produced in
|
|
the previous step can be executed using either a Sampler or Estimator primitive from
|
|
Qiskit Runtime, initialized locally on your computer or from a cluster or other
|
|
heterogeneous compute environment. These can be executed in a Batch, which allows
|
|
parallel transpilation for classical computational efficiency - or a Session,
|
|
which allows iterative tasks to be implemented efficiently without queuing delays.
|
|
|
|
During this step, there is also the option to configure certain error suppression and
|
|
mitigation techniques provided by Qiskit Runtime.
|
|
|
|
Depending on whether you are using the Sampler or Estimator primitive, the outcome of this step
|
|
will be different. If using the Sampler, the output will be per-shot measurements
|
|
in the form of bitstrings. If using the Estimator, the output will be
|
|
expectation values of observables corresponding to physical quantities or cost functions.
