# Estimator
|
||
|
||
<Class id="qiskit.primitives.Estimator" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.20/qiskit/primitives/estimator.py" signature="Estimator(circuits, observables, parameters=None)" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: `qiskit.primitives.base_estimator.BaseEstimator`
|
||
|
||
Estimator class
|
||
|
||
Creating an instance of an Estimator, or using one in a `with` context opens a session that holds resources until the instance is `close()` ed or the context is exited.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **circuits** – quantum circuits that represent quantum states
|
||
* **observables** – observables
|
||
* **parameters** – parameters of quantum circuits, specifying the order in which values
|
||
* **be bound.** (*will*) – Defaults to `[circ.parameters for circ in circuits]` The indexing is such that `parameters[i, j]` is the j-th formal parameter of `circuits[i]`.
|
||
|
||
**Raises**
|
||
|
||
**QiskitError** – for mismatch of circuits and parameters list.
|
||
|
||
## Methods

|
||
<Function id="qiskit.primitives.Estimator.close" signature="Estimator.close()">
