The :mod:`qiskit.providers.fake_provider` module now includes a series of generic fake backends
following the :class:`.BackendV1` interface. They have been introduced as an alternative to the
snapshot-based fake backends exposed in the deprecated ``FakeProvider``
(``FakeVigo``, ``FakeTokyo``, etc). The list of new fake backends includes:
* Backends without pulse capabilities:
* :class:`.Fake5QV1`
* :class:`.Fake20QV1`
* Backends with pulse capabilities:
* :class:`.Fake7QPulseV1`
* :class:`.Fake27QPulseV1`
* :class:`.Fake127QPulseV1`
They can be imported following the pattern: ``from qiskit.providers.fake_provider import Fake5QV1``.
More details on the backend properties can be found on each backend's API documentation.
