IBM account, QPU, session, and batch examples are illustrative and documentation\u002Fsource-checked; no remote workloads were submitted. See [references\u002Fsources.md](references\u002Fsources.md) for the verification boundary.\n\nRuntime 0.50 deprecates the top-level `SamplerV2`\u002F`EstimatorV2` implementations. New code imports `Sampler` from `qiskit_ibm_runtime.executor_sampler` and `Estimator` from `qiskit_ibm_runtime.executor_estimator`. These still implement the V2 PUB interface, using client-side processing and `Executor`. Use option models from `qiskit_ibm_runtime.options_models`.\n\n## Choose the Right Path\n\n| Goal | Recommended interface |\n|---|---|\n| Ideal evolution with finite-shot sampling | `qiskit.primitives.StatevectorSampler` |\n| Exact local expectation values | `qiskit.primitives.StatevectorEstimator` |\n| High-performance or noisy simulation | Qiskit Aer |\n| IBM QPU sampling | `qiskit_ibm_runtime.executor_sampler.Sampler` |\n| IBM QPU expectation values and mitigation | `qiskit_ibm_runtime.executor_estimator.Estimator` |\n| Backend without native primitives | `BackendSamplerV2` or `BackendEstimatorV2` |\n| Open-system or master-equation dynamics | Prefer QuTiP |\n| Differentiable quantum machine learning | Prefer PennyLane unless Qiskit integration is required |\n\n## Installation\n\nCreate an isolated environment and install only the components needed:\n\n```bash\nuv venv --python 3.13\nsource .venv\u002Fbin\u002Factivate\n\n# Core SDK plus plotting support\nuv pip install \"qiskit[visualization]==2.5.2\"\n\n# Add only when needed\nuv pip install \"qiskit-ibm-runtime==0.50.0\"\nuv pip install \"qiskit-aer==0.17.2\"\n```\n\nDo not install `qiskit-terra`; it was superseded by the `qiskit` distribution. Qiskit Runtime, Aer, Nature, Machine Learning, Optimization, and Algorithms are separate distributions.\n\nFor IBM account setup, CI-safe credential handling, optional packages, and environment repair, read [references\u002Fsetup.md](references\u002Fsetup.md).\n\n## Core Workflow\n\nFollow this sequence for every hardware-oriented workload:\n\n1. **Map** the problem to a circuit and, for Estimator, one or more observables.\n2. **Optimize** the parameterized circuit once for the selected backend.\n3. **Apply the layout** to every observable.\n4. **Execute** ISA circuits through a V2 primitive using Primitive Unified Blocs (PUBs).\n5. **Analyze** register-aware results, metadata, uncertainty, and resource usage.\n\nDo not bind and retranspile a parameterized circuit inside every optimizer iteration. Transpile the parameterized circuit once, then pass parameter arrays in PUBs.\n\n## Quick Local Sampling\n\n```python\nfrom qiskit import QuantumCircuit\nfrom qiskit.primitives import StatevectorSampler\n\ncircuit = QuantumCircuit(2)\ncircuit.h(0)\ncircuit.cx(0, 1)\ncircuit.measure_all()  # creates the classical register named \"meas\"\n\nsampler = StatevectorSampler(seed=7)\npub_result = sampler.run([circuit], shots=1024).result()[0]\ncounts = pub_result.data.meas.get_counts()\nprint(counts)\n```\n\nSampler V2 preserves shots and classical-register structure. Access the register by its actual name; `measure_all()` uses `meas`.\n\nFor circuits with multiple classical registers, each register’s counts are a marginal distribution. Preserve shot alignment when computing cross-register correlations; multiplying marginal frequencies destroys those correlations. Use `SamplerPubResult.join_data` with an explicit register order for joint bitstrings and record that order in the result labels. Qiskit 2.5.2 puts the first joined `BitArray` register in the least-significant bits, contrary to the current docstring; verify with an asymmetric state. See [references\u002Fprimitives.md](references\u002Fprimitives.md).\n\n## Quick Local Estimation\n\n```python\nimport numpy as np\nfrom qiskit import QuantumCircuit\nfrom qiskit.circuit import Parameter\nfrom qiskit.primitives import StatevectorEstimator\nfrom qiskit.quantum_info import SparsePauliOp\n\ntheta = Parameter(\"theta\")\ncircuit = QuantumCircuit(2)\ncircuit.ry(theta, 0)\ncircuit.cx(0, 1)\n\nobservable = SparsePauliOp.from_list([(\"ZZ\", 1.0), (\"XX\", 0.5)])\nparameter_values = [[0.0], [np.pi \u002F 4], [np.pi \u002F 2]]\n\nestimator = StatevectorEstimator(seed=7)\npub = (circuit, observable, parameter_values)\npub_result = estimator.run([pub]).result()[0]\nprint(pub_result.data.evs)\n```\n\nEstimator circuits should not contain final measurements.

Record finalized options (`estimator.finalize_options().model_dump()`), result metadata, and usage. A Runtime `dry_run=True` call is a server submission returning randomized mock data, not a local simulator or scientific validation.\n\n## Non-Negotiable Qiskit 2.x Rules\n\n- Use V2 primitive interfaces and PUB inputs. Do not write new V1 `Sampler`, `Estimator`, or `QuantumInstance` code.\n- Runtime primitives accept ISA circuits; they do not perform layout, routing, and basis translation for you.\n- Apply the transpiler layout to Estimator observables with `observable.apply_layout(isa_circuit.layout)`.\n- Use `mode=backend`, `mode=session`, or `mode=batch` for Runtime primitives.\n- Use the Runtime client-side `Estimator` for resilience levels and expectation-value mitigation. Sampler has different noise-management options and no Estimator-style resilience levels.\n- Treat `BackendV2.target`, `backend.operation_names`, `backend.coupling_map`, and direct backend attributes as the source of hardware constraints. Do not use `backend.configuration()` or `BackendProperties`.\n- Read Sampler output by classical register name. Bitstrings are displayed most-significant bit first; Qiskit qubit 0 is conventionally the least-significant bit.\n- Use a fixed `seed_transpiler` when comparing compilation settings. A simulator seed does not make QPU results deterministic.\n- `qiskit.pulse` was removed in Qiskit 2.0. Use supported fractional gates for IBM hardware. Qiskit Dynamics is archived; isolate legacy pulse-model research and verify its dependency stack separately.\n- QPY is the Qiskit-native circuit serialization format. Do not use Python pickle for untrusted circuit artifacts.\n\nSee [references\u002Fmigration.md](references\u002Fmigration.md) for a detailed old-to-current API map.\n\n## Execution Modes\n\nChoose based on workload shape and account plan:\n\n- **Job mode**: one-off work; instantiate a primitive with `mode=backend`.\n- **Batch mode**: independent jobs submitted together; available on the Open Plan.\n- **Session mode**: iterative jobs that benefit from prioritized follow-on execution; unavailable on the Open Plan.\n\n```python\nfrom qiskit_ibm_runtime import Batch\nfrom qiskit_ibm_runtime.executor_sampler import Sampler\n\nwith Batch(backend=backend, max_time=\"10m\") as batch:\n    sampler = Sampler(mode=batch)\n    jobs = [sampler.run([circuit], shots=1024) for circuit in isa_circuits]\n\nresults = [job.result() for job in jobs]\n```\n\nClose sessions and batches after submission. Exiting their context stops new submissions but allows accepted jobs to finish, subject to service limits.\n\n## Reference Map\n\nRead only the files needed for the current task:\n\n| Topic | Reference |\n|---|---|\n| Versions, installation, authentication, CI | [references\u002Fsetup.md](references\u002Fsetup.md) |\n| Circuits, parameters, control flow, QPY | [references\u002Fcircuits.md](references\u002Fcircuits.md) |\n| V2 PUBs, broadcasting, local and Runtime results | [references\u002Fprimitives.md](references\u002Fprimitives.md) |\n| Targets, ISA circuits, layouts, pass managers | [references\u002Ftranspilation.md](references\u002Ftranspilation.md) |\n| IBM backends, modes, jobs, Aer, mitigation | [references\u002Fbackends.md](references\u002Fbackends.md) |\n| End-to-end map\u002Foptimize\u002Fexecute\u002Fanalyze patterns | [references\u002Fpatterns.md](references\u002Fpatterns.md) |\n| Algorithms, addons, Nature, ML, Optimization | [references\u002Falgorithms.md](references\u002Falgorithms.md) |\n| Circuit, result, state, and backend plots | [references\u002Fvisualization.md](references\u002Fvisualization.md) |\n| Qiskit 0.x\u002F1.x and Runtime migration | [references\u002Fmigration.md](references\u002Fmigration.md) |\n| Testing, reproducibility, and troubleshooting | [references\u002Ftesting.md](references\u002Ftesting.md) |\n| Upstream docs, release notes, and version baseline | [references\u002Fsources.md](references\u002Fsources.md) |\n\n## Bundled Scripts\n\nRun from the skill directory:\n\n```bash\n# Installed-package and legacy-environment checks; no network or credential reads\npython scripts\u002Fcheck_environment.py\n\n# Runnable V2 local Sampler and Estimator example\npython scripts\u002Frun_local_primitives.py --shots 1024 --seed 7\n\n# Read-only IBM backend capability inspection; uses saved credentials\npython scripts\u002Finspect_runtime.py --min-qubits 5\n```\n\nThe Runtime inspection script selects or inspects a backend but never submits a quantum job.\n\n## Final Checklist\n\nBefore returning Qiskit code:\n\n1.

Transpile against the exact `BackendV2` target and inspect depth and two-qubit operations.\n5. Apply the final layout to every observable.\n6. Estimate QPU cost and choose job, batch, or session mode.\n7. Save job IDs, package versions, seeds, backend name, primitive options, and result metadata.\n8.

Confirm package versions and Python compatibility.\n2. Run locally with statevector primitives or Aer.\n3. Verify parameter order, observable qubit count, and classical-register names.\n4. Transpile against the exact `BackendV2` target and inspect depth and two-qubit operations.\n5. Apply the final layout to every observable.\n6. Estimate QPU cost and choose job, batch, or session mode.\n7. Save job IDs, package versions, seeds, backend name, primitive options, and result metadata.\n8. Never expose API keys in source, logs, notebooks, or version control.\n\n## Citing Scientific Agent Skills\n\nThis skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense.
