Package versions

The code on this page was developed using the following requirements. We recommend using these versions or newer.

qiskit[all]~=2.4.0
qiskit-ibm-runtime~=0.46.1

The examples in this section illustrate some common ways to use Estimator. Before running these examples, follow the instructions in Install Qiskit.

hinweis

These examples all use the primitives from Qiskit Runtime, but you could use the base primitives instead.

Efficiently calculate and interpret expectation values of the quantum operators required for many algorithms with Estimator. Explore uses in molecular modeling, machine learning, and complex optimization problems.

Run a single experiment

Use Estimator to determine the expectation value of a single circuit-observable pair.
