qubit_properties

<Function id="qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider.FakePeekskill.qubit_properties" signature="qubit_properties(qubit)"> Return QubitProperties for a given qubit.

If there are no defined or the backend doesn’t support querying these details this method does not need to be implemented.

*   `../fake_provider/backends/{backend_name}/defs_{backend_name}.json`
*   `../fake_provider/backends/{backend_name}/props_{backend_name}.json`

The new data files will persist through sessions so the files will stay updated unless they are manually reverted locally or when `qiskit-ibm-runtime` is upgraded or reinstalled.

<Function id="qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider.FakePeekskill.run" github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime/tree/stable/0.40/qiskit_ibm_runtime/fake_provider/fake_backend.py#L330-L361" signature="run(run_input, **options)"> Run on the fake backend using a simulator.

This method runs circuit jobs (an individual or a list of QuantumCircuit) using BasicSimulator or Aer simulator and returns a [`Job`](/docs/api/qiskit/qiskit.providers.Job) object.

If qiskit-aer is installed, jobs will be run using AerSimulator with noise model of the fake backend. Otherwise, jobs will be run using BasicSimulator without noise.

Currently noisy simulation of a pulse job is not supported yet in FakeBackendV2.

**Parameters**

*   **run\_input** (*QuantumCircuit or list*) – An individual or a list of [`QuantumCircuit`](/docs/api/qiskit/qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit)
*   **options** – Any kwarg options to pass to the backend for running the config. If a key is also present in the options attribute/object then the expectation is that the value specified will be used instead of what’s set in the options object.

**Returns**

The job object for the run

**Return type**

Job

</Function>

set_options

<Function id="qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider.FakePeekskill.set_options" signature="set_options(**fields)"> Set the options fields for the backend

This method is used to update the options of a backend. If you need to change any of the options prior to running just pass in the kwarg with the new value for the options.

**Parameters**

**fields** – The fields to update the options

**Raises**

**AttributeError** – If the field passed in is not part of the options

</Function>

status

<Function id="qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider.FakePeekskill.status" github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime/tree/stable/0.40/qiskit_ibm_runtime/fake_provider/fake_backend.py#L160-L176" signature="status()"> Return the backend status.
