ShotOrder¶
- class ShotOrder(value)[source]¶
Shot order allowed values.
Generally, there are two possible modes in which a backend measures m circuits with n shots:
In the “circuit_first” mode, the backend subsequently first measures all m circuits and then repeats this n times.
In the “shot_first” mode, the backend first measures the 1st circuit n times, then the 2nd circuit n times, and it proceeds with the remaining circuits in the same way until it measures the m-th circuit n times.
The current default mode of IBM Quantum devices is “circuit_first”.
