BackendData.is_simulator

property BackendData.is_simulator

Returns True given an indication the backend is a simulator

Note

For BackendV2 we sometimes cannot be sure, because it lacks a simulator field, as was present in BackendV1’s configuration. We still check whether the backend inherits FakeBackendV2, for either of its existing implementations in Terra.
