Prelude

qiskit-ibm-experiment is a Python API for accessing the IBM experiment database, used as part of qiskit-experiments for recording the results of performed experiments.

This new package is built upon the work already done in qiskit-ibmq-provider package and replaces it going forward as the whole package is being deprecated.

qiskit-ibm-experiment is not included as part of Qiskit meta package and thereby you have to

install it separately using pip install qiskit-ibm-experiment.

New Features

  • The service can now be used as a stand-alone without the use of an IBMQ provider. However, such a provider is still required for creating a new experiment entry on the result DB (now for uploading analysis results or figures).

Bug Fixes

  • Error messages when server-related operations fail are no longer misleading.

  • Delete prompt code can now be disabled.

  • Integration tests now filter tests with experiment_type=’qiskit_test’.
