Port code to Qiskit Serverless
The following example demonstrates how to port existing code to leverage Qiskit Serverless.
Update the experiment
from qiskit.transpiler.preset_passmanagers import generate_preset_pass_manager
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService
from qiskit.circuit.random import random_circuit
qc_random = [(random_circuit(20, 20, measure=True)) for _ in range(30)]
optimization_level = 3
# If you have not previously saved your credentials, follow instructions at
# https://docs.quantum.ibm.com/guides/setup-channel#iqp
# to authenticate with your API token.

backend = service.get_backend(backend_name)
pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(
optimization_level=optimization_level, backend=backend
)

def transpile_parallel(circuit, pass_manager):
"""Distributed transpilation for an abstract circuit into an ISA circuit for a given backend."""
isa_circuit = pass_manager.run(circuit)
return isa_circuit
transpiled_circuits = [

optimization_level = arguments.get("optimization_level")
pass_manager = generate_preset_pass_manager(

)

return isa_circuit
try:

# run distributed tasks as async function
# we get task references as a return type
sample_task_references = [

]
# now we need to collect results from task references
results = get(sample_task_references)
# Return results

Upload to Qiskit Serverless
Follow the instructions on the Introduction to Qiskit Functions page to authenticate with your API token.
from qiskit_ibm_catalog import QiskitServerless, QiskitFunction
# Authenticate to the remote cluster and submit the pattern for remote execution.
serverless = QiskitServerless()
transpile_remote_demo = QiskitFunction(
title="transpile_remote_serverless",
entrypoint="transpile_remote.py",
working_dir="./source_files/",
)
serverless.upload(transpile_remote_demo)
Output
'transpile_remote_serverless'
Remotely run in Qiskit Serverless
from qiskit.circuit.random import random_circuit
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService
# Setup inputs
qc_random = [(random_circuit(20, 20, measure=True)) for _ in range(30)]
backend = "ibm_brisbane"
optimization_level = 3
# Running program
transpile_remote_serverless = serverless.get('transpile_remote_serverless')
job = transpile_remote_serverless.run(
circuits=qc_random,
backend=backend,
optimization_level=optimization_level
)
job.job_id()
Output
'727e921d-512d-4b7d-af97-fe29e93ce7ea'
