Describe the fix or the content request.
fixed in #4280
I've realized it is hard to work with the notebooks since it is not explained how and where to obtain the token/crn.
I've added this explaination and also added a fallback to the simulator in case the token is not set
Also the free backend doesn't seem to support the 'with Session:' directive, therefore I've changed that code block as well.
The notebook now runs fine up to 'Part II. Scale it up!' since 'backend.coupling_map' is called and neither the AerSimulator nor the free tier backend seem to support it
For new content requests - if the request is accepted, do you want to write the content?
I will write (or already have written) a draft of the proposed content
Hi @romeokienzler! Thanks for bringing up these issues! A few comments are in order here:
- There are instructions on how to setup your account in the IBM documentation (see here and adjacent pages)
- With tutorials we want users to see how to run a full experiment on hardware, therefore we have been focusing on hardware rather than simulators
- You're right in that Session is not available for open plan user. We should probably add some text to clarify this point but I wouldn't change the code. Sessions have been written specifically for iterative workloads like QAOA so we want to show them in action here.
