Usage is measured in "seconds" not in "quantum_seconds"
What is the expected feature or enhancement?
Qiskit Runtime usage, or just usage, is defined here or here as:
Usage: Qiskit Runtime used by this job. This usage is the time counted by Qiskit Runtime to process a job, and is determined by the use of internal resources.
but in the API related with estimations, e.g. RuntimeJob.usage_estimation, we are returning quantum_seconds
instead of just seconds
. All measures related with Qiskit Runtime must be seconds
.
Acceptance criteria
Everything related with Qiskit Runtime usage (real or estimated) must be seconds. In a quick search in this repo I found 4 places where we say quantum_seconds
instead of just seconds
.
@raulotaolea are we still moving forward with using "seconds" and not "quantum_seconds"?
@raulotaolea have you reached a conclusion for this?
Closing since quantum_seconds
was ok again
