Technical requirements

In this chapter, it is expected that you have some understanding of the effects of noise on electronic systems and how to simulate them on a quantum computer. This chapter will cover some refreshers on simulating noise; however, the recommendation for you is to review Chapter 10, Executing Circuits Using Qiskit Aer, to get an understanding of how to simulate noise on a simulator from the configuration information of a quantum computer. This will help you understand an end-to-end scenario to simulate and mitigate errors on a simulator based on a quantum computer. The results of the simulation will provide information that will be leveraged to mitigate your circuit results after executing your circuit on a quantum computer.
