Qiskit Ibm Runtime 0.47.0

New Features

• Added the Executor and QuantumProgram classes, which allow taking full advantage of the set of
  capabilities offered by the Samplomatic package.

• Added the NoiseLearnerV3 class to learn the noise of instructions that contain annotated boxes.

• Added a script to fetch configuration and properties of a real backend.

• One new fake backend, FakeKingston, has been added. This is a 156-qubit Heron r2 device. 2711

• The interactions with the IBM Cloud Platform services (which happen during
  QiskitRuntimeService instantation, with the service names global_search,
  global_catalog and resource_controller) now adhere to the
  IBM Cloud SDK configuration mechanisms,
  allowing for custom configuration to be passed via environment variables or credential files. 2712

• Added draw_chunk_timings to qiskit_ibm_runtime.visualization for plotting
  the execution timing of one or more instances of the new chunk timings container class,
  ChunkTiming, on an interactive barchart. A convenience ChunkTiming.draw
  method is also available for the single-result case via job.result().timing.draw(). 2727

• Building on top of the fake backend snapshot script introduced in 2711
  the script now also generates __init__.py and fake_<backend_name>.py
  files for each backend, and adds a new -a/--account argument
  to select a named account when fetching backend data from different cloud
  regions (for example, us-east versus eu-de).

  Using this updated script, the following missing fake backends have been added:
  FakeAachen, FakeBerlin, FakeBoston, FakeBrussels,
  FakeMiami, FakePittsburgh, and FakeStrasbourg. 2736

Upgrade Notes

• The RuntimeJobV2.result() and RuntimeJobV2.wait_for_final_state() methods now accept an
  optional poll_interval parameter, which allows customizing the interval between requests to the
  service. The default is now 0.5 seconds for non-session jobs, and 0.1 seconds for session
  jobs. 2762

Deprecation Notes

• The Python package extras have been refactored:

  • common and documentation are deprecated, and will be removed in v0.48.
  • performance has been introduced for optional non-developer dependencies that provide
    additional performance or functionality.
  • The development dependencies now have finer granularity (style, style_local, test,
    doc), with the dev extra continuing to allow a full development suite to be installed. 2707

Bug Fixes

• The proxies and ssl_verification arguments for QiskitRuntimeService are now propagated to the underlying HTTP requests to GlobalSearchV2, GlobalCatalogV1, and IAMAuthenticator services, allowing to instantiate QiskitRuntimeService correctly when using a proxy. 2592
• Added ability to specify calibration_id and use_fractional_gates when initializing a session from a session_id.
  This fixes known bugs, namely that instantiating a Session object via from_id does not preserve the value of
  calibration_id set during the initial instantiation of the original Session nor the the value of use_fractional_gates
  set during the initial instantiation of the backend. 2652
• NoiseLearner.run() now correctly supports generators, map,
  filter, generator expressions, and other single-pass iterators.
  Previously these were exhausted after the initial type check, causing
  jobs to be submitted with zero circuits. 2759
