Noise model option for IonQ plugin

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Being able to access IonQ's noisy simulators (not just the ideal one) would be nice. We need an option in the plugin to incorporate selection of the various noise models that IonQ provides.

Currently, ionq:simulator defaults to the ideal simulator and there is no way to select the noise model.

A nice implementation would be the ability to write the noise model name as an option. For example ionq:simulator.harmony would inovke the IonQ Harmony Noisy Quantum Simulator.

This issue has been addressed in PR#39. Thanks @danclaudino :-)
