+    """Generate a preset :class:`~.PassManager`
+
+    This function is used to quickly generate a preset pass manager. Preset pass
+    managers are the default pass managers used by the :func:`~.transpile`
+    function. This function provides a convenient and simple method to construct
+    a standalone :class:`~.PassManager` object that mirrors what the :func:`~.transpile`
+    function internally builds and uses.
+
+    The target constraints for the pass manager construction can be specified through a :class:`.Target`
+    instance, a :class:`.BackendV1` or :class:`.BackendV2` instance, or via loose constraints
+    (``basis_gates``, ``inst_map``, ``coupling_map``, ``backend_properties``, ``instruction_durations``,
+    ``dt`` or ``timing_constraints``).
+    The order of priorities for target constraints works as follows: if a ``target``
+    input is provided, it will take priority over any ``backend`` input or loose constraints.
+    If a ``backend`` is provided together with any loose constraint
+    from the list above, the loose constraint will take priority over the corresponding backend
+    constraint. This behavior is independent of whether the ``backend`` instance is of type
+    :class:`.BackendV1` or :class:`.BackendV2`, as summarized in the table below. The first column
+    in the table summarizes the potential user-provided constraints, and each cell shows whether
+    the priority is assigned to that specific constraint input or another input
+    (`target`/`backend(V1)`/`backend(V2)`).

+
+    Args:
+        optimization_level (int): The optimization level to generate a
+            :class:`~.StagedPassManager` for. By default optimization level 2
+            is used if this is not specified. This can be 0, 1, 2, or 3. Higher
+            levels generate potentially more optimized circuits, at the expense
+            of longer transpilation time:
+
+                * 0: no optimization
+                * 1: light optimization
+                * 2: heavy optimization
+                * 3: even heavier optimization
+
+        backend (Backend): An optional backend object which can be used as the
+            source of the default values for the ``basis_gates``, ``inst_map``,
+            ``coupling_map``, ``backend_properties``, ``instruction_durations``,
+            ``timing_constraints``, and ``target``. If any of those other arguments
+            are specified in addition to ``backend`` they will take precedence
+            over the value contained in the backend.
+        target (Target): The :class:`~.Target` representing a backend compilation
+            target. The following attributes will be inferred from this
+            argument if they are not set: ``coupling_map``, ``basis_gates``,
+            ``instruction_durations``, ``inst_map``, ``timing_constraints``
+            and ``backend_properties``.
+        basis_gates (list): List of basis gate names to unroll to
+            (e.g: ``['u1', 'u2', 'u3', 'cx']``).
+        inst_map (InstructionScheduleMap): DEPRECATED. Mapping object that maps gates to schedules.
+            If any user defined calibration is found in the map and this is used in a
+            circuit, transpiler attaches the custom gate definition to the circuit.
+            This enables one to flexibly override the low-level instruction
+            implementation.
+        coupling_map (CouplingMap or list): Directed graph represented a coupling
+            map. Multiple formats are supported:
+
+            #. ``CouplingMap`` instance
+            #. List, must be given as an adjacency matrix, where each entry
+               specifies all directed two-qubit interactions supported by backend,
+               e.g: ``[[0, 1], [0, 3], [1, 2], [1, 5], [2, 5], [4, 1], [5, 3]]``
+
+        instruction_durations (InstructionDurations or list): Dictionary of duration
+            (in dt) for each instruction. If specified, these durations overwrite the
+            gate lengths in ``backend.properties``. Applicable only if ``scheduling_method``
+            is specified.
+            The format of ``instruction_durations`` must be as follows:
+            They must be given as an :class:`.InstructionDurations` instance or a list of tuples
+
+            ```
+            [(instruction_name, qubits, duration, unit), ...].
+            | [('cx', [0, 1], 12.3, 'ns'), ('u3', [0], 4.56, 'ns')]
+            | [('cx', [0, 1], 1000), ('u3', [0], 300)]
+            ```
+
+            If ``unit`` is omitted, the default is ``'dt'``, which is a sample time depending on backend.
+            If the time unit is ``'dt'``, the duration must be an integer.
+        dt (float): Backend sample time (resolution) in seconds.
+            If provided, this value will overwrite the ``dt`` value in ``instruction_durations``.
+            If ``None`` (default) and a backend is provided, ``backend.dt`` is used.
+        timing_constraints (TimingConstraints): Hardware time alignment restrictions.
+             A quantum computer backend may report a set of restrictions, namely:
+
+                - granularity: An integer value representing minimum pulse gate
+                  resolution in units of ``dt``. A user-defined pulse gate should have
+                  duration of a multiple of this granularity value.
+                - min_length: An integer value representing minimum pulse gate
+                  length in units of ``dt``. A user-defined pulse gate should be longer
+                  than this length.
+                - pulse_alignment: An integer value representing a time resolution of gate
+                  instruction starting time. Gate instruction should start at time which
+                  is a multiple of the alignment value.
+                - acquire_alignment: An integer value representing a time resolution of measure
+                  instruction starting time. Measure instruction should start at time which
+                  is a multiple of the alignment value.
+
+                This information will be provided by the backend configuration.
+                If the backend doesn't have any restriction on the instruction time allocation,
+                then ``timing_constraints`` is None and no adjustment will be performed.
+
+        initial_layout (Layout | List[int]): Initial position of virtual qubits on
+            physical qubits.
+        layout_method (str): The :class:`~.Pass` to use for choosing initial qubit
+            placement. Valid choices are ``'trivial'``, ``'dense'``,
+            and ``'sabre'``, representing :class:`~.TrivialLayout`, :class:`~.DenseLayout` and
+            :class:`~.SabreLayout` respectively. This can also
+            be the external plugin name to use for the ``layout`` stage of the output
+            :class:`~.StagedPassManager`. You can see a list of installed plugins by using
+            :func:`~.list_stage_plugins` with ``"layout"`` for the ``stage_name`` argument.
+        routing_method (str): The pass to use for routing qubits on the
+            architecture. Valid choices are ``'basic'``, ``'lookahead'``, ``'stochastic'``,
+            ``'sabre'``, and ``'none'`` representing :class:`~.BasicSwap`,
+            :class:`~.LookaheadSwap`, :class:`~.StochasticSwap`, :class:`~.SabreSwap`, and
+            erroring if routing is required respectively. This can also be the external plugin
+            name to use for the ``routing`` stage of the output :class:`~.StagedPassManager`.
+            You can see a list of installed plugins by using :func:`~.list_stage_plugins` with
+            ``"routing"`` for the ``stage_name`` argument.
+        translation_method (str): The method to use for translating gates to
+            basis gates. Valid choices ``'translator'``, ``'synthesis'`` representing
+            :class:`~.BasisTranslator`, and :class:`~.UnitarySynthesis` respectively. This can
+            also be the external plugin name to use for the ``translation`` stage of the output
+            :class:`~.StagedPassManager`. You can see a list of installed plugins by using
+            :func:`~.list_stage_plugins` with ``"translation"`` for the ``stage_name`` argument.
+        scheduling_method (str): The pass to use for scheduling instructions. Valid choices
+            are ``'alap'`` and ``'asap'``. This can also be the external plugin name to use
+            for the ``scheduling`` stage of the output :class:`~.StagedPassManager`. You can
+            see a list of installed plugins by using :func:`~.list_stage_plugins` with
+            ``"scheduling"`` for the ``stage_name`` argument.
+        backend_properties (BackendProperties): Properties returned by a
+            backend, including information on gate errors, readout errors,
+            qubit coherence times, etc.
+        approximation_degree (float): Heuristic dial used for circuit approximation
+            (1.0=no approximation, 0.0=maximal approximation).
+        seed_transpiler (int): Sets random seed for the stochastic parts of
+            the transpiler.
+        unitary_synthesis_method (str): The name of the unitary synthesis
+            method to use. By default ``'default'`` is used. You can see a list of
+            installed plugins with :func:`.unitary_synthesis_plugin_names`.
+        unitary_synthesis_plugin_config (dict): An optional configuration dictionary
+            that will be passed directly to the unitary synthesis plugin. By
+            default this setting will have no effect as the default unitary
+            synthesis method does not take custom configuration. This should
+            only be necessary when a unitary synthesis plugin is specified with
+            the ``unitary_synthesis_method`` argument. As this is custom for each
+            unitary synthesis plugin refer to the plugin documentation for how
+            to use this option.
+        hls_config (HLSConfig): An optional configuration class :class:`~.HLSConfig`
+            that will be passed directly to :class:`~.HighLevelSynthesis` transformation pass.
+            This configuration class allows to specify for various high-level objects
+            the lists of synthesis algorithms and their parameters.
+        init_method (str): The plugin name to use for the ``init`` stage of
+            the output :class:`~.StagedPassManager`. By default an external
+            plugin is not used. You can see a list of installed plugins by
+            using :func:`~.list_stage_plugins` with ``"init"`` for the stage
+            name argument.
+        optimization_method (str): The plugin name to use for the
+            ``optimization`` stage of the output
+            :class:`~.StagedPassManager`. By default an external
+            plugin is not used. You can see a list of installed plugins by
+            using :func:`~.list_stage_plugins` with ``"optimization"`` for the

+        qubits_initially_zero (bool): Indicates whether the input circuit is
+                zero-initialized.
+
+    Returns:
