+=============================================
+Providers Interface (:mod:`qiskit.providers`)
+=============================================
+
+.. currentmodule:: qiskit.providers
+
+This module contains the classes used to build external providers for Qiskit. A
+provider is anything that provides an external service to Qiskit. The typical
+example of this is a Backend provider which provides
+:class:`~qiskit.providers.Backend` objects which can be used for executing
+:class:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit`
+objects. This module contains the abstract classes which are used to define the
+interface between a provider and Qiskit.
+
+Version Support
+===============
+
+Each providers interface abstract class is individually versioned. When we
+need to make a change to an interface a new abstract class will be created to
+define the new interface. These interface changes are not guaranteed to be
+backwards compatible between versions.
+
+Version Changes
+----------------
+
+Each minor version release of ``qiskit`` **may** increment the version of any
+backend interface a single version number. It will be an aggregate of all
+the interface changes for that release on that interface.
+
+Version Support Policy
+----------------------
+
+To enable providers to have time to adjust to changes in this interface
+Qiskit will support multiple versions of each class at once. Given the
+nature of one version per release the version deprecation policy is a bit
+more conservative than the standard deprecation policy. Qiskit will support a
+provider interface version for a minimum of 3 minor releases or the first
+release after 6 months from the release that introduced a version, whichever is
+longer, prior to a potential deprecation. After that the standard deprecation
+policy will apply to that interface version. This will give providers and users
+sufficient time to adapt to potential breaking changes in the interface. So for
+example lets say in 0.19.0 ``BackendV2`` is introduced and in the 3 months after
+the release of 0.19.0 we release 0.20.0, 0.21.0, and 0.22.0, then 7 months after
+0.19.0 we release 0.23.0. In 0.23.0 we can deprecate BackendV2, and it needs to
+still be supported and can't be removed until the deprecation policy completes.
+
+It's worth pointing out that Qiskit's version support policy doesn't mean
+providers themselves will have the same support story, they can (and arguably
+should) update to newer versions as soon as they can, the support window is
+just for Qiskit's supported versions. Part of this lengthy window prior to
+deprecation is to give providers enough time to do their own deprecation of a
+potential end user impacting change in a user facing part of the interface
+prior to bumping their version. For example, let's say we changed the signature
+to ``Backend.run()`` in ``BackendV34`` in a backwards incompatible way. Before
+Aer could update its :class:`~qiskit_aer.AerSimulator` class
+to be based on version 34 they'd need to deprecate the old signature prior to switching
+over. The changeover for Aer is not guaranteed to be lockstep with Qiskit, so we
+need to ensure there is a sufficient amount of time for Aer to complete its
+deprecation cycle prior to removing version 33 (ie making version 34
+mandatory/the minimum version).

+
+Writing a New Backend
+=====================
+
+If you have a quantum device or simulator that you would like to integrate with
+Qiskit you will need to write a backend. A provider is a collection of backends
+and will provide Qiskit with a
+method to get available :class:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2` objects. The
+:class:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2` object provides both information describing
+a backend and its operation for the :mod:`~qiskit.transpiler` so that circuits
+can be compiled to something that is optimized and can execute on the
+backend. It also provides the :meth:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method which can
+run the :class:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit` objects. This enables users and other Qiskit
+APIs to get results from
+executing circuits on devices in a standard
+fashion regardless of how the backend is implemented. At a high level the basic
+steps for writing a provider are:
+
+ * Implement a ``Provider`` class that handles access to the backend(s).
+ * Implement a :class:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2` subclass and its
+   :meth:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method.
+
+   * Add any custom gates for the backend's basis to the session
+     :class:`~qiskit.circuit.EquivalenceLibrary` instance.
+
+ * Implement a :class:`~qiskit.providers.JobV1` subclass that handles
+   interacting with a running job.
+
+For a simple example of a provider, see the
+`qiskit-aqt-provider <https://github.com/qiskit-community/qiskit-aqt-provider>`__
+
+Provider
+--------
+
+A provider class serves a single purpose: to get backend objects that enable
+executing circuits on a device or simulator. The expectation is that any
+required credentials and/or authentication will be handled in the initialization
+of a provider object. The provider object will then provide a list of backends,
+and methods to filter and acquire backends (using the provided credentials if
+required). An example provider class looks like::
+
+    from qiskit.providers.providerutils import filter_backends
+
+    from .backend import MyBackend
+
+    class MyProvider:
+
+        def __init__(self, token=None):
+            super().__init__()
+            self.token = token
+            self.backends = [MyBackend(provider=self)]
+
+        def backends(self, name=None, **kwargs):
+            if name:
+                backends = [
+                    backend for backend in backends if backend.name() == name]
+            return filter_backends(backends, filters=filters, **kwargs)
+
+Ensure that any necessary information for
+authentication (if required) are present in the class and that the backends
+method matches the required interface. The rest is up to the specific provider on how to implement.
+
+Backend
+-------
+
+The backend classes are the core to the provider. These classes are what
+provide the interface between Qiskit and the hardware or simulator that will
+execute circuits. This includes providing the necessary information to
+describe a backend to the compiler so that it can embed and optimize any
+circuit for the backend. There are 4 required things in every backend object: a
+:attr:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.target` property to define the model of the
+backend for the compiler, a :attr:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.max_circuits`
+property to define a limit on the number of circuits the backend can execute in
+a single batch job (if there is no limit ``None`` can be used), a
+:meth:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method to accept job submissions, and
+a :obj:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2._default_options` method to define the
+user configurable options and their default values. For example, a minimum working
+example would be something like::
+
+    from qiskit.providers import BackendV2 as Backend
+    from qiskit.transpiler import Target
+    from qiskit.providers import Options
+    from qiskit.circuit import Parameter, Measure
+    from qiskit.circuit.library import PhaseGate, SXGate, UGate, CXGate, IGate
+
+
+    class Mybackend(Backend):
+
+        def __init__(self):
+            super().__init__()
+
+            # Create Target
+            self._target = Target("Target for My Backend")
+            # Instead of None for this and below instructions you can define
+            # a qiskit.transpiler.InstructionProperties object to define properties
+            # for an instruction.
+            lam = Parameter("λ")
+            p_props = {(qubit,): None for qubit in range(5)}
+            self._target.add_instruction(PhaseGate(lam), p_props)
+            sx_props = {(qubit,): None for qubit in range(5)}
+            self._target.add_instruction(SXGate(), sx_props)
+            phi = Parameter("φ")
+            theta = Parameter("ϴ")
+            u_props = {(qubit,): None for qubit in range(5)}
+            self._target.add_instruction(UGate(theta, phi, lam), u_props)
+            cx_props = {edge: None for edge in [(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)]}
+            self._target.add_instruction(CXGate(), cx_props)
+            meas_props = {(qubit,): None for qubit in range(5)}
+            self._target.add_instruction(Measure(), meas_props)
+            id_props = {(qubit,): None for qubit in range(5)}
+            self._target.add_instruction(IGate(), id_props)
+
+            # Set option validators
+            self.options.set_validator("shots", (1, 4096))
+            self.options.set_validator("memory", bool)
+
+        @property
+        def target(self):
+            return self._target
+
+        @property
+        def max_circuits(self):
+            return 1024
+
+        @classmethod
+        def _default_options(cls):
+            return Options(shots=1024, memory=False)
+
+        def run(circuits, **kwargs):
+            # serialize circuits submit to backend and create a job
+            for kwarg in kwargs:
+                if not hasattr(kwarg, self.options):
+                    warnings.warn(
+                        "Option %s is not used by this backend" % kwarg,
+                        UserWarning, stacklevel=2)
+            options = {
+                'shots': kwargs.get('shots', self.options.shots),
+                'memory': kwargs.get('memory', self.options.shots),
+            }
+            job_json = convert_to_wire_format(circuit, options)
+            job_handle = submit_to_backend(job_jsonb)
+            return MyJob(self. job_handle, job_json, circuit)
+
+
+Backend's Transpiler Interface
+------------------------------
+
+The key piece of the :class:`~qiskit.providers.Backend` object is how it describes itself to the
+compiler. This is handled with the :class:`~qiskit.transpiler.Target` class which defines
+a model of a backend for the transpiler. A backend object will need to return
+a :class:`~qiskit.transpiler.Target` object from the :attr:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.target`
+attribute which the :func:`~qiskit.compiler.transpile` function will use as
+its model of a backend target for compilation.
+
+.. _custom_basis_gates:
+
+Custom Basis Gates
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+1. If your backend doesn't use gates in the Qiskit circuit library
+   (:mod:`qiskit.circuit.library`) you can integrate support for this into your
+   provider. The basic method for doing this is first to define a
+   :class:`~qiskit.circuit.Gate` subclass for each custom gate in the basis
+   set. For example::
+
+       import numpy as np
+
+       from qiskit.circuit import Gate
+       from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit
+
+       class SYGate(Gate):
+           def __init__(self, label=None):
+               super().__init__("sy", 1, [], label=label)
+
+           def _define(self):
+               qc = QuantumCircuit(1)
+               qc.ry(np.pi / 2, 0)
+               self.definition = qc
+
+   The key thing to ensure is that for any custom gates in your Backend's basis set
+   your custom gate's name attribute (the first param on
+   ``super().__init__()`` in the ``__init__`` definition above) does not conflict
+   with the name of any other gates. The name attribute is what is used to
+   identify the gate in the basis set for the transpiler. If there is a conflict
+   the transpiler will not know which gate to use.
+
+2. Add the custom gate to the target for your backend. This can be done with
+   the :meth:`.Target.add_instruction` method. You'll need to add an instance of
+   ``SYGate`` and its parameters to the target so the transpiler knows it
+   exists. For example, assuming this is part of your
+   :class:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2` implementation for your backend::
+
+       from qiskit.transpiler import InstructionProperties
+
+       sy_props = {
+           (0,): InstructionProperties(duration=2.3e-6, error=0.0002)
+           (1,): InstructionProperties(duration=2.1e-6, error=0.0001)
+           (2,): InstructionProperties(duration=2.5e-6, error=0.0003)
+           (3,): InstructionProperties(duration=2.2e-6, error=0.0004)
+       }
+       self.target.add_instruction(SYGate(), sy_props)
+
+   The keys in ``sy_props`` define the qubits where the backend ``SYGate`` can
+   be used on, and the values define the properties of ``SYGate`` on that
+   qubit. For multiqubit gates the tuple keys contain all qubit combinations
+   the gate works on (order is significant, i.e. ``(0, 1)`` is different from
+   ``(1, 0)``).
+
+3. After you've defined the custom gates to use for the backend's basis set
+   then you need to add equivalence rules to the standard equivalence library
+   so that the :func:`~qiskit.compiler.transpile` function and
+   :mod:`~qiskit.transpiler` module can convert an arbitrary circuit using the
+   custom basis set. This can be done by defining equivalent circuits, in terms
+   of the custom gate, for standard gates. Typically if you can convert from a
+   :class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.CXGate` (if your basis doesn't include a
+   standard 2 qubit gate) and some commonly used single qubit rotation gates like
+   the :class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.HGate` and
+   :class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.UGate` that should be sufficient for the
+   transpiler to translate any circuit into the custom basis gates. But, the more
+   equivalence rules that are defined from standard gates to your basis the more
+   efficient translation from an arbitrary circuit to the target basis will be
+   (although not always, and there is a diminishing margin of return).
+
+   For example, if you were to add some rules for the above custom ``SYGate``
+   we could define the :class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.U2Gate` and
+   :class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.HGate`::
+
+       from qiskit.circuit.equivalence_library import SessionEquivalenceLibrary
+       from qiskit.circuit.library import HGate
+       from qiskit.circuit.library import ZGate
+       from qiskit.circuit.library import RZGate
+       from qiskit.circuit.library import U2Gate
+
+
+       # H => Z SY
+       q = qiskit.QuantumRegister(1, "q")
+       def_sy_h = qiskit.QuantumCircuit(q)
+       def_sy_h.append(ZGate(), [q[0]], [])
+       def_sy_h.append(SYGate(), [q[0]], [])
+       SessionEquivalenceLibrary.add_equivalence(
+           HGate(), def_sy_h)
+
+       # u2 => Z SY Z
+       phi = qiskit.circuit.Parameter('phi')
+       lam = qiskit.circuit.Parameter('lambda')
+       q = qiskit.QuantumRegister(1, "q")
+       def_sy_u2 = qiskit.QuantumCircuit(q)
+       def_sy_u2.append(RZGate(lam), [q[0]], [])
+       def_sy_u2.append(SYGate(), [q[0]], [])
+       def_sy_u2.append(RZGate(phi), [q[0]], [])
+       SessionEquivalenceLibrary.add_equivalence(
+           U2Gate(phi, lam), def_sy_u2)
+
+
+   You will want this to be run on import so that as soon as the provider's
+   package is imported it will be run. This will ensure that any time the
+   :class:`~qiskit.transpiler.passes.BasisTranslator` pass is run with the
+   custom gates the equivalence rules are defined.
+
+   It's also worth noting that depending on the basis you're using, some optimization
+   passes in the transpiler, such as
+   :class:`~qiskit.transpiler.passes.Optimize1qGatesDecomposition`, may not
+   be able to operate with your custom basis. For our ``SYGate`` example, the
+   :class:`~qiskit.transpiler.passes.Optimize1qGatesDecomposition` will not be
+   able to simplify runs of single qubit gates into the SY basis. This is because
+   the :class:`~qiskit.quantum_info.OneQubitEulerDecomposer` class does not
+   know how to work in the SY basis. To solve this the ``SYGate`` class would
+   need to be added to Qiskit and
+   :class:`~qiskit.quantum_info.OneQubitEulerDecomposer` updated to support
+   decomposing to the ``SYGate``. Longer term that is likely a better direction
+   for custom basis gates and contributing the definitions and support in the
+   transpiler will ensure that it continues to be well supported by Qiskit
+   moving forward.
+
+.. _custom_transpiler_backend:
+
+Custom Transpiler Passes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The transpiler supports the ability for backends to provide custom transpiler
+stage implementations to facilitate hardware specific optimizations and
+circuit transformations. Currently there are two stages supported,
+``get_translation_stage_plugin()`` and ``get_scheduling_stage_plugin()``
+which allow a backend to specify string plugin names to be used as the default
+translation and scheduling stages, respectively. These
+hook points in a :class:`~.BackendV2` class can be used if your
+backend has requirements for compilation that are not met by the
+current backend/:class:`~.Target` interface.  Please also consider
+submitting a Github issue describing your use case as there is interest
+in improving these interfaces to be able to describe more hardware
+architectures in greater depth.
+
+To leverage these hook points you just need to add the methods to your
+:class:`~.BackendV2` implementation and have them return a string plugin name.
+For example::
+
+
+    class Mybackend(BackendV2):
+
+        def get_scheduling_stage_plugin(self):
+            return "SpecialDD"
+
+        def get_translation_stage_plugin(self):
+            return "BasisTranslatorWithCustom1qOptimization"
+
+This snippet of a backend implementation will now have the :func:`~.transpile`
+function use the ``SpecialDD`` plugin for the scheduling stage and
+the ``BasisTranslatorWithCustom1qOptimization`` plugin for the translation
+stage by default when the target is set to ``Mybackend``. Note that users may override these choices
+by explicitly selecting a different plugin name. For this interface to work though transpiler
+stage plugins must be implemented for the returned plugin name. You can refer
+to :mod:`qiskit.transpiler.preset_passmanagers.plugin` module documentation for
+details on how to implement plugins. The typical expectation is that if your backend
+requires custom passes as part of a compilation stage the provider package will
+include the transpiler stage plugins that use those passes. However, this is not
+required and any valid method (from a built-in method or external plugin) can
+be used.
+
+This way if these two compilation steps are **required** for running or providing
+efficient output on ``Mybackend`` the transpiler will be able to perform these
+custom steps without any manual user input.
+
+.. _providers-guide-real-time-variables:
+
+Real-time variables
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The transpiler will automatically handle real-time typed classical variables (see
+:mod:`qiskit.circuit.classical`) and treat the :class:`.Store` instruction as a built-in
+"directive", similar to :class:`.Barrier`.  No special handling from backends is necessary to permit
+this.
+
+If your backend is *unable* to handle classical variables and storage, we recommend that you comment
+on this in your documentation, and insert a check into your :meth:`~.BackendV2.run` method (see
+:ref:`providers-guide-backend-run`) to eagerly reject circuits containing them.  You can examine
+:attr:`.QuantumCircuit.num_vars` for the presence of variables at the top level.  If you accept
+:ref:`control-flow operations <circuit-control-flow-repr>`, you might need to recursively search the
+internal :attr:`~.ControlFlowOp.blocks` of each for scope-local variables with
+:attr:`.QuantumCircuit.num_declared_vars`.
+
+For example, a function to check for the presence of any manual storage locations, or manual stores
+to memory::
+
+    from qiskit.circuit import Store, ControlFlowOp, QuantumCircuit
+
+    def has_realtime_logic(circuit: QuantumCircuit) -> bool:
+        if circuit.num_vars:
+            return True
+        for instruction in circuit.data:
+            if isinstance(instruction.operation, Store):
+                return True
+            elif isinstance(instruction.operation, ControlFlowOp):
+                for block in instruction.operation.blocks:
+                    if has_realtime_logic(block):
+                        return True
+        return False
+
+.. _providers-guide-backend-run:
+
+Backend.run Method
+------------------
+
+Of key importance is the :meth:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method, which
+is used to actually submit circuits to a device or simulator. The run method
+handles submitting the circuits to the backend to be executed and returning a
+:class:`~qiskit.providers.Job` object. Depending on the type of backend this
+typically involves serializing the circuit object into the API format used by a
+backend. For example, on IBM backends from the ``qiskit-ibm-provider``
+package this involves converting from a quantum circuit and options into a
+:mod:`.qpy` payload embedded in JSON and submitting that to the IBM Quantum
+API. Since every backend interface is different (and in the case of the local
+simulators serialization may not be needed) it is expected that the backend's
+:obj:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method will handle this conversion.
+
+An example run method would be something like::
+
+    def run(self, circuits. **kwargs):
+        for kwarg in kwargs:
+            if not hasattr(kwarg, self.options):
+                warnings.warn(
+                    "Option %s is not used by this backend" % kwarg,
+                    UserWarning, stacklevel=2)
+        options = {
+            'shots': kwargs.get('shots', self.options.shots)
+            'memory': kwargs.get('memory', self.options.shots),
+        }
+        job_json = convert_to_wire_format(circuit, options)
+        job_handle = submit_to_backend(job_jsonb)
+        return MyJob(self. job_handle, job_json, circuit)
+
+Backend Options
+---------------
+
+There are often several options for a backend that control how a circuit is run.
+The typical example of this is something like the number of ``shots`` which is
+how many times the circuit is to be executed. The options available for a
+backend are defined using an :class:`~qiskit.providers.Options` object. This
+object is initially created by the
+:obj:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2._default_options` method of a Backend class.
+The default options returns an initialized :class:`~qiskit.providers.Options`
+object with all the default values for all the options a backend supports. For
+example, if the backend supports only supports ``shots`` the
+:obj:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2._default_options` method would look like::
+
+    @classmethod
+    def _default_options(cls):
+        return Options(shots=1024)
+
+You can also set validators on an :class:`~qiskit.providers.Options` object to
+provide limits and validation on user provided values based on what's acceptable
+for your backend. For example, if the ``"shots"`` option defined above can be set
+to any value between 1 and 4096 you can set the validator on the options object
+for you backend with::
+
+    self.options.set_validator("shots", (1, 4096))
+
+you can refer to the :meth:`~qiskit.providers.Options.set_validator` documentation
+for a full list of validation options.
+
+
+Job
+---
+
+The output from the :obj:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method is a :class:`~qiskit.providers.JobV1`
+object. Each provider is expected to implement a custom job subclass that
+defines the behavior for the provider. There are 2 types of jobs depending on
+the backend's execution method, either a sync or async. By default jobs are
+considered async and the expectation is that it represents a handle to the
+async execution of the circuits submitted with ``Backend.run()``. An async
+job object provides users the ability to query the status of the execution,
+cancel a running job, and block until the execution is finished. The
+:obj:`~qiskit.providers.JobV1.result` is the primary user facing method
+which will block until the execution is complete and then will return a
+:class:`~qiskit.result.Result` object with results of the job.
+
+For some backends (mainly local simulators) the execution of circuits is a
+synchronous operation and there is no need to return a handle to a running job
+elsewhere. For sync jobs its expected that the
+:obj:`~qiskit.providers.BackendV2.run` method on the backend will block until a
+:class:`~qiskit.result.Result` object is generated and the sync job will return
+with that inner :class:`~qiskit.result.Result` object.
+
+An example job class for an async API based backend would look something like::
+
+    from qiskit.providers import JobV1 as Job
+    from qiskit.providers import JobError
+    from qiskit.providers import JobTimeoutError
+    from qiskit.providers.jobstatus import JobStatus
+    from qiskit.result import Result
+
+
+    class MyJob(Job):
+        def __init__(self, backend, job_id, job_json, circuits):
+            super().__init__(backend, job_id)
+            self._backend = backend
+            self.job_json = job_json
+            self.circuits = circuits
+
+        def _wait_for_result(self, timeout=None, wait=5):
+            start_time = time.time()
+            result = None
+            while True:
+                elapsed = time.time() - start_time
+                if timeout and elapsed >= timeout:
+                    raise JobTimeoutError('Timed out waiting for result')
+                result = get_job_status(self._job_id)
+                if result['status'] == 'complete':
+                    break
+                if result['status'] == 'error':
+                    raise JobError('Job error')
+                time.sleep(wait)
+            return result
+
+        def result(self, timeout=None, wait=5):
+            result = self._wait_for_result(timeout, wait)
+            results = [{'success': True, 'shots': len(result['counts']),
+                        'data': result['counts']}]
+            return Result.from_dict({
+                'results': results,
+                'backend_name': self._backend.configuration().backend_name,
+                'backend_version': self._backend.configuration().backend_version,
+                'job_id': self._job_id,
+                'success': True,
+            })
+
+        def status(self):
+            result = get_job_status(self._job_id)
+            if result['status'] == 'running':
+                status = JobStatus.RUNNING
+            elif result['status'] == 'complete':
+                status = JobStatus.DONE
+            else:
+                status = JobStatus.ERROR
+            return status
+
+    def submit(self):
+        raise NotImplementedError
+
+and for a sync job::
+
+    class MySyncJob(Job):
+        _async = False
+
+        def __init__(self, backend, job_id, result):
+            super().__init__(backend, job_id)
+            self._result = result
+
+        def submit(self):
+            return
+
+        def result(self):
+            return self._result
+
+        def status(self):
+            return JobStatus.DONE
+
+Primitives
+----------
+
+While not directly part of the provider interface, the :mod:`qiskit.primitives`
+module is tightly coupled with providers. Specifically the primitive
+interfaces, such as :class:`~.BaseSampler` and :class:`~.BaseEstimator`,
+are designed to enable provider implementations to provide custom
+implementations which are optimized for the provider's backends. This can
+include customizations like circuit transformations, additional pre- and
+post-processing, batching, caching, error mitigation, etc. The concept of
+the :mod:`qiskit.primitives` module is to explicitly enable this as the
+primitive objects are higher level abstractions to produce processed higher
+level outputs (such as probability distributions and expectation values)
+that abstract away the mechanics of getting the best result efficiently, to
+concentrate on higher level applications using these outputs.
+
+For example, if your backends were well suited to leverage
+`mthree <https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-addon-mthree>`__ measurement
+mitigation to improve the quality of the results, you could implement a
+provider-specific :class:`~.Sampler` implementation that leverages the
+``M3Mitigation`` class internally to run the circuits and return
+quasi-probabilities directly from mthree in the result. Doing this would
+enable algorithms to get the best results with
+mitigation applied directly from your backends. You can refer to the
+documentation in :mod:`qiskit.primitives` on how to write custom
+implementations. Also, the built-in implementations: :class:`~.Sampler`,
+:class:`~.Estimator`, :class:`~.BackendSampler`, and :class:`~.BackendEstimator`
+can serve as references/models on how to implement these as well.
