Currently there are two Qiskit "providers" for Qiskit Runtime - qiskit-ibm-runtime and qiskit-ibm-provider. The former supports all channels but does not support backend.run (i.e. primitives only). The latter supports backend.run but only supports IQP channel.

Since we are adding backend.run() to this repo, we will merge the two providers since they'd essentially do the same thing.

This means we will also deprecate and eventually archive qiskit-ibm-provider

  • Make sure there are no instances/uses of qiskit-ibm-provider in this repo

Do you have any estimated timeline?

@1ucian0 The plan is to hold off until v2 Sampler becomes available, which will replace backend.run. So people can migrate from backend.run in ibm-provider directly to Sampler in ibm-runtime.

stop depending on qiskit-ibm-provider

Once Qiskit#1128 gets fully solved, the features from qiskit-ibm-provider that are needed by qiskit-ibm-runtime are going to fully live in this codebase. Therefore, the dependency should be removed.
