IBM Launches Directed Execution Model and Executor Primitive to Give Researchers Client-Side Control Over QEC Workflows

IBM Quantum has launched a new directed execution model with the Executor primitive in qiskit-ibm-runtime v0.50.0. This framework shifts error mitigation to the client side, giving researchers greater control over quantum error correction (QEC) workflows. It allows for custom control over circuit transformations and error-correction pipelines, improving efficiency and transparency for quantum algorithm developers and QEC researchers.
