    **Parameters**

    **qubit** (`Union`\[`int`, `List`\[`int`]]) – The qubit to get the `QubitProperties` object for. This can be a single integer for 1 qubit or a list of qubits and a list of `QubitProperties` objects will be returned in the same order

    Run on the fake backend using a simulator.

    This method runs circuit jobs (an individual or a list of QuantumCircuit ) and pulse jobs (an individual or a list of Schedule or ScheduleBlock) using BasicSimulator or Aer simulator and returns a `Job` object.

    If qiskit-aer is installed, jobs will be run using AerSimulator with noise model of the fake backend. Otherwise, jobs will be run using BasicSimulator without noise.

    Currently noisy simulation of a pulse job is not supported yet in FakeBackendV2.

    **Parameters**

    *   **run\_input** (*QuantumCircuit or Schedule or ScheduleBlock or list*) – An individual or a list of `QuantumCircuit`, `ScheduleBlock`, or `Schedule` objects to run on the backend.
    *   **options** – Any kwarg options to pass to the backend for running the config. If a key is also present in the options attribute/object then the expectation is that the value specified will be used instead of what’s set in the options object.

    **Returns**

    The job object for the run

    **Return type**

    Job

    **Raises**

    **QiskitError** – If a pulse job is supplied and qiskit-aer is not installed.
  </Function>

  ### set\_options

  <Function id="qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider.FakePeekskill.set_options" signature="set_options(**fields)">
    Set the options fields for the backend

    This method is used to update the options of a backend. If you need to change any of the options prior to running just pass in the kwarg with the new value for the options.

    **Parameters**

    **fields** – The fields to update the options

    **Raises**

    **AttributeError** – If the field passed in is not part of the options
  </Function>
