=====================================
Algorithms (:mod:`qiskit.algorithms`)
=====================================
It contains a collection of quantum algorithms, for use with quantum computers, to
carry out research and investigate how to solve problems in different domains on
near-term quantum devices with short depth circuits.
Algorithms configuration includes the use of :mod:`~qiskit.algorithms.optimizers` which
were designed to be swappable sub-parts of an algorithm. Any component and may be exchanged for
a different implementation of the same component type in order to potentially alter the behavior
and outcome of the algorithm.
Quantum algorithms are run via a :class:`~qiskit.algorithms.QuantumInstance`
which must be set with the
desired backend where the algorithm's circuits will be executed and be configured with a number of
compile and runtime parameters controlling circuit compilation and execution. It ultimately uses
`Terra <https://www.qiskit.org/terra>`__ for the actual compilation and execution of the quantum
circuits created by the algorithm and its components.

Algorithms
==========
It contains a variety of quantum algorithms and these have been grouped by logical function such
as minimum eigensolvers and amplitude amplifiers.

Eigensolvers
------------
Algorithms to find eigenvalues of an operator. For chemistry these can be used to find excited
states of a molecule, and ``qiskit-nature`` has some algorithms that leverage chemistry specific
knowledge to do this in that application domain.
Primitive-based Eigensolvers
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
These algorithms are based on the Qiskit Primitives, a new execution paradigm that replaces the use
of :class:`.QuantumInstance` in algorithms. To ensure continued support and development, we recommend
using the primitive-based Eigensolvers in place of the legacy :class:`.QuantumInstance`-based ones.

Legacy Eigensolvers
+++++++++++++++++++
These algorithms, still based on the :class:`.QuantumInstance`, are superseded
by the primitive-based versions in the section above but are still supported for now.

Time Evolvers
-------------
Algorithms to evolve quantum states in time. Both real and imaginary time evolution is possible
with algorithms that support them. For machine learning, Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution might be
used to train Quantum Boltzmann Machine Neural Networks for example.
