        Quantum Instance holds a Qiskit Terra backend as well as configuration for circuit
        transpilation and execution. When provided to an Aqua algorithm the algorithm will
        execute the circuits it needs to run using the instance.

        Args:
            backend (Backend): Instance of selected backend
            shots: Number of repetitions of each circuit, for sampling. If None, the shots are
                extracted from the backend. If the backend has none set, the default is 1024.
            seed_simulator: Random seed for simulators
            basis_gates: List of basis gate names supported by the
                target. Defaults to basis gates of the backend.
            coupling_map (Optional[Union['CouplingMap', List[List]]]):
                Coupling map (perhaps custom) to target in mapping
            initial_layout (Optional[Union['Layout', Dict, List]]):
                Initial layout of qubits in mapping
            pass_manager (Optional['PassManager']): Pass manager to handle how to compile the circuits.
                To run only this pass manager and not the ``bound_pass_manager``, call the
                :meth:`~qiskit.utils.QuantumInstance.transpile` method with the argument
                ``pass_manager=quantum_instance.unbound_pass_manager``.
            bound_pass_manager (Optional['PassManager']): A second pass manager to apply on bound
                circuits only, that is, circuits without any free parameters. To only run this pass
                manager and not ``pass_manager`` call the
                :meth:`~qiskit.utils.QuantumInstance.transpile` method with the argument
                ``pass_manager=quantum_instance.bound_pass_manager``.
                manager should also be run.
            seed_transpiler: The random seed for circuit mapper
            optimization_level: How much optimization to perform on the circuits.
                Higher levels generate more optimized circuits, at the expense of longer
                transpilation time.
            backend_options: All running options for backend, please refer
                to the provider of the backend for information as to what options it supports.
            noise_model (Optional['NoiseModel']): noise model for simulator
            timeout: Seconds to wait for job. If None, wait indefinitely.
            wait: Seconds between queries for job result
            skip_qobj_validation: Bypass Qobj validation to decrease circuit
                processing time during submission to backend.
            measurement_error_mitigation_cls: The approach to mitigate
                measurement errors. The classes :class:`~qiskit.utils.mitigation.CompleteMeasFitter`
                or :class:`~qiskit.utils.mitigation.TensoredMeasFitter` from the
                :mod:`qiskit.utils.mitigation` module can be used here as exact values, not
                instances. ``TensoredMeasFitter`` doesn't support the ``subset_fitter`` method.
            cals_matrix_refresh_period: How often to refresh the calibration
                matrix in measurement mitigation. in minutes
            measurement_error_mitigation_shots: The number of shots number for
                building calibration matrix. If None, the main `shots` parameter value is used.
            job_callback: Optional user supplied callback which can be used
                to monitor job progress as jobs are submitted for processing by an Aqua algorithm.
                The callback is provided the following arguments: `job_id, job_status,
                queue_position, job`
            mit_pattern: Qubits on which to perform the TensoredMeasFitter
                measurement correction, divided to groups according to tensors.
                If `None` and `qr` is given then assumed to be performed over the entire
                `qr` as one group (default `None`).
            max_job_retries(int): positive non-zero number of trials for the job set (-1 for
                infinite trials) (default: 50)

        Raises:
            QiskitError: the shots exceeds the maximum number of shots
            QiskitError: set noise model but the backend does not support that
