Tasks to implement RFC 0018: Primitive options type change

• Qiskit/qiskit#11542
• Qiskit/qiskit#11594

A derived discussion of #51 about Estimator's representation of error bars:

2. We propose that the error portion of the data should represent error bars on the expectation values, somehow. That is, standard error instead of standard deviation or variance, or possibly, a two-sided confidence interval.

For reference, see:

• #51 (comment)
• #51 (comment)
• #51 (comment)

With the aim to extracting that conversation from the RFC on the details on the how (having agreed on the spirit of the need for some for of error represetation in TaskResult), please continue the discussion in this issue.

This discussion might result in one of the following out comes:

• Amending or extending #51
• An agreement on this issue
• It's own RFC

Now that we have an RFCs repo once we start merging RFCs we need to have a place to host them. We should add hosting via github pages so we can see the rendered output of the RFCs.

Tasks to implement RFC 0012: qiskit.algorithms migration

• Qiskit/qiskit#10406
• Qiskit/qiskit#10682
• Qiskit/qiskit#10516
• Remove module from Qiskit Qiskit/qiskit#10991

Tasks to implement RFC 0020: Qiskit release cycle and versioning

• add some mathematical operations on the operator
• add the methods to help consumption of the operator within the primitives

• Change formats:
  • 0001 to md #33
  • 0003 to md #37
  • 0004 formatting issues #35
  • Aqua Circuit Interoperability Proposal.ipynb to md, as 0005 #36
• Fill the gaps: #38
  • 0008-0011 missing

Tasks to implement RFC 0015: Extended Estimator Interface

• Add reference implementation of EstimatorV2
• Add BackendEstimatorV2

A derived discussion of #51 about implicitly appending extra dimensions for broadcasting.

For reference, see #51 (comment)

With the aim to extracting that conversation from the RFC but keep it alive, please continue the discussion in this issue
