# Globals

`qiskit_addon_slc.globals`

Global settings.

This module provides a number of globally configurable settings.

### PROGRESS\_POLLING\_PERIOD

The polling period for the progress indicator of the commutator bound task computation.

This number corresponds to the number of seconds to wait between progress indicator updates. It defaults to `5`.

### ZERO\_ATOL

The absolute tolerance value below which terms are considered truly zero and are truncated.

This defaults to the value of `10 * sys.float_info.epsilon`.
