# IBM Quantum Compute client v0.46.0

## April 2026

- **Introducing the Executor primitive**: We're excited to announce the release of the new `Executor` primitive and a new version of the noise-learning helper class, `NoiseLearnerV3`, both of which were first previewed at QDC 2025.

  Together with [Samplomatic](https://qiskit.github.io/samplomatic/index.html), they make up the [directed execution model](/docs/guides/directed-execution-model), which provides full transparency and control to fine-tune your error mitigation workflow. The [Probabilistic error cancellation with shaded lightcones](https://qiskit.github.io/qiskit-addon-slc/tutorials/01_getting_started.html) tutorial, for example, demonstrates how this model is used to combine advanced techniques, including shaded lightcones, probabilistic error cancellation (PEC), Twirled Readout Error eXtinction (TREX), and [measurement-based postselection](/docs/guides/post-selection), to further improve the result quality.

  If you prefer a higher level of abstraction, [`EstimatorV2`](/docs/guides/estimator-noise-management) in Qiskit Runtime continues to provide several built-in error mitigation and suppression techniques, which you can easily tune using the [`resilience_level`](/docs/guides/estimator-noise-management#resilience-level) option.

  To learn more, see the following guides:

  - [Executor quickstart](/docs/guides/get-started-with-executor)
  - [Noise learning helper](/docs/guides/noise-learning)

  Both of these new features are currently in beta and require `qiskit-ibm-runtime` version 0.47.0 or higher.

## March 2026

- `qiskit-ibm-runtime` v0.46.0 has been released. View bug fixes and other notes since v0.45.0 in the [release notes](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/release-notes#0460-2026-03-23).
