Add initial qiskit-neko CI job #1422
Conversation
In Qiskit/qiskit-neko#41 we're updating the default simulator backend plugin used by qiskit-neko to rely on the fake backends provider in the qiskit-ibm-runtime project. A key aspect of qiskit-neko is the reciprocity of testing to maintain compatibility in the qiskit ecosystem (see: https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-neko?tab=readme-ov-file#downstream-usage-in-testing) so to ensure this is maintainable and the interface remains compatible for every project using neko this commit adds a corresponding job to exercise the qiskit-ibm-runtime usage in the tests. However, this is blocked until after Qiskit/qiskit-neko#41 merges as that is needed to fix the test suite. A followup will be needed to add a backend selection to the action configuration so that we can actually use a fake backend. A longer term step we should investigate is adding a qiskit-neko plugin to the repo which would enable using qiskit-ibm-runtime's backends and primitives directly for integration testing with real backends. But that is much longer term and isn't part of this

The current neko failure is dues to an incompatibility in qiskit_algorithms
with scipy>=1.14
, the bug was fixed in main (qiskit-community/qiskit-algorithms@3fb69b3), but neko is pulling the latest released version which doesn't include the fix. I can do a patch release of algorithms, but given the current level of maintenance of the repo, it might make sense considering installing the package from source when running neko.
