Chapter 10: Executing Circuits Using Qiskit Aer
Aer is a provider of high-performance backends that can be used to execute quantum circuits. The various backend simulators available can be used in unique ways where each can provide various information pertaining to your circuit. Aer also provides a variety of tools that can be leveraged to construct noise models to simulate various errors that occur on real quantum devices. These tools are very helpful should you need to compare the difference between your results from an ideal simulator and that which replicates the effects of noise from a quantum device.
Both the simulators, and tools such as the noise model, will help you understand the reasons for some of the effects on your results as well ...
