By default, qiskit will do this mapping for you. The choice of mapping depends on the
properties of the circuit, the particular device you are targeting, and the optimization
level that is chosen. The choice of initial layout is extremely important for minimizing the

There are other passes than can be used for the heuristic stage, but are not included in the default

Let's see what layouts are automatically picked at various optimization levels. The circuits
returned by :func:`qiskit.compiler.transpile` are annotated with this initial layout information,
