 A `QPROGRAM` is "something which a quantum computer inputs" and a `QuantumResult` is "something which a quantum computer outputs." The latter is canonically a bitstring for real quantum hardware, but can be other objects for testing, e.g. a density matrix.

 In error mitigation techniques, you can provide an observable to specify the expectation value to mitigate.

+As note in the [executor documentation](./executors.md#the-input-function), the executor must be annotated with the appropriate type hinting for the return type.
