Creating and submitting a circuit through qiskit-superstaq

import qiskit
import qiskit_superstaq as qss

token = "Insert superstaq token that you received from https://superstaq.infleqtion.com"

superstaq = qss.superstaq_provider.SuperstaqProvider(token)

backend = superstaq.get_backend("ibmq_brisbane_qpu")
qc = qiskit.QuantumCircuit(2, 2)
qc.h(0)
qc.cx(0, 1)
qc.measure(0, 0)
qc.measure(1, 1)

print(qc)

# Submitting a circuit to IBM's Brisbane QPU. Providing the "dry-run" method parameter instructs Superstaq to simulate the circuit, and is available to free trial users.
job = backend.run(qc, shots=100, method="dry-run")
print(job.result().get_counts())
