The steps are as follows:
- Map the problem to Circuits and operators
- Optimize the circuit, i.e. reduce the depths, the depth here is the amount of operations done on a qubit
- Execute it on backend
- Post-process the result

A primitive
the smallest building block that can build something, dependant on every abstracition level
They appear as a black box for their user.
The output of a circuit is a probability distribution ?
Ex; in pytorch, a linear leayer is a primitive for me
