        depending if data_reupload is True and parameters_per_layer is given by

            n_qubits (int): The number of qubits in the circuit.
            n_layers (int): The number of layers in the circuit.
            circuit_type (str, Circuit): The type of quantum circuit to use.
                If None, defaults to "no_ansatz".
            data_reupload (bool, optional): Whether to reupload data to the
                quantum device on each measurement. Defaults to True.
            encoding (Union[str, Callable, List[str], List[Callable]], optional):
                The unitary to use for encoding the input data. Can be a string
                (e.g. "RX") or a callable (e.g. qml.RX). Defaults to qml.RX.
                If input is multidimensional it is assumed to be a list of
                unitaries or a list of strings.
            initialization (str, optional): The strategy to initialize the parameters.
                Can be "random", "zeros", "zero-controlled", "pi", or "pi-controlled".

            output_qubit (List[int], int, optional): The index of the output
                qubit (or qubits). When set to -1 all qubits are measured, or a
                global measurement is conducted, depending on the execution
                type.
            shots (Optional[int], optional): The number of shots to use for
                the quantum device. Defaults to None.

                in initialization is "random" and for random noise parameters.
                Defaults to 1000.
