The uploaded version of the Circuit is called a Program. Programs are not the Python code itself, but a representation of the Circuit suitable for running on hardware. The `Engine` class and its corresponding `sampler` will translate the circuit into the format needed by the API for you. You will need to make sure that your circuit uses only gates and qubits compatible with the hardware (see `cirq_google.optimized_for_sycamore()` to help with this).\n",
