I wonder if we want to make this a feature of BaseExperiment rather than a mixin. I am not sure what the variable should be called but experiments could set something like layout_and_translate_only = True and if BaseExperiment._transpiled_circuits could just do the code here in that case.

Don't you at least want to set optimization_level? Better than that, could we create a pass manager with just BasisTranslator here?

Could we quickly check for custom pulse gates as well? I think that is the one other pass that users sometimes want for QE (though in the future that will probably go away).

Would the equivalent of this make sense in Qiskit as a SimpleLayout pass? I have not understood why the simplest layout in Qiskit has to be four stages and involve ancilla expansion like it does.

Summary
Call to Qiskit transpiler is overkill for simple experiment that directly creates ISA circuits, like T1 and T2 experiment. This PR adds a mixin class that automatically implements
_transpiled_circuits()method that only maps virtual qubit index to physical qubit index without invoking the computationally heavy transpiler.Details and comments
