1101

Qobj does not conform to the schema.

Verify the Qobj for your job conforms to the Qobj schema.

1102

The number of experiments in the Qobj is higher than the number of experiments supported by the backend.

Split the experiments into multiple jobs. The maximum number of experiments the backend supports can be found in its configuration data.

1103
