[Python] Tests failing when running `builder` tests with all others.

Required prerequisites

• Consult the security policy. If reporting a security vulnerability, do not report the bug using this form. Use the process described in the policy to report the issue.
• Make sure you've read the documentation. Your issue may be addressed there.
• Search the issue tracker to verify that this hasn't already been reported. +1 or comment there if it has.
• If possible, make a PR with a failing test to give us a starting point to work on!

Describe the bug

The builder test seems to be breaking something when run together with all other tests. The issue does not happen when builder tests are run in isolation.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Run: pytest python/tests/backends/ python/tests/custom/ python/tests/domains/ python/tests/handlers/ python/tests/interop/ python/tests/kernel/ python/tests/mlir/ python/tests/mlir/ python/tests/parallel/ python/tests/utils/ python/tests/visualization/ python/tests/builder/

Expected behavior

Tests to pass.

Is this a regression? If it is, put the last known working version (or commit) here.

Not a regression

Environment

• CUDA Quantum version: proto-0.8.0 (https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-quantum a9e2324f6504f02e47a87e1de82c8f31cbb0f46b)
• Python version: 3.12
• Operating system: ubuntu 24.04

Suggestions

No response

Start by running the reported pytest command and compare it with the isolated builder suite. Inspect python/tests/builder/test_NoiseModel.py, especially test_depolarization_channel, and the runtime path shown at build/python/cudaq/runtime/sample.py line 88. Done means the full listed test suite completes without aborting, as the builder suite already does in isolation.
