Description
Qiskit supports a BackendProperties model that includes information about the quantum device, such as numbers of qubits and T1/T2. It would be great to support that here for the IonQ and Honeywell backends.
More info here:

Azure Quantum device specs can be found here:

Research direction
Start by reviewing the IonQ and Honeywell backend entry points and the linked Qiskit BackendProperties model, then compare the Azure Quantum device specifications in the two linked provider documents. Done means both backends expose the relevant device properties consistently, with coverage for the supported fields.
