Quantify can now be used with LabOne Q and Zurich Instruments hardware.
Whether you’re researching superconducting, spin or diamond NV center qubits, you’ve probably explored using quantify. Quantify is an open-source, Python-based, high-level data acquisition framework for quantum-computing and solid-state physics experiments. It is developed together with a growing international community of scientists and engineers, and is built on top of QCoDeS for handling various instruments. The framework consists of quantify-core and quantify-scheduler.
Quantify-zurich-instruments is a backend for quantify that allows the user to compile and execute quantify schedules on Zurich Instruments hardware. This quantify backend makes use of the LabOne Q framework.
The backend is developed by OrangeQS and Zurich Instruments, within the OpenSuperQPlus project. It has been deployed at Aalto University and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
The repository is continuously developed further to include requested features.
What is currently supported
- Send instructions to configure various Zurich Instruments products (SHFQC, HDAWG, PQSC)
- Run fast resonator spectroscopy on a single readout port.
- Run fast qubit spectroscopy on a single qubit.
- Implement relative timings between pulses – for running coherence type measurements on a single qubit.
- Averaging of measurements, acquiring raw data for a single qubit measurement.
What is yet to be supported
- Single shot readout measurements
- Additional acquisition protocols
- Multiplexed readout
Currently, the companies Qblox and OrangeQS sponsor the development and maintenance of Quantify. Both companies are part of Delft’s world-leading ecosystem for innovation in quantum technologies. Other organizations are welcome to join the Quantify community, add the functionality they need and build on each other’s expertise.
