The ultimate 3-in-1 laboratory instrument
Three powerful modes in one platform
Pulse sequencer
Generate complex arbitrary waveforms by sequencing simple building blocks in pulsed mode. Record your response coherently by scheduling signal acquisition, analysis and feedback in the same sequence. Finally, complete the experiment by on-board parameter sweeping and interleaved averaging with zero over-head.
Applications: gate based quantum computing, qubit control, readout and reset etc.
Code your experiments using simple yet powerful Python API
Start from a rich library of examples. We also support open source platforms qualibrate and quantify.
1 Intuitive API
Context managers and clear method names make your code readable and maintainable
Rich examples
Comprehensive tutorials covering pulse sequences, lockin mode, and spectral analysis
Open integration
Compatible with popular quantum control frameworks and measurement platforms
