class Acquisition(name: str)[source]#

Bases: quantify_scheduler.operations.operation.Operation

An operation representing data acquisition at the quantum-device abstraction layer.

An Acquisition must consist of (at least) an AcquisitionProtocol specifying how the acquired signal is to be processed, and an AcquisitionChannel and AcquisitionIndex specifying where the acquired data is to be stored in the RawDataset.

N.B. This class helps differentiate an acquisition operation from the regular operations. This enables us to use plot_acquisition_operations() to highlight acquisition pulses in the pulse diagrams.

class Operation(name: str)[source]#

Bases: quantify_scheduler.json_utils.JSONSchemaValMixin, collections.UserDict

A representation of quantum circuit operations.

The Operation class is a JSON-compatible data structure that contains information on how to represent the operation on the quantum-circuit and/or the quantum-device layer. It also contains information on where the operation should be applied: the Resource s used.

An operation always has the following attributes:

  • duration (float): duration of the operation in seconds (can be 0).

  • hash (str): an auto generated unique identifier.

  • name (str): a readable identifier, does not have to be unique.

An Operation can contain information on several levels of abstraction. This information is used when different representations are required. Note that when initializing an operation not all of this information needs to be available as operations are typically modified during the compilation steps.

Tip

quantify_scheduler comes with a gate_library and a pulse_library , both containing common operations.
