class ClockFrequencies(parent: qcodes.instrument.base.InstrumentBase, name: str, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: qcodes.instrument.InstrumentModule

Submodule with clock frequencies specifying the transitions to address.

f01[source]#: Microwave frequency to resonantly drive the electron spin state of a negatively charged diamond NV center from the 0-state to 1-state Doherty et al. [DMD+13].

class SpectroscopyOperationHermiteMW(parent: qcodes.instrument.base.InstrumentBase, name: str, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: qcodes.instrument.InstrumentModule

Convert the SpectroscopyOperation into a hermite microwave pulse.

This class contains parameters with a certain amplitude and duration for spin-state manipulation.

The modulation frequency of the pulse is determined by the clock spec in ClockFrequencies.

amplitude[source]#: Amplitude of spectroscopy pulse

duration[source]#: Duration of the MW pulse.

class ResetSpinpump(parent: qcodes.instrument.base.InstrumentBase, name: str, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: qcodes.instrument.InstrumentModule

Submodule containing parameters to run the spinpump laser with a square pulse.

This should reset the NV to the \(|0\rangle\) state.

amplitude[source]#: Amplitude of reset pulse

duration[source]#: Duration of reset pulse

class Measure(parent: qcodes.instrument.base.InstrumentBase, name: str, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: qcodes.instrument.InstrumentModule

Submodule containing parameters to read out the spin state of the NV center.

Excitation with a readout laser from the \(|0\rangle\) to an excited state. Acquisition of photons when decaying back into the \(|0\rangle\) state.

pulse_amplitude[source]#: Amplitude of readout pulse

pulse_duration[source]#: Readout pulse duration

acq_duration[source]#: Duration of the acquisition.

acq_delay[source]#: Delay between the start of the readout pulse and the start of the acquisition.

acq_channel[source]#: Acquisition channel of this device element.

class ChargeReset(parent: qcodes.instrument.base.InstrumentBase, name: str, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: qcodes.instrument.InstrumentModule

Submodule containing parameters to run an ionization laser square pulse to reset the NV.

After resetting, the qubit should be in its negatively charged state.

amplitude[source]#: Amplitude of charge reset pulse.

duration[source]#: Duration of the charge reset pulse.

class CRCount(parent: qcodes.instrument.base.InstrumentBase, name: str, **kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: qcodes.instrument.InstrumentModule

Submodule containing parameters to run the ionization laser and the spin pump laser.

This uses a photon count to perform a charge and resonance count.

readout_pulse_amplitude[source]#: Amplitude of readout pulse

spinpump_pulse_amplitude[source]#: Amplitude of spin-pump pulse

readout_pulse_duration[source]#: Readout pulse duration

spinpump_pulse_duration[source]#: Readout pulse duration

acq_duration[source]#: Duration of the acquisition.

acq_delay[source]#: Delay between the start of the readout pulse and the start of the acquisition.

acq_channel[source]#: Default acquisition channel of this device element.

class BasicElectronicNVElement(name: str, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: quantify_scheduler.device_under_test.device_element.DeviceElement

A device element representing an electronic qubit in an NV center.

The submodules contain the necessary qubit parameters to translate higher-level operations into pulses. Please see the documentation of these classes.
