New control flow interface#

This is an example for the loop control flow. For other control flow types, please use the respective operation classes in the same way.

# Old way:
from quantify_scheduler.operations.control_flow_library import Loop

schedule_with_loop = Schedule("Schedule with loop")

subschedule = Schedule("Subschedule")
subschedule.add(X("q0"))

schedule_with_loop.add(subschedule, control_flow=Loop(3))
# New way:
from quantify_scheduler.operations.control_flow_library import LoopOperation
from quantify_scheduler.operations.gate_library import X

schedule_with_loop = Schedule("Schedule with loop")

subschedule = Schedule("Subschedule")
subschedule.add(X("q0"))

loop_operation = LoopOperation(body=subschedule, repetitions=3)

schedule_with_loop.add(loop_operation)

DistortionCorrection => SoftwareDistortionCorrection#

To prepare for distortion corrections performed by hardware, distortion corrections will now come in two flavors: SoftwareDistortionCorrection and HardwareDistortionCorrection.

In the hardware configuration, the following needs to be replaced:

hardware_configuration = {
    ...
    hardware_options : {
        ...
            distortion_corrections = {
-                "q0:fl-cl0.baseband": DistortionCorrection(
+                "q0:fl-cl0.baseband": SoftwareDistortionCorrection(    
                    filter_func="scipy.signal.lfilter",
                    input_var_name="x",
                    kwargs={
                        "b": [0, 0.25, 0.5],
                        "a": [1]
                    },
                    clipping_values=[-2.5, 2.5]
                )
            }
    }
}

qcompile() => SerialCompiler#

The qcompile(), device_compile() and hardware_compile() compilation functions have been replaced by the SerialCompiler. For step-by-step guides on how to perform compilation to the device level and hardware, please see Compiling to Hardware and Operations and Qubits. A brief example is shown below.

First, run Compilation Setup.

# Old way:
# from quantify_scheduler.compilation import qcompile

# compiled_schedule = qcompile(sched, device_cfg, hardware_cfg)
from quantify_scheduler.backends.graph_compilation import SerialCompiler

quantum_device.hardware_config(hardware_cfg)

compiler = SerialCompiler(name="compiler")
compiled_schedule = compiler.compile(
    schedule=sched, config=quantum_device.generate_compilation_config()
)
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/quantify_scheduler/backends/qblox/helpers.py:1421: FutureWarning: The hardware configuration dictionary is deprecated and will not be supported in quantify-scheduler >= 1.0.0. Please use a `HardwareCompilationConfig` instead. For more information on how to migrate from old- to new-style hardware specification, please visit https://quantify-os.org/docs/quantify-scheduler/dev/examples/hardware_config_migration.html in the documentation.

ScheduleGettable.generate_diagnostics_report()#

In version 0.17, the ScheduleGettable.generate_diagnostics_report method received a major update. This method should no longer be called directly. Instead, the experiment should be run via the ScheduleGettable.initialize_and_get_with_report() method, which executes the experiment and generates a diagnostics report for debugging.

plot_kwargs parameter in ScheduleBase.plot_pulse_diagram()#

In version 0.15, the plot_kwargs parameter of the ScheduleBase.plot_pulse_diagram() method was replaced by variable keyword arguments (**kwargs). This means that the dictionary provided to plot_kwargs can be unpacked and passed to the method directly. For example,

schedule.plot_pulse_diagram(plot_kwargs={"x_range": (201e-6, 201.5e-6)})

can now be written as

compiled_schedule.plot_pulse_diagram(x_range=(201e-6, 201.5e-6))

repetitions parameter in ScheduleGettable.process_acquired_data()#

In version 0.15, the repetitions parameter of the ScheduleGettable.process_acquired_data() method was deprecated. This parameter has no effect, and can simply be omitted. The Repetitions section of Tutorial: ScheduleGettable contains more information on how to set the number of repetitions in an experiment.

t parameter in NumericalWeightedIntegrationComplex#

In version 0.13.0, the t parameter in the NumericalWeightedIntegrationComplex initializer was replaced by the weights_sampling_rate parameter, which takes a sampling rate in Hz.

This means that creating a class instance as

NumericalWeightedIntegrationComplex(
    weights_a=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
    weight_b=[0.4, 0.5, 0.6],
    t=[0.0, 1e-9, 2e-9],
    port="some_port",
    clock="some_clock",
    # other args
)

should now be done as

from quantify_scheduler.operations.acquisition_library import NumericalWeightedIntegrationComplex


NumericalWeightedIntegrationComplex(
    weights_a=[0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
    weights_b=[0.4, 0.5, 0.6],
    weights_sampling_rate=1e9,
    port="some_port",
    clock="some_clock",
    # other args
)
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/quantify_scheduler/operations/acquisition_library.py:591: FutureWarning: NumericalWeightedIntegrationComplex is deprecated and will be removed in quantify-scheduler>=0.20.0. Use NumericalSeparatedWeightedIntegration instead.
  warnings.warn(

Circuit diagrams and pulse diagrams#

The functions to plot circuit and pulse diagrams have moved to a private module in version 0.12.0.

Instead, to plot circuit and pulse diagrams, call, directly on the schedule, plot_circuit_diagram() and plot_pulse_diagram().

For example, the line

pulse_diagram_plotly(schedule)
pulse_diagram_matplotlib(schedule)

should now be written as

compiled_schedule.plot_pulse_diagram(plot_backend="plotly")
compiled_schedule.plot_pulse_diagram(plot_backend="mpl")
(<Figure size 640x480 with 1 Axes>,
 <Axes: title={'center': 'Simple trace schedule'}, xlabel='Time [μs]', ylabel='Amplitude [mV]'>)
../_images/002df4b78569d2f9a467aa6eb3b6c613cc39230e68a39f5a8a54eac6e88cb05a.png

More examples can be found in the Schedules and Pulses and Operations and Qubits tutorials.

acq_channel#

In the Measure and CRCount classes, the acq_channel parameter has been removed from the initializers. For gate-level operations, the acquisition channel can be set in the DeviceElement subclasses, such as BasicTransmonElement, instead. See, for example, q0.measure.acq_channel(0) in the Compilation Setup.

add_pulse_information_transmon() => compile_circuit_to_device()#

The compilation step add_pulse_information_transmon has been replaced by compile_circuit_to_device. For steps on how to add device configuration to your compilation steps, please see Operations and Qubits.

Qblox Hardware Configuration#

In quantify-scheduler 0.8.0, the schema for the Qblox hardware configuration was revised. From version 0.13.0, old hardware configurations will no longer be automatically converted. Below is a summary of the changes.

  1. seqx => portclock_configs

  2. latency_correction => standalone/top-level latency_corrections

  3. line_gain_db removed

Warning

The helper function convert_hw_config_to_portclock_configs_spec has been removed in version 0.18.0.

Instruction-generated pulses (Qblox only)#

Instead of using the instruction_generated_pulses_enabled: True field in the port-clock configuration for generating long square and staircase pulses, you can now create long square, staircase and ramp waveforms (that would otherwise not fit in memory), by creating these operations with the following helper functions.

from quantify_scheduler.backends.qblox.operations import (
    long_ramp_pulse,
    long_square_pulse,
    staircase_pulse,
)

ramp_pulse = long_ramp_pulse(amp=0.5, duration=1e-3, port="q0:mw")
square_pulse = long_square_pulse(amp=0.5, duration=1e-3, port="q0:mw")
staircase_pulse = staircase_pulse(
    start_amp=0.0, final_amp=1.0, num_steps=20, duration=1e-4, port="q0:mw"
)

More complex long waveforms can now also be created, see section Long waveform support.
