Qblox#

quantify-scheduler provides the qblox_backend that facilitates setting up experiments using Qblox control hardware.

Functionality included in this backend:

  • Full compilation of the schedule to a program for the sequencer.

  • Waveform generation and modulation, in a parameterized fashion as supported by Qblox hardware.

  • Built-in version handling to ensure the backend works correctly with the installed driver version.

  • Automatic handling of the hardware constraints such as output voltage ranges and sampling rates.

  • Calculation of the optimal hardware settings for the execution of the provided schedule using the Instrument Coordinator.

  • Real mode, which allows addressing the individual outputs separately rather than using IQ signals.

  • Full support of frequency multiplexing.

  • Automatic calculation of the required parameters for external local oscillators.

  • Correction of the mixer errors using specified correction parameters.

  • Flexible configuration via JSON data structures.

Simply specify "quantify_scheduler.backends.qblox_backend.hardware_compile" in the hardware configuration to use this backend. After a schedule is compiled into a program, uploading to the control hardware can be done using the usual qblox-instruments driver under the hood. The driver is automatically included in installing quantify-scheduler. Please visit the Qblox Instruments setup documentation for detailed setup instructions.

  • ✅ QCM

  • ✅ QRM

  • ✅ QCM-RF

  • ✅ QRM-RF

  • ✅ Local Oscillator
