Code overview#
The Qibolab framework implements a common system to deal with heterogeneous platforms and custom experimental drivers.
Including a new platform#
New platforms can be implemented by inheriting the
qibolab.abstract.AbstractPlatform and implementing its abstract
methods. In particular the developer should:
Perform an
AbstractPlatforminheritance.Create a yaml in
src/qibolab/runcards/containing all the instruments and the calibration parametersLoad your platform with:
from qibolab import Platform
platform = Platform("<platform_name>", "<path_to_runcard>")
where <platform_name> is the name of the in the yaml file and
<path_to_runcard> is the path to the yaml file.
Here you have an example for the structure of the yaml file:

When including a new platform, you should include its:
name: The name of the new platform.
nqubits: Maximum number of qubits supported by the platform.
description: A brief description of the platform.
settings: Platform settings.
instruments: Dictionary with the instruments used by the platform with their setup parameters.
