Qudi is a general, modular, multi-operating system suite written in Python 3 for controlling laboratory experiments.
It provides a structured environment by separating functionality into hardware abstraction, experiment logic and user interface layers.
The core feature set comprises a graphical user interface, live data visualization, distributed execution over networks, rapid prototyping via Jupyter notebooks, configuration management, and data recording.
Currently, the included modules are focused on confocal microscopy, quantum optics and quantum information experiments, but an expansion into other fields is possible and encouraged.
Qudi is available from https://github.com/Ulm-IQO/qudi and is freely useable under the GNU General Public Licence 3.
A preprint describing the design is avaliable at arXiv:1611.09146.
