ATOMIQ: A block based, highly flexible and user friendly extension for ARTIQ — •Christian Hölzl1, Suthep Pomjaksilp2, Thomas Niederprüm2, and Florian Meinert1 — 15th Institute of Physics, Universität Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany — 2Department of Physics and research center OPTIMAS, Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany
The demand for fast and reliable experiment control hardware and software has sharply increased with recent advances in quantum technology. For the fast cycle times required in atom computing and simulation, highly flexible yet nanosecond-precise systems are needed. By providing fully open source software and hardware the ARTIQ/Sinara ecosystem has propelled itself to a leading solution for ion and neutral atom based quantum experiments.
However the out of the box software functionality is heavily limited and requires major time commitment from the end user. Our ATOMIQ extension aims to mitigate this problem by adding a user-friendly abstraction layer, implementing common routines needed for quantum control of neutral atoms. By using a block-based experiment structure, modularity and drastic reduction of boiler plate is achieved without compromising the speed of ARTIQ. Combining simple primitives through multiple inheritance patterns to graspable lab devices like lasers ensures high flexibility and easy extendability. By providing many interfaces to lab infrastructure for data management and non-realtime devices it is also easy to implement ATOMIQ in an already existing system running ARTIQ.
