ATOMIQ: An easy-to-use abstarction layer for ARTIQ — •Suthep Pomjaksilp1, Christian Hölzel2, Florian Meinert2, Herwig Ott1, and Thomas Niederprüm1 — 1Department of Physics and research center OPTIMAS, Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau, Kaiserslautern, Germany — 25th Institute of Physics, Universität Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany
In recent years, the emergence of a vast landscape of quantum technology experiments created a still growing demand for high perfomance experiment control systems. In contrast to proprietary systems, the Sinara hardware and ARTIQ software ecosystem are fully open-source while reaching nanosecond timing performance. Yet, the subset of Python commands used by ARTIQ predominantly describes hardware like digital frequency synthesizers, DACs and ADCs, making it time-consuming to implement experimental sequences.
The ATOMIQ framework aims to bridge the gap between this hardware and entities familiar to experimental physicists like AOM controlled lasers, coils and cameras. In addition, ATOMIQ consolidates common routines (loading a magneto-optical trap, load and evaporate a dipole trap) into building blocks which can be transported in between experiments while preserving the possibility to leverage the high-perfomance primitives of ARTIQ. Finally, we demonstrate how ATOMIQ can be seamlessly integrated into a non-realtime data acquisition and control system.
