ARTIQ: the Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics
Speaker: Sébastien Bourdeauducq (M-Labs)
ARTIQ (Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics) is a next-generation control system for quantum information experiments. It is developed by M-Labs in partnership with the Ion Storage Group at NIST as free software. The system features a high-level programming language that helps describing complex experiments, which is compiled and executed on dedicated FPGA hardware with nanosecond timing resolution and sub-microsecond latency. This language can easily interact with conventional Python code that performs tasks such as data analysis, plotting, or controlling "slow" USB devices. ARTIQ includes graphical user interfaces to parametrize and schedule experiments and to visualize and explore the results.
