dc.description.abstract

Quantum experiments often require finer control than offered by circuit-level abstractions. While such abstractions hide hardware-specific details, they also hide the details of control fields, which are crucial for quantum optimal control. Currently, the writing of pulse-level quantum experiments is a slow process producing code that is tightly coupled to hardware-specifics. In this thesis, I seek to solve this problem by introducing a software framework for the rapid design of ARTIQ experiments at the pulse-level. I describe the implementation of this framework, targeting direct digital synthesizers, and demonstrate its capabilities. A scheme for integration into Duke ARTIQ Extensions (DAX) is also discussed, enabling hybrid quantum experiments.
