laboneq_applications.experiments.qubit_spectroscopy

This module defines the qubit spectroscopy experiment.

In this experiment, we sweep the frequency of a qubit drive pulse to characterize the qubit transition frequency.

The qubit spectroscopy experiment has the following pulse sequence:

qb --- [ prep transition ] --- [ x180_transition (swept frequency)] --- [ measure ]

If multiple qubits are passed to the run workflow, the above pulses are applied in parallel on all the qubits.

create_experiment(qpu, qubits, frequencies, options=None)

Creates a Qubit Spectroscopy Experiment.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
qpu QPU

The qpu consisting of the original qubits and quantum operations.

required
qubits Qubits

The qubits to run the experiments on. May be either a single qubit or a list of qubits.

required
frequencies QubitSweepPoints

The qubit frequencies to sweep over for the qubit drive pulse. If qubits is a single qubit, frequencies must be a list of numbers or an array. Otherwise, it must be a list of lists of numbers or arrays.

required
options QubitSpectroscopyExperimentOptions | None

The options for building the experiment. See [QubitSpectroscopyExperimentOptions] and [BaseExperimentOptions] for accepted options. Overwrites the options from [QubitSpectroscopyExperimentOptions] and [BaseExperimentOptions].

None

Returns:

Name Type Description
experiment Experiment

The generated LabOne Q experiment instance to be compiled and executed.

Raises:

Type Description
ValueError

If the qubits, amplitudes, and frequencies are not of the same length.

ValueError

If amplitudes and frequencies are not a list of numbers when a single qubit is passed.

ValueError

If frequencies is not a list of lists of numbers. If amplitudes is not None or a list of lists of numbers.

Example
options = QubitSpectroscopyExperimentOptions()
options.count = 10
qpu = QPU(
    qubits=[TunableTransmonQubit("q0"), TunableTransmonQubit("q1")],
    quantum_operations=TunableTransmonOperations(),
)
temp_qubits = qpu.copy_qubits()
create_experiment(
    qpu=qpu,
    qubits=temp_qubits,
    frequencies = [
        np.linspace(6.0e9, 6.3e9, 101),
        np.linspace(5.8e9, 6.2e9, 101)
    ]
    options=options,
)

experiment_workflow(session, qpu, qubits, frequencies, temporary_parameters=None, options=None)

The Qubit Spectroscopy Workflow.

The workflow consists of the following steps:

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
session Session

The connected session to use for running the experiment.

required
qpu QPU

The qpu consisting of the original qubits and quantum operations.

required
qubits Qubits

The qubits to run the experiments on. May be either a single qubit or a list of qubits.

required
frequencies QubitSweepPoints

The qubit frequencies to sweep over for the qubit drive pulse. If qubits is a single qubit, frequencies must be a list of numbers or an array. Otherwise, it must be a list of lists of numbers or arrays.

required
temporary_parameters dict[str, dict | TransmonParameters] | None

The temporary parameters to update the qubits with.

None
options TuneUpWorkflowOptions | None

The options for building the workflow. In addition to options from [WorkflowOptions], the following custom options are supported: - create_experiment: The options for creating the experiment.

None

Returns:

Name Type Description
WorkflowBuilder None

The builder for the experiment workflow.

options = experiment_workflow.options()
options.create_experiment.count(10)
qpu = QPU(
    qubits=[TunableTransmonQubit("q0"), TunableTransmonQubit("q1")],
