Overview
Control is software that automatically calibrates and controls quantum processors. Today, engineers bring quantum devices online by hand, tuning every qubit, one parameter at a time. It takes weeks, it’s expensive, and it doesn’t scale. Control automates this workflow end-to-end.
How Control works
Calibrating a quantum device involves a series of experiments: measure, analyse, decide, repeat. Control automates this loop, enabling autonomous tune-up powered by ML models that handle the analysis.
- Connect your hardware. Define your device in a configuration file. Map instruments, channels, and qubit parameters.
- Perform measurement. Control drives your instruments to run characterisation experiments (spectroscopy sweeps, Rabi oscillations, resonator readout, etc.), collecting raw data from the quantum device.
- Analyse with ML models. ML models trained on quantum measurement data interpret each result automatically, identifying features and replacing hours of manual analysis.
- Decide what’s next. Based on the analysis, Control decides the next action: adjust a parameter and re-measure, compensate for crosstalk, or move to the next calibration step. The loop repeats until every parameter is optimised.
