The pennylane_ls plugin allows to run experiments that are controlled by the Labscript Suite through the interface and with the features that Pennylane offers. Our general approach is to generate Experiment.py scripts with the Labscript syntax on the fly depending on the circuit provided through PennyLane. This experimental sequence is sent remotely to Labscripts Runmanager and the results are evaluated inside the pennylane_ls plugin.

This repo is based on the plugin template provided by pennylane. An example Pennylane plugin is of ProjectQ. It is well-designed and written by C. Gogolin.

Features

  • Proposes a higher-level control of experiment that are run controlled by the Labscript Suite through PennyLane.
  • A framework device that provides a template for labs with Labscript to quickly adapt code for their own setup.
  • Includes two devices for the SynQS group at the Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics of Prof. Fred Jendrzejewski.

Can we run quantum circuits on ultra-cold atom devices?

In this blog-post, we present our path and thoughts towards using ultra-cold atom experiments for quantum computation. They are the result of a two month internship where we studied the feasibility of such an undertaking in our group. Many associate only universal devices, especially qubit devices, to be valid quantum computers. We show how we think of our ultra-cold atoms in terms of quantum circuits and implement first steps in the software framework PennyLane.
