Who it's for

Hardware-adjacent developers and researchers working closer to experiments, pulse schedules, or lab orchestration.

What you can build or learn

  • See how low-level control stacks differ from higher-level SDKs.
  • Understand where pulse sequencing and experiment orchestration fit in the stack.
  • Learn which projects matter when hardware control is part of the workflow.

sequencing is a Python package for simulating realistic quantum control sequences using QuTiP. Built for researchers and quantum engineers, sequencing provides an intuitive framework for constructing models of quantum systems composed of many modes and generating complex time-dependent control Hamiltonians for master equation simulations.
