Kowalski","N. Fredman","J. Zirbel","B. DeMarco"],"abstract":"Experimental quantum physics and computing platforms rely on sophisticated computer control and timing systems that must be deterministic. An exemplar is the sequence used to create a Bose-Einstein condensate at the University of Illinois, which involves 46,812 analog and digital transitions over 100 seconds with 20 ns timing precision and nanosecond timing drift. We present a control and sequencing platform, using industry-standard National Instruments hardware to generate the necessary digital and analog signals, that achieves this level of performance. The system uses a master 10 MHz reference clock that is conditioned to the Global Positioning Satellite constellation and leverages low-phase-noise clock distribution hardware for timing stability. A Python-based user front-end provides a flexible language to describe experimental procedures and easy-to-implement version control. A library of useful peripheral hardware that can be purchased as low-cost evaluation boards provides enhanced capabilities. We provide a GitHub repository containing example python sequences and libraries for peripheral devices as a resource for the community.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09437v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.09437v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"entangleware-sequencer-a-control-platform-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/demarcoamo/entangleware","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
