LabOne Q

LabOne Q is Zurich Instrument’s software framework to accelerate progress in quantum computing. Its Python-based, high-level programming interface enables users to concentrate on intuitive, efficient experiment design, while automatically accounting for their instrumentation details and maximizing useful computation time. Tight system integration between software and hardware ensures a seamless user experience from setups with a single qubit to those with 100 and more.

Requirements

⚠️ This software requires Python 3.9 or higher. We assume that pip and python use a corresponding Python version.

💡 To ease the maintenance of multiple installations, we recommended to use Python environments through e.g. venv, pipenv or conda.

Installation

The following commands will make the latest release of LabOne Q available in your current environment.

$ pip install --upgrade laboneq

This will fetch the latest release from PyPI. If you instead would like to install from source, you will additionally need to install a Rust toolchain. For this, follow the instructions on rustup.rs.
