Unofficial LabRAD Guide

This wiki is unofficial documentation of labrad with pylabrad by a couple of AMO groups.

This particular version is a detailed version describing the system used at Prof. Jiehang Zhang's lab at NYU based on the general version found at AMOLabRAD. Plz contact Fred for more details

Introduction

LabRAD is an open source experimental control software developed by John Martinis group at UCSB. It was designed to be modular in order to scale well to deal with the complexity of modern quantum computing experiments. The software is broadly applicable beyond quantum computing efforts and is compatible with all major operating systems. This wiki is meant to provide a tutorial on how to use LabRAD and to facilitate sharing resources across all of the LabRAD users.

This LabRAD wiki is supported by the following labs:

Hartmut Haeffner Group, UC Berkeley
Wes Campbell Group, UCLA
Hidetoshi Katori Group, RIKEN, Japan
Andrew Jayich Group, UCSB
Jiehang Zhang NYU Group, USTC Group

Getting Started

What is LabRAD
Follow the installation instructions.
Know about servers and clients structure.
Now that you have LabRAD, play around with some of its Core servers and clients that will allow storing data and plotting
Learn how to run a script based experiment with our current system
Understand the data pipeline of our current system to get demanded data out from the experiments.
Complete the tutorial on how to interface with LabRAD and how to write LabRAD servers and clients.
Devices that are ready to use with LabRAD (i.e. servers have been written for these devices and are freely available)
