Toolset for control, calibration and characterization of physical systems

C3 - An integrated tool-set for Control, Calibration and Characterization

The C3 package is intended to close the loop between open-loop control optimization, control pulse calibration, and model-matching based on calibration data.

Installation

pip install c3-toolset

If you want to try out the bleeding edge (possibly buggy) version under development:

pip install c3-toolset-nightly

There is no official support for c3-toolset on Apple Silicon devices, but you can check the CONTRIBUTING.md for instructions on setting up an experimental version.

Usage

C3 provides a simple Python API through which it may integrate with virtually any experimental setup. Contact us at [e-mail].

The paper introducing C3 as a scientific concept can be found in Wittler2021. Software and implementation details are described in SahaRoy2022.

Documentation is available here on RTD.
