CQC QUAM State

A command-line tool for managing CQC QuAM (Quantum Abstract Machine) state configuration.

Overview

This package provides access to calibrated quantum device configurations and state files. It includes:

• Pre-calibrated QuAM state files (JSON format)
• CLI tools for managing and loading state configurations
• Environment variable management for QuAM state paths

To quickly set the QUAM_STATE_PATH environment variable to the current calibrated state (after installing and activating the environment):

source load-cqc-quam

Note: The package version follows the format YYYY.MM.DD[.X] where YYYY.MM.DD indicates the date of the last calibration, and the optional .X is a sub-version for multiple releases on the same day.

Installation

Install the package using uv (recommended) or pip. Make sure to use the latest version to get the most recent calibration data:

Using uv (recommended)

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install cqc-quam-state==2025.6.4.1

Using pip

pip install cqc-quam-state==2025.6.4.1

Installing the latest version

To install the most recent calibration data, check for the latest version:

# Find the latest version
pip index versions cqc-quam-state

# Install the latest version (e.g., if there are multiple releases today)
pip install cqc-quam-state==2025.6.4.3

Usage

Quick Start

The simplest way to use this package is to source the provided script, which sets the QUAM_STATE_PATH environment variable:

source load-cqc-quam

This will set QUAM_STATE_PATH to point to the current calibrated state files included in the package.

CLI Commands

The package also provides a cqc-quam-state CLI tool for more advanced usage:

Get Help

cqc-quam-state --help

Available Commands

• info: Display information about the current state
• load: Output the export command for setting QUAM_STATE_PATH (used by the load-cqc-quam script)
• set: Set configuration values (placeholder for future functionality)

Examples

Display current state information:

cqc-quam-state info

Get the export command for the QuAM state path:

cqc-quam-state load

Set configuration values:

cqc-quam-state set

(In development, the idea is to set the IP address and port of the OPX and octave and the calibration db dynamically here)

State Files

The package includes pre-calibrated state files in the quam_state/ directory:

• state.json: Main QuAM state configuration containing octave settings, RF outputs, and calibration parameters
• wiring.json: Wiring configuration for the quantum device setup

These files are automatically included when you install the package and can be accessed via the QUAM_STATE_PATH environment variable.

Version Information

The package uses a date-based versioning system with optional sub-versions:

Version Format: YYYY.MM.DD[.X]

• YYYY.MM.DD: The calibration date ( generated from date +"%Y.%-m.%-d")
• .X: Optional sub-version for multiple releases on the same day

Version Examples

• 2025.6.4: First release on June 4, 2025
• 2025.6.4.1: Second release on June 4, 2025 (updated calibration)
• 2025.6.4.2: Third release on June 4, 2025
• 2025.6.5: First release on June 5, 2025

Troubleshooting

Environment Variable Not Set

If the QUAM_STATE_PATH environment variable is not set after sourcing the script:

1. Ensure you're in the correct virtual environment
2. Verify the package is installed: pip show cqc-quam-state
3. Try running the load command directly: cqc-quam-state load

Package Not Found

If you get import errors:

1. Check if the package is installed: pip list | grep cqc-quam-state
2. Ensure you're using the correct Python environment
3. Try reinstalling: pip install --force-reinstall cqc-quam-state
