IQM Pulla

Pulla (pulse-level access) is a client-side Python library which enables the generation and execution of pulse-level jobs on an IQM quantum computer. Within the existing IQM QCCSW stack, Pulla is somewhere between circuit-level execution and EXA experiments.

An interactive user guide is available as a Jupyter notebook in the docs folder.

Testing

If you want to run a particular notebook and see the output cells printed in the terminal, you can use nbconvert with jq like so:

jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute  "docs/Quick Start.ipynb" --stdout |
  jq -r '.cells[] | select(.outputs) | .outputs[] | select(.output_type == "stream") | .text[]'

Installation

Note: uv is highly recommended for practical Python environment and package management. The supported Python versions are

=3.11, <3.15.

uv pip install iqm-pulla

Optional extras

The following optional extras are available:

notebook: Jupyter notebook support for running example notebooks
qir: QIR (Quantum Intermediate Representation) support

All extras are inter-compatible and each adds more dependencies on top of the base install. To install all of them:

uv pip install "iqm-pulla[notebook,qir]"

Reproducible installations

For reproducible installations, pinned dependency extras are available:

pin-iqm: pins inter-IQM package dependencies to exact co-released versions.
pin-all: like pin-iqm, but additionally pins all transitive third-party dependencies.

These can be combined with other extras. The following combined extras are available:

notebook-pin-iqm
qir-pin-iqm
notebook-pin-all
qir-pin-all

For example:

uv pip install "iqm-pulla[notebook-pin-all]"

All extras are inter-compatible, so you can combine multiple extras with pinning as needed.

Note: This package was tested at release time for clean installation with uv 0.11.20 and pip 25.1.1. Other versions are likely to work but are not verified per release.
