Minimal working example

This section shows the steps to perform a resonator spectroscopy with Qibocal.

Write a runcard

A runcard contains all the essential information to run a specific task. For our purposes, we can use the following:

platform: tii1q

qubits: [0]

- id: resonator spectroscopy high power
  priority: 0
  operation: resonator_spectroscopy
  parameters:
    freq_width: 10_000_000
    freq_step: 500_000
    amplitude: 0.4
    power_level: high
    nshots: 1024
    relaxation_time: 0

How to run protocols

To run the protocols specified in the runcard, Qibocal uses the qq auto command

qq auto <runcard> -o <output_folder>

if <output_folder> is specified, the results will be saved in it, otherwise qq will automatically create a default folder containing the current date and the username.

Uploading reports to server

In order to upload the report to a centralized server, send to the server administrators your public ssh key (from the machine(s) you are planning to upload the report) and then use the qq upload <output_folder> command. This program will upload your report to the server and generate an unique URL.
