Pulse and control
artiq
Maintained by m-labs
ARTIQ is a hardware-adjacent control stack that matters because it reveals the layer of software closer to experiments and instrument orchestration than most SDK overviews show.

What it is
Projects like ARTIQ remind readers that quantum software is not only about abstract circuits and algorithms. A large part of the ecosystem lives closer to experiments, timing, orchestration, and the realities of controlled hardware workflows.
That makes ARTIQ a valuable balancing resource in the library. It expands the mental model from software-for-algorithms to software-for-systems.
Who it's for
Hardware-adjacent developers, researchers, and advanced readers trying to understand laboratory control and experiment orchestration tooling.
What you can build or learn
- Explore how experiment control differs from high-level SDK work.
- Understand where pulse and orchestration layers fit in the stack.
- Use the project as a reference for hardware-facing software design.
