LabOne Q is Zurich Instruments’ software framework to accelerate progress in quantum computing. Its Python-based, high-level programming interface enables users to concentrate on intuitive, efficient experiment design, while automatically accounting for their instrumentation details and maximizing useful computation time. Tight system integration between software and hardware ensures a seamless user experience from setups with a single qubit to those with 100 and more.
⚠️ This software requires Python 3.10 or higher. We assume thatpipandpythonuse a corresponding Python version.
💡 To ease the maintenance of multiple installations, we recommended to use Python environments through e.g. venv, pipenv or conda.
The following command will fetch the latest (quarterly) stable release of LabOne Q from PyPI and make it available in your current environment.
$ pip install --upgrade laboneqPreview releases are typically published every two weeks and contain new features, improvements, or bugfixes. They undergo the similar internal testing, but do not receive backports of bugfixes. Preview releases can be installed through:
$ pip install --upgrade --pre laboneqIf you instead would like to install from source, you will additionally need to install a Rust toolchain. For this, follow the instructions on rustup.rs.
