Architecture

As introduced in Overview, the mahos system consists of nodes that are categorized into three layers, as visualized below.

• Node, Client, and Communication
• inst layer
• meas layer
• gui layer

Overview of nodes in the layers

Package layout

Currently, mahos contains two main subpackages.

mahos

The mahos package has core functionality of the mahos system and common components.

• mahos.node - Base node implementations.

• mahos.msgs - Message type definitions.

• mahos.inst - Low-level drivers for instruments. InstrumentServer node provides RPC with unified API.

• mahos.meas - High-level measurement logics. (explicit state management and file I/O, etc.).

• mahos.gui - GUI frontends.

• mahos.cli - Command Line Interfaces.

mahos_dq

The mahos_dq package has logic and GUI for solid-state Defect (color center) Qubit research. The submodule layout is similar to that of mahos.

• mahos_dq.msgs - Message type definitions.

• mahos_dq.inst - InstrumentOverlay definitions.

• mahos_dq.meas - High-level measurement logics.

• mahos_dq.gui - GUI frontends.
