Signatures

classmethod Global(max_abs_detuning, max_amp, **kwargs)

Initializes the channel with global addressing.

Parameters:

• max_abs_detuning (float | None) – Maximum possible detuning (in rad/µs), in absolute value.

• max_amp (float | None) – Maximum pulse amplitude (in rad/µs).

Keyword Arguments:

• clock_period (int, default=4) – The duration of a clock cycle (in ns). The duration of a pulse or delay instruction is enforced to be a multiple of the clock cycle.

• min_duration (int, default=1) – The shortest duration an instruction can take.

• max_duration (Optional[int], default=10000000) – The longest duration an instruction can take.

• mod_bandwidth (Optional[float], default=None) – The modulation bandwidth at -3dB (50% reduction), in MHz.

• min_avg_amp – The minimum average amplitude of a pulse (when not zero).

• custom_phase_jump_time – An optional custom value for the phase jump time that overrides the default value estimated from the modulation bandwidth. It is not enforced in EOM mode.

• propagation_dir – The propagation direction of the beam associated with the channel, given as a vector in 3D space.

Return type:

TypeVar(ChannelType, bound= Channel)

classmethod Local(max_abs_detuning, max_amp, min_retarget_interval=0, fixed_retarget_t=0, max_targets=None, **kwargs)

Initializes the channel with local addressing.

Parameters:

• max_abs_detuning (float | None) – Maximum possible detuning (in rad/µs), in absolute value.

• max_amp (float | None) – Maximum pulse amplitude (in rad/µs).

• min_retarget_interval (int, default: 0) – Minimum time required between two target instructions (in ns).

• fixed_retarget_t (int, default: 0) – Time taken to change the target (in ns).

• max_targets (int | None, default: None) – Maximum number of atoms the channel can target simultaneously.

Keyword Arguments:

• clock_period (int, default=4) – The duration of a clock cycle (in ns). The duration of a pulse or delay instruction is enforced to be a multiple of the clock cycle.

• min_duration (int, default=1) – The shortest duration an instruction can take.

• max_duration (Optional[int], default=10000000) – The longest duration an instruction can take.

• mod_bandwidth (Optional[float], default=None) – The modulation bandwidth at -3dB (50% reduction), in MHz.

• min_avg_amp – The minimum average amplitude of a pulse (when not zero).

• custom_phase_jump_time – An optional custom value for the phase jump time that overrides the default value estimated from the modulation bandwidth. It is not enforced in EOM mode.

Return type:

static apply_modulation(input_samples, mod_bandwidth)

Applies the modulation transfer fuction to the input samples.

Note

This is strictly the application of the modulation transfer function. The samples should be padded beforehand.

Parameters:

• mod_bandwidth (float) – The modulation bandwidth at -3dB (50% reduction), in MHz.

Return type:

AbstractArray

calc_modulation_buffer(input_samples, mod_samples, max_allowed_diff=0.01, eom=False)

Calculates the minimal buffers needed around a modulated waveform.

Parameters:

• input_samples (ArrayLike) – The input samples.

• mod_samples (ArrayLike) – The modulated samples. Must be of size len(input_samples) + 2 * self.rise_time.

• max_allowed_diff (float, default: 0.01) – The maximum allowed difference between the input and modulated samples at the end points.

• eom (bool, default: False) – Whether to calculate the modulation buffers with the EOM bandwidth.

Return type:

tuple[int, int]

Returns:

The minimum buffer times at the start and end of the samples, in ns.

default_id()

Generates the default ID for indexing this channel in a Device.

Return type:

str

is_virtual()

Whether the channel is virtual (i.e. partially defined).

Return type:

bool

modulate(input_samples, keep_ends=False, eom=False)

Modulates the input according to the channel’s modulation bandwidth.

Parameters:

• input_samples (ArrayLike) – The samples to modulate.

• keep_ends (bool, default: False) – Assume the end values of the samples were kept constant (i.e. there is no ramp from zero on the ends).

• eom (bool, default: False) – Whether to calculate the modulation using the EOM bandwidth.

Return type:

AbstractArray

Returns:

The modulated output signal.

supports_eom()

Whether the channel supports EOM mode operation.

The rise time (in ns).

Defined as the time taken to go from 10% to 90% output in response to a step change in the input.
