Sammanfattning
We define a preorder on a vector space of complex valued integrable functions on
the non-negative real numbers. This preorder is then used to develop a scheduling
theory for microwave pulse schedules with an application for quantum computer
experiments on superconducting circuits. The scheduling theory is further developed
in a categorical framework using a subcategory of Ord, the category of preordered
sets and order-preserving mappings between them.
The developed theory is then applied to create a Python library which translates IBM
OpenPulse schedules to Quantify schedules. Further, this library was then used to
conduct single qubit characterisation experiments. Performed experiments include:
resonator spectroscopy, two-tone spectroscopy, Rabi oscillation, relaxation time (T1)
and qubit state discrimination experiments.
