Scripted Control System for Applications in Quantum Technology

In this work, we describe the development of a scripted control system for applications in quantum technology, specifically to ultracold atom experiments at a primarily undergraduate institution. Our focus is to build hardware for DAC and TTL control, develop a software interface for autonomous hardware-timed control, further our understanding of bit management and manipulation, and implement and test the integrated control system in an R&D setting. This project brings together physics and engineering undergraduate students in a collaborative environment, developing skills with automation programming and time-dependent control systems for quantum technologies, building and developing time-keeping electronics for D I/O control, to further develop skills in circuit design and development in an R&D setting. In this poster, we will present details of the control system, as well as current status and future applications of the work.
