From ecaa5a8ee3371aadc15a04272f6019aff09eaa18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Ahindura Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 17:21:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 001/130] fix(qpi-driver): release the cluster's sync network after every quantify run MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A calibration was failing every node with `TimeoutError: Sequencer 0 did not stop in timeout period of N minutes`, at any `routine_timeout_s` — 15 minutes failed the same way 5 did. The schedule was not slow: `resonator_spectroscopy` on q0 compiles to 10.6s of pulses, and the longest routine in the graph is a 58.5s punchout. `ClusterComponent.stop()` is the only thing that clears `sync_en` across all modules; `prepare()` reaches only the modules named in the current program. Nothing called `stop()`. So a node that used module6 for `q0:mw` left that sequencer in the cluster's SYNQ network, and the next node — touching only module20 — armed a sequencer that blocked on `wait_sync` waiting for a sequencer that would never arrive. quantify says as much on `disable_sync`: "Prevent hanging on next run if instrument is not used." Both reference pipelines (tergite-tuner, tergite-autocalibration) call `lab_ic.stop()` after retrieving. `sync_en` is instrument state, so once poisoned it survived driver restarts, which is why even the first node failed. Stopping goes in a `finally`: the run that most needs it is the one that failed. Four changes rather than one because they rewrite the same `run()` body and depend on each other's helpers: - `stop()` after every run, in the tuner and in the executor's circuit path, which has the same gap. `SimulatedCoordinator` gains a no-op `stop` so the callers need not special-case it. - A timeout now names the module, sequencer, state and flags. qblox-instruments raises with a bare sequencer index, so an operator could not tell which of twelve modules had hung; probed against a dummy cluster with one sequencer deliberately left in the sync network, it reports exactly that sequencer. - A schedule whose pulses outlast `routine_timeout_s` raises its own wait instead of failing. That ceiling exists to bound being *stuck*; killing a 59s punchout under a 30s ceiling failed it for being large. The allowance is rounded up to a whole minute plus one, because quantify floors the wait to minutes — passing 130s exactly would stop 10s short — and it is recorded so the DAG's own elapsed-time check judges the routine by what was allowed rather than discarding data it waited for. It also warns when it overrides the configured value. - `_cluster()` looked up components by iterating `components()`, which holds component *names*, so `getattr(name, "instrument")` found nothing and it always returned None — `coupler_anticrossing` could not open a bias source inside the cluster. --- CHANGELOG.md | 23 +++ .../qpi_driver/executors/quantify/__init__.py | 20 ++- .../py/qpi_driver/simulation/coordinator.py | 5 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py | 49 ++++++ qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 36 ++-- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/quantify/__init__.py | 155 ++++++++++++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibrate_driver.py | 126 ++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 385 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index cdbad7ad..e5ad3c2c 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -7,8 +7,31 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ## [Unreleased] +### Added + +- `qpi-driver/py`: a quantify routine logs how long its schedule should take before + running it, and its Q1ASM at debug level.

That is not a wiring gap: it is the architecture, and the graph already models both kinds. `CZParametrization`'s own docstring draws the line — a DC-flux CZ is brought onto the |11>-|02> crossing by amplitude, so its calibration is a chevron over amplitude and duration; a parametric CZ is brought onto it by frequency, which `cz_spectroscopy` finds. `CZSpectroscopy` and `CZParametrization` both guard with `parametric_edge(...) is not None`. `CZChevron` had no `applies_to` at all, so where its two counterparts correctly declined it went ahead and built a schedule against a port the chip does not have. `FluxSpectroscopy`, which feeds it and sweeps a qubit's own flux, had the same omission. Both now ask `has_flux_port`, which reads the answer off the connectivity graph — the same question the compiler was answering with a `KeyError` that named neither the routine nor the reason. It returns True when the wiring cannot be read, so an unrecognised config keeps failing as it did rather than being silently skipped. `conditional_phase` still runs on a parametric chip even though it declares `depends_on = ("cz_chevron",)`: `depends_on` only orders the walk, and a routine with no applicable targets is skipped rather than blocking its dependents. Pinned with a test, since the alternative would have been to lose the node. The fixture chip carries both architectures — q0/q1 have their own `:fl` and join through the DC-flux q0_q1, while q2 has none and joins q1 through the parametric q1_q2 — so both branches are covered against a real QuantumDevice rather than a fake shaped to the code. All 33 routines now either compile or decline against the chip's real configs; none fails at build time. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/device.py | 22 ++++++ .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 13 +++- .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/two_qubit.py | 15 ++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 68 +++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 6cadd0ca..4f481694 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -28,6 +28,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. the cluster. - `qpi-driver/py`: `ramsey` rounds its delays to the 1 ns grid, as `ramsey_12` already did.

The survival data behind them was non-monotonic noise: [0, 1, 0.54, 0.68, 0.80, 0.49, 0.30] -> 0.9999970 [0, 0.53, 0.008, 0.34, 0.89, 1, 0.43] -> 0.9410470 [0, 0.50, 0.87, 0.25, 1, 0.28, 0.77] -> 0.5858176 Only `r` is bounded by the fit, deliberately — bounding the amplitude pins the reported fidelity near 0.98 for every chip better than 3% error per Clifford, which the rescaled-signal test exists to prevent. The cost is that on data with no decay in it the least-squares solution runs away instead: the first of those reached `A = 629` against a signal spanning one, an exponential degenerated into a straight line, with `r` no longer the depolarising parameter the fidelity formula reads it as. So the amplitude stays unbounded and the *result* is refused: the fitted decay must span at least three times the residual scatter it was drawn through. The three above sit at 0.8, 2.5 and 2.4. A real measurement clears it by an order of magnitude — the simulated chip at sixty circuits a depth sits near 25, and 0.2% noise near 130 — and a decay that has not reached its asymptote by the deepest sequence still passes, which is the case the fit is shaped around. Compared as a span rather than by the sign of the amplitude: the `rb` routine rescales its acquisition to [0, 1] without orienting it, so a chip whose readout brightens with excitation returns a rising survival, and that is a readout convention rather than a bad fit. `interleaved_rb` shares the fit and is covered too. A benchmark that raises is absent from the report rather than wrong in it, which is what the drift check needs — it was comparing these against a threshold. --- .gitignore | 1 + CHANGELOG.md | 3 ++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 34 ++++++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 36 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 74 insertions(+) diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index a1830af3..6e164f0a 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -33,6 +33,7 @@ quantify.config.yml quantify.device.yml quantify.config.yaml quantify.device.yaml +calibration.yml !**/fixtures/**.json !**/fixtures/**.yaml !**/fixtures/**.yml diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 4f481694..85626cdf 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -28,6 +28,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. the cluster. - `qpi-driver/py`: `ramsey` rounds its delays to the 1 ns grid, as `ramsey_12` already did.

Measured on hardware, `qubit_spectroscopy` returned linewidth 1,534,405 Hz snr 1.32 f01 4,731,348,587 from a sweep whose points span 0.7% peak to peak. It cleared the width test by a factor of eleven, sat 5 MHz from the runs either side of it, and was written straight to f01 — which put `ramsey_12`'s detuning 1.5 MHz out and cost the run. That is the second time a noise fit has poisoned the device config: `rb` did the same with a fidelity. So the guard now also requires the fitted line to stand at least 3x above its own residual scatter. Three from the spread of what has been measured rather than from theory: the simulated chip returns 127 and lands within 2.5 kHz of the true f01; on hardware the one `qubit_spectroscopy` whose answer reproduced across runs came back at 3.55, and the two that did not came back at 1.56 — through a starved readout — and 1.32. The asymmetry sets the threshold more than the gap does: a refused fit leaves the last good frequency in place and says why, an accepted one overwrites it and breaks every node downstream. `resonator_spectroscopy` had no guard at all, which is the worse omission of the two: it is the root, and the frequency it writes is where every other node reads. A 72% dip confined to a single 400 kHz bin was fitted as a 2379 Hz linewidth at Q = 2.9 million, and the centre it wrote sat 47 kHz off the deepest sample it had actually taken. It is guarded now, and the width half of the check would have caught that one on its own. `fit_resonator_spectroscopy` and `fit_qubit_spectroscopy` forward the `snr` that `_fit_lorentzian` has always computed and they were dropping; `fit_spectroscopy_power` already selected on it. A fit that reports no snr is still judged on width alone, so nothing starts failing on absence.

The subtrahend is not measured by the routine: it is whatever the device happens to hold, which `resonator_spectroscopy` writes and anything pinning the config can override. Pin the readout to a stale seed and the routine reports the distance to the seed rather than a dispersive shift — observed at 186 kHz on a chip whose ground and excited resonances, measured properly, agree to 173 Hz. Nothing in the report said which reference had been used, so the 186 kHz read as a physics result and contradicted the 385 Hz from the run before it. Both numbers were correct arithmetic on different references. So both excited sweeps now report `readout_frequency_ground` alongside the shift, and forward the fitted spectrum. The trace matters more than the centre here: when chi is a fraction of a linewidth, two overlaid curves show it and two fitted centres do not — which is the measurement still outstanding on this chip. Neither sweep was guarded. They returned linewidths of 510 kHz and 3067 Hz for the same resonator on consecutive runs, which is an unresolved line rather than two answers. Both call `require_resolved_line` now. That guard moves from `spectroscopy.py` to `base/routines.py`, beside `grid_duration` and `setpoints_of`, because a second module needs it — `resonator_spectroscopy_second_excited` lives in `ef.py`. It is public for the same reason. The simulated chip clears the floor on every newly guarded sweep: the scqubits suite is unchanged at 133 passed and its 8 pre-existing e2e failures. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 62 +++++++++++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 5 ++ .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 79 ++++--------------- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 14 ++-- 5 files changed, 93 insertions(+), 71 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 2a15a9a2..329bf3c0 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -31,6 +31,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: the spectroscopy roots refuse a line no more than 3x above the residual scatter, and `resonator_spectroscopy` is guarded at all.

This driver never reset one, so every run inherited whatever the previous process left in the modules. tergite-tuner resets on every non-recalibration start, on this same cluster, and reads this chip correctly. Two symptoms on one chip trace back to it. The first is the `wait_sync` deadlock fixed in ecaa5a8: a `sync_en` left set on a module the next schedule did not use, so every routine timed out at any `routine_timeout_s`. Calling `stop()` after each run clears it going forward; resetting on connection is the upstream half, and it also covers state left by something that is not this driver. The second is state preparation. Overlaying the resonator sweeps measured with and without an X pulse, the spectra differ by 1.1 sigma — an implied 4.4 kHz against an 11.5 kHz detection limit — while the same sweep after an additional ef pulse shifts by 114.7 kHz at 29.9 sigma. So the chip has ~60 kHz of dispersive pull per level and the readout resolves it easily, the ef pulse finds |1> population already there, and X does not change the populations at all. The only state X leaves unchanged is one with equal |0> and |1> populations, and a sequencer left emitting near f01 — the mw LO sits at 4.55 GHz, f01 at 4.736 GHz — saturates the qubit into exactly that. `reset.duration` cannot empty a level that is being refilled. It explains the whole pattern: rabi flat at 1.6e-4 contrast, qubit_spectroscopy finding no line, discrimination stuck at 0.52, chi(|1>) measured near zero four runs running — and, at the same time, ramsey_12 returning a fringe within 0.17% of its artificial detuning, because everything on the 1-2 ladder acts on population that is really present. Real clusters only: a dummy has no leftover state and need not support it. Done before any coupler bias is applied, so it cannot drop a current this process is holding — it does drop one held by a previous process, which is the intent. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../qpi_driver/executors/quantify/config.py | 19 ++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_quantify.py | 67 +++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 90 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index a1c000ee..31a567b0 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -18,6 +18,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: a quantify tuner or executor resets the cluster when it opens one. + Sequencer offsets, NCO frequencies and `sync_en` survive a reconnect, so the driver + inherited whatever the last process left emitting — which held this chip's qubit in a + mixture that made X the identity, and deadlocked `wait_sync` before that. - `qpi-driver/py`: a quantify tuner or executor stops the cluster after every run, including a failed one.

The chip's calibrated value is 0.5683; the six runs on record wrote 0.0134, 0.0233, 0.0272, 0.0319, 0.0133 and 0.0158 — between 17x and 43x too small. The X pulse in the most recent run rotates five degrees instead of 180, leaving 0.19% excited population. It is self-perpetuating, which is why it survived six runs. The first sweep was taken through a readout starved by `resonator_punchout` and fitted noise. From then on X was dead, so every later Rabi sweep was flat by construction, so it wrote another dead amplitude. Nothing failed; `require_in_range` passed because 0.0158 is inside the swept 0 to 0.5. Everything on the 0-1 side follows from it. `qubit_spectroscopy` finds no line because the drive it sweeps has nothing to say; `readout_discrimination` sits at 0.52 because |0> and X|0> are the same state to a fifth of a percent; `resonator_spectroscopy_excited` measures a 591 Hz dispersive shift where the second-excited sweep measures 126 kHz, because X moves no population while the ef pulse does. That last pair is what this fit had been hiding: it looked like a chip with no dispersive coupling, and it is a chip with no X gate. Guarded the same way as the RB decay, and calibrated the same way: the simulated chip's Rabi reaches a span-to-scatter of 211, and the two hardware sweeps that wrote a dead amplitude reached 1.41 and 1.78. Three refuses both with seventy times the margin on the simulator. The live device config on the instrument still holds 0.0158 and has to be restored to 0.5683 by hand — this only stops it happening again. --- CHANGELOG.md | 6 ++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 30 +++++++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 28 +++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 64 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 31a567b0..6fa07c6d 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -39,6 +39,12 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. the ground frequency they differenced against plus their own spectrum.

Both now require the fitted curve to stand at least 3x above its own residual scatter. Measured, as for the other three: on the simulated chip a Ramsey fringe reaches 194 and a T1 decay 117, and a T1 through 5% noise still reaches 20. This chip's t1 reached 0.47. This is the fourth fit needing the same test, so it moves into `core.py` as `require_resolved_curve` and `fit_rabi` and `fit_rb_decay` migrate onto it. Their messages were the only part that differed — what to do about a flat curve is not the same for a Rabi sweep as for an RB decay — so that is a parameter and the rest is shared. The evidence for the threshold now lives in one place, on `MIN_CURVE_TO_SCATTER`, rather than in two constants saying the same thing. Compared as a span, never by a parameter's sign or size: which way a feature points is a readout convention, and a small fitted parameter is sometimes exactly what success looks like — `fine_amplitude`'s slope is, which is why that fit is guarded on its normalisation instead and stays where it is. Both suites verified: the simulated chip clears all four guards, and its 8 pre-existing e2e failures are unchanged. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 52 +++++++++++++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 49 +++++++--------- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 56 +++++++++---------- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 32 +++++++++++ 5 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 6fa07c6d..91305af1 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -45,6 +45,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. runs after it played an X pulse that rotated five degrees — leaving every 0-1 measurement in the graph blind, and self-perpetuating, since a dead X gate guarantees the next Rabi sweep is flat. +- `qpi-driver/py`: `t1`, `t2_echo` and `ramsey` refuse a curve no taller than the + scatter it was fitted through. `require_in_range` allowed a time constant ten times + the window, so a flat sweep returned T1 = 169 us from a rising curve, and a ramsey + with no fringe moved f01 by 173 kHz. - `qpi-driver/py`: `fine_amplitude` and `fine_amplitude_12` refuse a demodulated sweep far past the bound their own model sets, rather than writing the `amp180` it implies.

The sweep was +/-20 MHz around whatever `clock_freqs.f01` already held, so a config carrying a design value — or one measured at a different flux bias — put the qubit outside every window the node would ever look in, and it refused what it fitted there. Six runs of "no drive power in the sweep resolved a line" on a chip sitting 302 MHz below its design frequency, with nothing in the message suggesting the window was the problem, and the operator left to supply by hand the one number the node exists to produce. Now the configured value is treated as what it is, a prior: when no line turns up near it, the routine sweeps 600 MHz and re-runs the narrow sweep where the line actually is. Costs nothing on a chip that is where it says it is, since the wide pass runs only after the narrow one has failed. The split is what keeps it safe. The wide pass only chooses where to look — what gets written still comes from the narrow sweep and still has to clear `require_resolved_line`. So a coarse grid, on which every real line is narrower than one step, can never be the thing that sets f01. The wide pass takes the tallest bin rather than a fitted centre, and that was not the first attempt. Fitting a Lorentzian there is wrong twice: on a 2 MHz grid there is no lineshape to fit, and an optimiser handed 301 points of noise returned a confident centre at snr 3, which cleared MIN_LINE_SNR in the simulator and would have aimed the narrow sweep at an arbitrary frequency. A peak-to-scatter ratio against a median absolute deviation separates cleanly instead: 115-126 on the line, 2.5-2.9 off it, against a floor of 6. Half a step of precision is all a locate pass owes. 600 MHz rather than wider because the ceiling is hardware, not ambition: an RF module reaches +/-500 MHz either side of its LO, so a 1 GHz search is addressable only when the LO sits at the search centre. 600 leaves 200 MHz of slack for an LO placed off-centre; past 300 MHz the operator still sets `search_span`, and the refusal says so. `measure` therefore has a second implementor, for a second reason: setpoints that depend on an earlier acquisition, not DC state between acquisitions. The compile tests now name `coupler_anticrossing` instead of deriving the exclusion from `measures_itself`, which no longer implies there is no schedule to build. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 + qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 7 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 11 +- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 212 +++++++++++++++++- .../py/tests/test_physics_simulation.py | 65 ++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 13 +- 6 files changed, 295 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index ec90def6..702c2775 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -60,6 +60,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. of the resonator linewidth, which no readout can resolve.

It bites now because `qubit_spectroscopy` widening to a search is three acquisitions: the narrow sweep that found nothing, the wide search, and the narrow sweep at what the search found. `coupler_anticrossing` has always been a loop of thirteen, and had the same exposure. The backend accumulates, the DAG resets the total per routine and target and reads it afterwards. Both paths in the DAG now compare against the total; on the single-schedule path it equals the last allowance, and is written that way so the two read alike. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 +++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py | 12 +++++++++ qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 17 +++++++----- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibrate_driver.py | 27 +++++++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/utils/simulation.py | 13 ++++++--- 5 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 3c6907e2..0e41e9da 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -77,6 +77,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: a schedule whose pulses outlast `routine_timeout_s` raises its own wait rather than failing, and says so.

That inverts the purpose — not knowing the parameters is the reason the nodes exist. Three failures on the August 2026 chip, all the same shape. `qubit_spectroscopy` swept +/-20 MHz about a design value the qubit was 302 MHz from, six runs in a row. `rabi` sweeps amplitude to 0.5 where the element validates [0, 1], and that chip's own working calibration used 0.5683 — above the top of the sweep, in a place `require_in_range` tests the wrong direction to catch. And `readout_operating_point` sweeps +/-1 MHz over three points on a resonator whose 370 kHz linewidth was measured two nodes earlier and sitting in the report. The RFC sorts every sweep into hardware-bounded (the LO is readable from a routine today, so the addressable band is derivable), physics-bounded (the bound is an upstream measurement the node currently ignores), or escalation-bounded (time constants, which have no derivable ceiling). The first two need no loop. The third reuses the six guards added this month: each already detects that the window cannot support the number, so each becomes a retry signal rather than a verdict. Two things it deliberately does not fix, both recorded in §10: a prior is still indistinguishable from a measurement in the device file, and a wrong window can still be *accepted* rather than refused — measured while writing this, a 61-point window of pure noise cleared MIN_LINE_SNR. Escalation only triggers on a refusal, so hardening the accept side is the sequel, and is what would have caught this chip on run one rather than run six. --- docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 299 +++++++++++++++++++ docs/rfcs/README.md | 6 +- 2 files changed, 303 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3a1143d5 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md @@ -0,0 +1,299 @@ +# RFC 0007 — Calibration Without Priors + +- **Status:** Draft +- **Author:** Martin Ahindura +- **Created:** 2026-08-12 +- **Depends on:** RFC 0004 (routines, the DAG walk), RFC 0005 (the completed graph, + check/calibrate/diagnose) +- **Touches:** `qpi-driver` (Python only — no new operation, no new event type, no + server or SDK change) + +## 1.

The config carried 4.7364 GHz, taken from a +`VNA_f01_frequency` in a device description that nothing in this driver had ever +measured. The qubit was at 4.4339 GHz — 302 MHz away, outside every window the node +would ever look in. The refusal it printed, *"no drive power in the sweep resolved a +line"*, was true and said nothing about the window. Six nodes downstream then measured +an unexcited qubit and fitted its noise, which read as six unrelated failures. + +**`rabi` could not have found the π pulse either.** Its default sweep is +`linear_setpoints(0.0, 0.5, 41)` while the element validates `amp180` in `[0, 1]` — +half the addressable range. That chip's own working calibration, from another +control stack, used `amp180 = 0.5683`. Above the top of the sweep. And +`require_in_range` cannot catch it: it checks that the fitted value lies *inside* the +swept range, which is the opposite test. + +**`readout_operating_point` sweeps ±1 MHz over 3 points.** The resonator's measured +linewidth was 370 kHz, so two of its three points sat 2.7 linewidths off resonance and +the node chose one of them.

Vocabulary + +- **Prior** — a value in the device config that has not been measured by this driver. + A design figure, a value from another control stack, a placeholder.

Decisions + +| Decision | Resolution | +|---|---| +| New operation or event type? | **No.** `calibrate` carries this. Python driver only. | +| What a `RoutineConfig` means | **Changed, and this is the core of the RFC.** Today a sweep parameter is often load-bearing: omit it and the node cannot work on this chip. After this, every sweep has a derived default that works on any chip the hardware can address; config may only *narrow* a search to save time. A node that cannot run without an operator-supplied range is a bug. | +| Where a bound comes from | Hardware config for instrument limits, upstream measurements for physical ones, escalation for the rest. New `tuners/base/limits.py`; the hardware config is already reachable from a routine via `device.hardware_config()`, as `has_flux_port` shows. | +| Guards as signals | **Changed.** The six "your window is wrong" guards added in August 2026 raise prose. They gain a structured form the caller can act on, so the same detection drives a retry instead of a failure. §6. | +| Routine interface | **Unchanged.** `measure` already absorbs a routine whose setpoints depend on an earlier acquisition — `qubit_spectroscopy` is the second implementor. No third interface. | +| Wide sweeps and the instruction budget | In scope as a **constraint**, not a feature: a derived default must fit a sequencer. Chunking a band across several acquisitions is an open question, §11. | +| Mixer calibration | **Out of scope.** Out-of-band, as RFC 0005 had it. | +| Crosstalk | **Out of scope**, unchanged from RFC 0005. | +| Removing `span`/`points` from configs | In scope, and last.

That is exactly the pattern this RFC generalises. It is also why that node was +the only one that ever found the August 2026 chip's qubit: it was the only node +searching from physics rather than from a prior. + +`conditional_phase` sweeps 0–360°. A phase has no range to guess at, so it never had +this problem. Every other node's range should be as unarguable as that one's. + +## 5. Three classes of bound + +**Hardware-bounded.** The range is a property of the instrument and is readable. A +Qblox RF module reaches its LO ±500 MHz — `NCO_FREQ_LIMIT_STEPS` over +`NCO_FREQ_STEPS_PER_HZ` in quantify's own constants — and the LO is in the hardware +config: + +```python +device.hardware_config().hardware_options.modulation_frequencies["q0:mw-q0.01"].lo_freq +# 4550000000.0 +``` + +So q0's drive port addresses 4.05–5.05 GHz and nothing else, and `qubit_spectroscopy` +can sweep that band by construction. Amplitudes are the same kind of fact: the element +validates `[0, 1]`, so a sweep that stops at 0.5 is not a bound, it is a typo with a +long life. There is nothing for an operator to know here, and no chip on which a +different answer is right. + +**Physics-bounded.** The range follows from something already measured plus a +constraint. A transmon's anharmonicity is negative and a few hundred MHz, so +`f12` lies in `[f01 − 400 MHz, f01 − 150 MHz]`. A readout optimum is within a few +linewidths of the resonance, and the linewidth was *measured upstream*: +`resonator_spectroscopy` reports it, and `readout_operating_point` ignores it. The +two trace nodes need a window a few ring-up times long, which is the same linewidth read +as a time. A DRAG optimum is near `−1/(2·alpha)`, which is why `drag_span` exists; it +should be centred on the measured anharmonicity rather than on zero. + +Note the direction of the dependency: every one of these is downstream of the node that +measures what bounds it. The graph already orders them correctly, so nothing here needs +a topology change — only for a node to read the report instead of a constant. + +**Escalation-bounded.** Time constants have no upper bound to derive. A fixed 0–100 µs +T1 sweep is wrong in both directions: at T1 = 300 µs the curve decays 28% and the +August 2026 span-over-scatter guard rightly refuses it, and at T1 = 2 µs it is over by +the second point. This is the only class that needs a loop, and it is the interesting +part of the design. + +## 6. Guards become signals + +The six guards added in August 2026 all detect the same thing from different angles: +*the window you swept cannot support the number you are about to write.* + +| Guard | What it detects | +|---|---| +| `require_resolved_line` | line narrower than the step, or not above the noise | +| `require_resolved_curve` | fitted curve no taller than its own residual scatter | +| `MIN_SHIFT_TO_LINEWIDTH` | the X gate did not excite the qubit | +| `MIN_SEARCH_PEAK` | nothing in a wide search stands above the scatter | +| `MAX_DEMODULATED` | a fine-amplitude sweep far past its model's bound | +| `require_in_range` | fitted value outside what was swept | + +Each is wired to a terminal failure. Several of them are more usefully read as +instructions: *"the decay was never seen in this window"* is a request for longer +delays, not a verdict on the chip. `require_in_range` firing on the high side is a +request for more amplitude. + +The proposal is a structured error the caller can act on: + +```python +class OutOfRange(RoutineError): + """The sweep was wrong, and in a known direction.""" + axis: str # "delays", "amplitudes", "frequencies" + direction: str # "wider" | "narrower" | "higher" + suggested: float # a scale factor or an endpoint +``` + +and one shared helper on the base routine that re-sweeps on it, with a bounded number +of attempts and a hard stop at the class's own bound — full scale for an amplitude, the +addressable band for a frequency, a configured ceiling for a delay. A node that +escalates three times and still cannot resolve its curve has found a dead qubit, which +is the only case that should fail. + +Two properties this must keep, both learned the hard way: + +- **Escalation must never widen what gets written.** The August 2026 search pass + chooses where to look and nothing else; the value still comes from a narrow sweep + that clears `require_resolved_line`. Widening a *reported* range would turn a guard + into a rubber stamp. +- **The timeout must follow the sweep, not bound it.** Already true: `allow()` raises + a schedule's wait to fit its own pulses, and as of August 2026 a multi-schedule + routine is judged on the sum of its allowances. So escalation cannot fail for being + slow, only for being stuck. Nothing further is needed here. + +## 7. What the operator's config becomes + +Today, a working `calibration.yml` for a new chip carries a paragraph of reasoning per +node and a hand-derived span for six of them, and every one of those numbers was found +by a failed run. After this RFC it carries: which qubits, which edges, a timeout, and +whatever the operator wants to *narrow* to save wall-clock on a chip they already know. + +The test of that claim is stated in §8 and is not satisfiable by argument. + +## 8. Testing strategy + +Three tiers as RFC 0004 §7 has them, plus one acceptance test that is the whole point. + +- **Tier 1.** `limits.py` against hand-written hardware configs: an LO at each end, a + missing entry, an unreadable config. Every derived range asserted against the + arithmetic, not against a recorded constant. +- **Tier 2.** Every derived default compiles. A band-wide frequency sweep is hundreds of + setpoints, and the sequencer's instruction budget is the constraint that makes this + more than a formality (§11). +- **Tier 3.** Per class: a simulated chip whose true value sits outside the *old* + default and inside the derived one. The August 2026 work has two of these already + (`test_a_configured_f01_hundreds_of_mhz_out_is_still_located`, and the refusal case). +- **Acceptance.** `test_a_chip_known_only_from_its_design_document_calibrates`: seed the + device with frequencies good to ±300 MHz, `amp180 = 0`, no coherence times, and + require the full walk to complete and `rb` to clear a fidelity threshold. + +That last test is the definition of "start from knowing nothing", and it belongs in +`test_calibration_e2e.py`, which walks the whole DAG over a simulated chip. Note for +whoever picks this up: that suite was red from late July to 12 August 2026 — every node +died on `AttributeError: 'SimulatedBackend' object has no attribute 'last_allowance_s'` +— and the failure was read as a stable baseline for two weeks of work. A suite that +proves the headline claim of the driver deserves a CI leg that cannot be mistaken for +noise, which is an argument for making it non-optional rather than `-m scqubits`. + +## 9. Implementation plan + +In this order, so each step is independently mergeable and the escalation loop comes +after the two classes that need no loop at all. + +1. **`tuners/base/limits.py`.** `addressable_band(device, port_clock)` from the LO and + the backend's IF limit; `full_scale(element, path)` from the element's own validator. + Tier-1 tests. No routine changes, so nothing can regress. +2. **The hardware-bounded class.** Frequency sweeps default to a coarse pass over the + addressable band, then the existing narrow sweep — the two-pass shape + `qubit_spectroscopy` already has, lifted into a shared helper. Amplitude sweeps go to + full scale. Finishes `qubit_spectroscopy`'s `search_span`, which is currently 600 MHz + because the LO was not yet known to be readable from a routine. +3. **The physics-bounded class.** The two operating points and both excited-state + resonator sweeps take their span from the measured linewidth. `f12_spectroscopy` + keeps its prior but bounds it to `[150, 400]` MHz. `drag` centres on the measured + anharmonicity. Cheapest phase, and it fixes a live readout bug. +4. **Escalation.** `OutOfRange`, the retry helper, and the bounded attempt count. Wire + `t1`, `t2_echo`, `ramsey`, `ramsey_12`, and the two CZ duration sweeps. +5. **The acceptance test, then the knobs.** Land the test; then delete every `span` and + `points` that phases 2–4 made redundant, from the routines' defaults and from the + operator's `calibration.yml`. A knob removed before its replacement is proven is a + regression, which is why this is last. + +## 10. What this does not fix + +**A prior is still indistinguishable from a measurement.** After this RFC the driver +finds the qubit wherever it is, but the device file still cannot say whether +`clock_freqs.f01` was measured by this driver or typed in from a design document. The +August 2026 chip carried `f01: 4735509751.238763` — nine significant figures, and the +line was never there. Provenance per parameter (which node wrote it, when, from what +signal-to-noise) would make a stale value visible instead of merely wrong. It is a +device-file format change and belongs in its own RFC. + +**A wrong window can still be *accepted*.** Escalation triggers when a guard refuses. +Measured on the simulated chip while writing this: a 61-point window of pure noise +produced a Lorentzian that cleared `MIN_LINE_SNR`, and a narrow sweep 250 MHz from the +qubit returned a confident frequency.

Six causes on screen, none of them the one that mattered. Before this month's guards those nodes did not even fail — they wrote the noise to the device file. So the idea is right, but the obvious mechanism is not. "If a node fails, skip its dependents" breaks this graph three ways, and the graph itself says so: - `depends_on` orders the walk, it is not a data dependency. `cz_chevron` depends on `rb` and `flux_spectroscopy` and neither writes a parameter; twelve of the thirty-three nodes write nothing at all. - Disabled is not failed. `qubit_spectroscopy` depends on `resonator_punchout`, switched off on that chip — naive propagation would skip the entire graph beneath it. - A refiner is not a producer. Seven parameters have two writers. `ramsey` only refines the `f01` that `qubit_spectroscopy` produced, so a failed `ramsey` would needlessly skip `drag`, `allxy`, `fine_amplitude`, `rb` and `allxy_check`. §11 therefore blocks on an unsatisfied *parameter* rather than a failed node, via a `reads` declaration to complement the `updates` routines already carry. A disabled sole producer becomes a config error raised before the walk instead of a cascade during it, and blocked nodes are skipped with the blocker named rather than auto-failed — fabricating six failures would be worse than the six misleading ones, and would feed the drift check a history that never happened. It lands as phase 0: independent of the rest, and it is what makes the failures of the later phases legible. Two new open questions — whether `reads` is declared or derived from `read_path`, and whether a skipped node keeps its stale parameter — both of which turn on §10's missing provenance field. --- docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 90 +++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 87 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md index 3a1143d5..9a1e86c5 100644 --- a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md +++ b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md @@ -70,7 +70,8 @@ a search but is never required to make one possible. | Where a bound comes from | Hardware config for instrument limits, upstream measurements for physical ones, escalation for the rest.

All now recorded in §13 with the reasoning, since two of them were decisions rather than details. **The accept side moves into scope** (§6.2). This was the structural one. It had been deferred to a sequel, and that was wrong: escalation only fires when a guard refuses, so a guard that *accepts* noise does not report one bad number — it bypasses the entire RFC, because the widening never runs. It is the trigger condition, not a parallel concern. Two changes, both cheap, and the cheaper one is stronger: scale `require_resolved_line`'s floor with the point count, and require `qubit_spectroscopy`'s centre to reproduce across a second drive power, which needs no new acquisition — `fit_spectroscopy_power` already fits every row and discards all but one. On the August 2026 chip its three rows fitted 782.7 kHz, 8.5 kHz and 28 kHz, so this is what would have refused run one rather than run six. It lands as phase 1, before the derived ranges, because measuring their effect through a broken detector measures nothing. **Supplied ranges become suggestions** (§7), and this collapsed a distinction the draft was carrying for nothing: an operator's `span` is just escalation's first attempt, with the derived bound as the fallback. Not a second mechanism — the narrow-then-widen shape `qubit_spectroscopy` already has *is* this design. A good hint saves a sweep; a wrong one costs one wasted sweep, bounded and reported. **Chunking, derived `reads`, and keeping a skipped node's value** adopted as suggested (§5, §11). Chunking gets the one constraint that is easy to miss: the chunks must overlap by a linewidth, or a line on a boundary is resolved in neither and reads as a dead qubit. Two declined, both in part rather than outright: Rewriting `calibration.yml` when a hint proves wrong. That file is hand-authored reasoning, and remembering a search hint is a bug this codebase already has — `spec.amplitude` latched at 0.16 in the device file and `qubit_spectroscopy` then only ever tried multiples of it, which is why the August 2026 config names amplitudes outright. Report the range that worked instead; same information, operator's choice. Staging writes in a separate store until the run succeeds — and here the diagnosis matters more than the answer. The August 2026 corruption was not an early commit: `rabi` reported *success* while writing 0.0158, so a staging store would have committed it too. Deferring cannot help when the producing node believes it succeeded, and the value cannot be withheld from the walk anyway since `rabi` reads the `f01` `qubit_spectroscopy` just wrote. An all-or-nothing commit would also discard the good measurements a partly failed run did make, which on this chip is the difference between converging and not. The part worth keeping is finer than a store: commit per parameter, gated on provenance. --- docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 251 ++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 195 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md index 9a1e86c5..92b76bd4 100644 --- a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md +++ b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md @@ -70,8 +70,14 @@ a search but is never required to make one possible. | Where a bound comes from | Hardware config for instrument limits, upstream measurements for physical ones, escalation for the rest.

Two adopted, and one that made the provenance problem much smaller than §10 had claimed. **Provenance needs no new format, and neither config file** (§10). The question was whether it could go in `calibration.yml` rather than the device file. Neither: the device file's schema is not ours — it deserialises into a `QuantumDevice` and quantify's models reject unknown keys, as `output_att` against the wrong config class demonstrated during this RFC's research — and writing to `calibration.yml` contradicts §7 one section later. But the data already exists. `RoutineResult` carries `routine_name`, `target`, `parameters`, `timestamp` and the `fit` a value came from, and the report is already emitted as an event payload. So every parameter this driver has written is recorded with when, by which node, and from what data. What is missing is a lookup, not a field — and that makes §2's "is this a prior?" exactly decidable with what ships today: is there a successful RoutineResult writing this parameter for this target? If nothing ever wrote `clock_freqs.f01` for q0, the device file's nine significant figures are a prior. The earlier framing as a device-file format change was wrong. **`reads` becomes declared, reversing the previous round's resolution** (§11). The observation behind the FIXME — that a node knows in advance what it reads — is right, and it undercuts the case for deriving at runtime: if the set is static, the runtime machinery buys nothing a test cannot. It also fails where the interface is least uniform. `coupler_anticrossing` and `qubit_spectroscopy` override `measure` and own their whole acquisition loop, so there is no `build_schedule` to inspect before deciding whether to run them, and a derived-at-runtime set cannot cover those two at all. So: declared like `updates`, with a test that instruments `read_path` and asserts the declaration covers what the code really reads. Six `analyse`-time reads hoisted, now enumerated rather than estimated — ef.py:439 and :660, single_qubit.py:233 and :513, spectroscopy.py:594 and :1018. A read after the acquisition cannot be a prerequisite, and each is a one-line move. **A per-node acquisition cap, with a default** (§5), for how wide a chunked sweep may get. Worth being clear why this is not the kind of knob the RFC removes: a resource budget needs no knowledge of the chip, where a range needs to know roughly where the answer already is. `routine_timeout_s` is already this kind, and nobody needs a qubit's frequency to set it. --- docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 134 ++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 88 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md index 92b76bd4..2f096772 100644 --- a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md +++ b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md @@ -75,7 +75,9 @@ a search but is never required to make one possible. | Guards that wrongly *accept* | **In scope**, §6, moved in from "does not fix".

Three settle open questions, one reverses a decision, and checking the second turned up an error in the RFC's own arithmetic. **Provenance goes in a sidecar the driver owns** (§10), which reverses the blanket "no second store" from the round before. That objection is sound against a second store of *values* — two sources of truth for what the chip is, needing synchronisation with the file the executor reads — and not against metadata that never holds a number anything needs to run a circuit. Delete the sidecar and you learn nothing about provenance, which is exactly today's position, so its worst failure is the status quo rather than a chip driven from a stale duplicate. Two properties it has to have. Merge per key, not per file: "overwritten each run" read literally erases the provenance of every parameter a run did not touch, and a partial run touches few. And safe to be absent, since a missing sidecar should mean "everything is a prior" rather than a failure — otherwise a fresh checkout cannot calibrate. **The IF limit is 500 MHz in both schedulers**, checked rather than assumed: `NCO_FREQ_LIMIT_STEPS / NCO_FREQ_STEPS_PER_HZ` is 2e9/4 in quantify-scheduler 0.28 and qblox-scheduler 1.0.0b4 alike. It still belongs on `SchedulerBackend` where `drag_span` is, because the fact belongs to the backend either way, but the agreement is recorded so nobody models a divergence that does not exist. That check also corrected §5. The instruction ceiling I had quoted — an empirical 12,376-works / 13,074-fails from the August 2026 cluster — was in units of acquisitions times an *estimated* instructions-per-acquisition, not counted instructions, and it straddles the QRM's real limit of 12,288. So the bracket was measuring my estimate. The real per-module ceilings are 16,384 for a QCM and 12,288 for a QRM, from the schedulers' own constants, and the QRM's is the binding one for anything that acquires. The conclusion survives — 501 acquisitions at ~6,500 instructions still fits — but phase 3's chunking arithmetic needs the right number, and `_log_program` already reports the compiled count at debug level. **Escalation lives in `measure`**, with the attempt count reported so the DAG and the report still see it. **`resonator_punchout` comes back** in phase 3: its amplitude grid stopping at 0.5 is exactly the hardware-bounded bug §5 fixes, so the phase that fixes the cause re-enables the node, with the August 2026 chip as the test case. §12 is down to one open question. --- docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 82 +++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 54 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md index 2f096772..73ffb5fd 100644 --- a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md +++ b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md @@ -77,9 +77,9 @@ a search but is never required to make one possible. | Skipping blocked nodes | In scope, §11 — and on *parameters*, not on failed nodes. `depends_on` orders the walk and is not a data dependency: `cz_chevron` depends on two nodes that write nothing at all.

All are now read in `build_schedule` and kept on the instance, as the setpoints already are. RFC 0007 §11 wants this because a read that happens after the acquisition cannot be checked as a prerequisite — the point of declaring what a routine reads is to decide whether to run it, and by `analyse` it has already run. It is also more honest on its own terms. `fine_amplitude` plays every X in its sweep at `rxy.amp180` and then read that value afterwards to interpret the result; nothing writes in between today, so the number was the same, but it described a sweep that had already happened rather than the one that was performed. Two of the six were reading a value `build_schedule` had already read to centre the sweep on, so those are now one read instead of two. `analyse` on `resonator_spectroscopy_excited` and `f12_spectroscopy` no longer touches the device at all, which is why the guard test for the dispersive shift now sets `_ground` alongside `_frequencies` and passes no device.

RFC 0007 §11 wants the DAG to decline a node whose input was never produced rather than let it measure an uncalibrated chip and fit the noise, and that decision is made before the node runs — so it needs the read set as data. Twenty-three routines declare one; the other ten read no device parameter at all. The sets were derived rather than guessed, by instrumenting `read_path` and building every routine against the real fixture device, which is also what ships as the test. Declared rather than derived at run time, per the RFC. The set is static — which paths a node needs is fixed at authoring time, only the values are dynamic — so runtime machinery buys nothing a test does not, and it fails where the interface is least uniform: `coupler_anticrossing` and `qubit_spectroscopy` override `measure` and own their acquisition loop, so there is no schedule to inspect before deciding whether to run them. `test_a_routine_declares_every_parameter_it_reads` closes the gap that argument opens. It patches `read_path` in the module that defines it *and* in every module that imported it — patching only the former would miss every routine — then asserts each declaration covers what the build actually asked for. Coverage rather than equality, since a declaration may be legitimately wider than one build's reads. Mutation-checked: blanking `fine_amplitude`'s declaration fails with `fine_amplitude reads ['rxy.amp180'] without declaring it`. The test builds its own tuner rather than sharing the module-scoped one, for the reason two of its neighbours already give: an earlier test in the file calls `Instrument.close_all()`, and a test that walks every routine needs a device that is readable whatever ran before it. One read in the graph the notation cannot reach, recorded where it is: `coupler_anticrossing` reads its *parent qubit's* `clock_freqs.f01` to centre each probe sweep, and `reads` names paths on a routine's own target. `depends_on` is what orders that one. 661 passed, the same 35 environmental failures; scqubits green at 143. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 10 +++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 33 +++++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/readout.py | 3 + .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 2 + .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 8 +++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/two_qubit.py | 8 +++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 72 +++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 139 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 67a8ddfe..387f8d54 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -84,6 +84,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: every routine reads the device before its acquisition rather than after it (RFC 0007 §11).

Before this month's fit guards, those six did not even fail: they wrote the noise to the device file and the next run inherited it. Blocking is on an unsatisfied *parameter*, not on a failed neighbour, because `depends_on` orders the walk and is not a data dependency. Three things fall out of that, each of which node-level propagation would get wrong, and each with a test: - `cz_chevron` depends on `rb` and `flux_spectroscopy`, neither of which writes a parameter — twelve of the thirty-three nodes write nothing at all — so a low benchmark cannot stop two-qubit calibration. - A failed *refiner* blocks nothing. `ramsey` failing leaves the `clock_freqs.f01` that `qubit_spectroscopy` produced. - A disabled node never ran, so it never failed. `time_of_flight` is switched off on that chip with `measure.acq_delay` legitimately set by hand. Skipped, not failed. Auto-failing would replace six misleading failures with six fabricated ones and feed the drift check a history of failures that never happened, so a blocked node goes to `report.notes` — which is already the field for what an operator needs and the event payload does not carry — and the summary log line gains a skipped count. A chain of skips names the failure that *started* it rather than the neighbour in front of it, which is the choice `diagnose` already makes in blaming the deepest failing ancestor. RFC 0007 §11 also called for a pre-walk config error when a disabled node is the only producer of a parameter something reads. Not implemented, because building it showed the check is wrong: `measure.integration_time` and `r12.ef_duration` have no producer anywhere in the graph and are supplied by hand on every chip, and that same chip disables `time_of_flight` while its `measure.acq_delay` is valid. The check cannot tell "never produced by design" from "producer switched off" without the provenance §10 defers, so it waits for that. 667 passed, the same 35 environmental failures; scqubits green at 143. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 + qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 97 ++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_dag.py | 142 +++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 241 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 387f8d54..5d0b6f8e 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -87,6 +87,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: a routine declares the device parameters it `reads`, the counterpart of the `updates` it already declared (RFC 0007 §11).

One of them — the accept side of the guards — was pulled into scope as §6.2, and the other grew sixty lines of settled design across three rounds of review. So the heading now describes neither what is under it nor how much of it is decided. The limitation itself stays: this RFC does not fix the fact that a prior and a measurement are indistinguishable, and saying so is the point of having the section. What did not belong under that heading is the answer — where provenance lives, why not the two config files, why staging value commits does not address what actually went wrong. That is design for the follow-up RFC, recorded here because it was argued out here. Retitled to "What this defers, and the shape it should take", with the status said outright — problem unfixed, answer decided, none of it built — and the design split into §10.1 and §10.2 so the deferral and its shape are not read as one thing. Also notes why the deferral is affordable: each of the three things wanting provenance has a weaker version that works without it, and §11's ledger is the worked example, asking "did this walk produce it?" rather than "was this ever measured?". --- docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 50 +++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md index 91df36f9..dd3d5aba 100644 --- a/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md +++ b/docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md @@ -348,10 +348,10 @@ after the two classes that need no loop at all. skips rather than a graph-wide puzzle.

What it makes possible + +Four things are already waiting on this, three of them in RFC 0007: + +| Consumer | Today's weaker version | With provenance | +|---|---|---| +| RFC 0007 §2's *prior* | Not decidable; the word is defined and unusable | `is there provenance for this parameter?` | +| RFC 0007 §11's ledger | "did *this walk* produce it?" | "was it ever measured, and how long ago?" | +| RFC 0007 §11's skipped nodes | Kept, unmarked | Kept and marked as unconfirmed by this run | +| RFC 0007 §11's withdrawn pre-walk check | Undecidable — a hand-supplied parameter and a disabled producer look alike | A disabled sole producer is an error only when the parameter has no provenance either | +| Write-back gating (§7) | All-or-nothing per run | Per parameter: commit what its producer measured and its guards passed | + +The ledger row is the substantive one. RFC 0007 §11 blocks a node when *this run* failed +to produce a parameter it reads, which is right for a bring-up and blind on a +recalibration: a chip whose `f01` was measured six months ago and has since drifted looks +identical to one measured an hour ago. Provenance turns that into an age, and an age is +what a drift check is entitled to act on. + +## 7. Why not stage the writes until the run succeeds + +The obvious alternative — hold every fitted value until the whole walk succeeds, then +commit — was considered and declined. The problem underneath it is real, so it is +worth being precise about which part. + +**The corruption it is aimed at was not caused by writing too early.** On the August 2026 +chip, `rabi` wrote `rxy.amp180 = 0.0158` against a calibrated 0.5683, and every later run +inherited it. A staging store would have held that value for the length of the walk and +then committed it, because the walk did not fail: `require_in_range` accepted 0.0158 and +`rabi` reported success. Deferring a commit does not help when the producing node believes +it succeeded, which is the case that actually happened. The August 2026 fit guards are +what address that, and did. + +**Nor can a value be withheld from the walk.** `rabi` needs the `f01` that +`qubit_spectroscopy` just wrote; downstream nodes read upstream results within a run by +construction. So the staging boundary could only ever be the file, never the in-memory +device. + +**And all-or-nothing has a cost of its own.** A run that measures the resonator and `f01` +correctly and then fails at `rabi` would discard two good measurements, so the next run +starts from the same bad priors. On that chip, that is the difference between converging +and not. + +What is worth taking from the idea is the per-parameter version, which is this RFC: +commit a parameter when the node that produced it succeeded *and* its guards passed, and +record which. That is a strictly finer boundary than a staging store, it needs no second +copy of any value, and it subsumes the all-or-nothing case. + +## 8. Testing strategy + +- **Tier 1.** The sidecar's own round trip: merge per key, an absent file, a corrupt + file, a file holding a target or path the device no longer has.

RFC 0005 already decided this, and against: it added a `check` form per node specifically so that "staleness is measured rather than remembered". An age threshold is remembering — it guesses at the answer a three-point check goes and measures for one acquisition. So §8 now states it as a conclusion rather than a question: two separate questions with two separate mechanisms. *Was this ever measured* is this RFC, answered from whether a record exists. *Is it still right* is RFC 0005's checks, measured per run. The timestamp is stored for the operator and the report, and nothing compares it to a threshold. That also removed a contradiction §6 had acquired: its ledger row claimed provenance turns the question into "an age, and an age is what a drift check is entitled to act on". It does not, and the row now says what the ledger actually wants — whether a parameter was measured in *some* run rather than only in this one, which is what makes a partial recalibration checkable at all. **And the document used "provenance" without defining it.** The word means "where a thing came from" — a gallery's paperwork proving a painting is what it claims — and an RFC whose title is a term of art owes the reader that in the first paragraph rather than assuming it. §1 says it plainly and §2 explains both it and "sidecar", which had the same problem. --- docs/rfcs/0008-parameter-provenance.md | 71 ++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/rfcs/0008-parameter-provenance.md b/docs/rfcs/0008-parameter-provenance.md index 3d9ad0ca..a5ce386c 100644 --- a/docs/rfcs/0008-parameter-provenance.md +++ b/docs/rfcs/0008-parameter-provenance.md @@ -10,9 +10,11 @@ ## 1.

It was green because `qubit_spectroscopy` returned a broad noise fit clearing both the old signal-to-noise floor and the linewidth test — and because nothing downstream cares. `_acquire_rabi` passes only amplitudes to the simulator, and rabi, ramsey, t1 and t2 all build their Hamiltonian with no detuning. The physics is already present: `_anharmonic_hamiltonian(detuning_ghz=0.0)` is the drive-frame Hamiltonian and carries the delta term. Only spectroscopy passes a detuning; the four gate call sites take the default. So a drive 302 MHz off resonance rotates the simulated qubit exactly as well as one on resonance — the one thing this month's hardware failure turned on. Also records the wrinkle worth knowing before starting: `SimulatedBackend` answers from the schedule, and a schedule carries no clock frequency for a gate, so `SimulatedTuner` is the natural place to set the detuning from configured minus true f01. And the reason this comes before phase 3: the loop fixture is now red with three possible fixes — clamp the sweep, change the fixture, widen the span — and two of them restore the blind spot.

Ramsey's sign is the load-bearing one: a device configured 3 MHz *above* the qubit gives a 4 MHz fringe against a 1 MHz artificial detuning, so the residual is +3e6 and `clock_freq_01 = current - detuning` lands on the true f01. The other sign would correct away from it. T1 is unmoved, the term being diagonal and so is the state. The echo refocuses the detuning away — 0.4798 against 0.4782 at 302 MHz, which is shot noise. **Where the number comes from.** A schedule carries no clock frequency for a gate; only a `SetClockFrequency` sweep does. So `SimulatedBackend` takes the device it is calibrating and reads `configured f01 - true f01` off it, per run rather than once — a walk that corrects f01 at spectroscopy has to get gates that then work, which is the DAG's whole premise. `SimulatedTuner` hands its device over at construction. No device means zero, so every direct caller is unchanged. **`_free` now exponentiates the Liouvillian instead of stepping to it.** Not cosmetic: with a detuning in the frame, `t2_echo` and `ramsey` died outright with `IntegratorException: Excess work done` — a few hundred MHz over a microsecond idle is thousands of radians of accumulated phase, which exhausts any step budget. This is the same failure `coordinator._propagate` documents and the same fix, and over a Hamiltonian constant across the interval `exp(L·t)` is exact as well as faster. **What this does not change: `test_calibration_loop.py`.** It runs the tuners over `SimulatedCoordinator`, which reads clock frequencies off the compiled schedule's clock resources and has always been detuning-aware — and it already carries the negative test, `test_an_uncalibrated_chip_gets_the_answer_wrong`, asserting an X gate 214 MHz off leaves the qubit in |0>. So §14's "the suites cannot detect a wrong clock_freqs.f01" holds only for the schedule-reading shortcut in tests/utils, which is what this commit fixes. The loop fixture's `f01: 5e9` is load-bearing and correct: spectroscopy's 600 MHz span genuinely finds 5.2142 GHz. Its three-way fix on `wip/rfc0007-accept-side-and-band` is not a fixture question — the fixture LO puts the true line at 224 MHz of IF, well inside the 500 MHz limit, and the rejected 5.040000e+08 setpoint is the widening search overshooting a clamp that is not being applied. Changing the fixture or widening the span would restore the blind spot. Tier 3 asserts all of it: no usable contrast at 302 MHz, `fit_rabi` refusing that sweep, and the wiring — the same routine through `SimulatedBackend` fitting at the true f01 and refusing at true + 302 MHz. 143 passed -> 146 passed on `-m scqubits`, nothing regressed. The fast suite is unchanged at 667 passed with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/simulation/transmon.py | 64 ++++++++++++------ .../py/tests/test_physics_simulation.py | 66 +++++++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/utils/simulation.py | 58 ++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 166 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 5d0b6f8e..cdb4eb0c 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -18,6 +18,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: the simulator's `rabi`, `t1`, `t2_echo` and `ramsey` carry the drive + detuning, so a wrong `clock_freqs.f01` costs a calibration its contrast.

Rewritten to record what was actually true, since the RFC is the durable artefact and a commit message is not where a reader will look. **§14 claimed "the suites cannot detect a wrong clock_freqs.f01".** One of the two could. `test_calibration_loop.py` runs the tuners over `SimulatedCoordinator`, which reads clock frequencies off the compiled schedule's clock resources and has always tracked per-qubit detunings — and it already carried `test_an_uncalibrated_chip_gets_the_answer_wrong`, asserting that an X gate 214 MHz off leaves the qubit in |0>. Verified both before rewriting. The blind spot was only in `tests/utils/simulation.py`'s schedule-reading shortcut. **And on that basis, the three-way fix I warned about did not exist.** I told the next session that the loop fixture's red had three possible fixes — clamp the sweep, change the fixture, widen the span — and that two would re-hide the bug. Wrong: the fixture's `f01: 5e9` is load-bearing and correct, its LO puts the true line at 224 MHz of IF, and the rejected 5.040000e+08 setpoint is simply the widening search overshooting a clamp that is not being applied. So the warning pointed at the wrong door, and changing the fixture would have restored the blind spot for no reason at all. The practical effect is that phase 2's remaining work is a plain bug rather than a question of what the fixture is for, and phase 3's acceptance test can now be written honestly.

So the ``5.040000e+08`` setpoint that suite rejects on +`wip/rfc0007-accept-side-and-band` is **not** a fixture question and never had three +possible fixes: it is the widening search overshooting a clamp that is not being applied. +Changing the fixture or widening the span would have restored the blind spot for nothing, +which is exactly the trap this section warned about — while pointing at the wrong door. + +**What this leaves.** Phase 3's acceptance test can now be written honestly: a wrong f01 +fails on its own through both simulator paths. And phase 2's remaining work is a plain +bug in `addressable_band`'s application, with a suite that can judge it. From b6cc138cdf91acc62d3f09189e731175245273b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Ahindura Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 20:46:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 031/130] feat(qpi-driver): refuse a spectroscopy line drawn through noise, and sweep only what the port can reach MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit RFC 0007 phases 1 and 2. Both land here; the two commits after this one finish the job, and the three are green together. ## Phase 1: what decides whether there is a line `require_resolved_line` judged a fit on `snr` — the fitted amplitude over the residual scatter — against a floor of 3. That cannot work at any setting, and the RFC's plan to scale the floor with the point count would not have helped. `snr` divides a *fitted parameter* by the residual, so an optimiser handed noise can return whatever it likes. Over 1800 fits of pure noise that had already cleared the linewidth test: snr 99th percentile 570-2700, maximum 7048, and 16% to 55% cleared 3.0 reach 99th percentile 3.4-3.6, maximum 4.2 where `reach` is how far the fitted *curve* travels against the scatter left around it. Bounded on noise because the numerator is the curve's realised span rather than a free parameter — an optimiser cannot inflate it without the residuals growing to match. A real line reaches 93 on the August 2026 chip's resonator and 104 to 139 on the simulated qubit, at spans from 4 MHz to 600 MHz. So the floor is 5.0 and it separates by nineteen times. `snr` stays, and still chooses between drive powers. That is a comparison rather than a threshold, and as a comparison it is sound. The other half of the RFC's plan — requiring a centre to reproduce across drive powers — does not apply on the chip that motivated it: only one row there survives the linewidth test, so there is nothing to reproduce against. Recorded in the RFC rather than built. ## Phase 2: how wide a sweep may be `tuners/base/limits.py` derives a port's addressable band from its local oscillator and `SchedulerBackend.if_limit_hz`. That limit is 500 MHz, checked rather than assumed: `NCO_FREQ_LIMIT_STEPS / NCO_FREQ_STEPS_PER_HZ` is 2e9/4 in quantify-scheduler 0.28 and qblox-scheduler 1.0.0b4 alike, so no divergence is being modelled speculatively — the hook exists so a non-Qblox backend has somewhere to disagree. Every frequency sweep and the widening search now trim to it. A span is symmetric about a frequency and the LO is not at its centre, so a wide one runs off the end of the module's range, and asking for the part outside fails compilation with `Attempting to set NCO frequency` naming neither the routine nor the setpoint. Explicit `frequencies` are left alone: an operator listing setpoints has said what they want. Two bugs were behind the first rejection this turned up. Two `_frequency_sweep` call sites never threaded the backend through, so they were never clamped; and clamping to the band edge exactly put a setpoint *on* the limit, which the NCO's quarter-hertz rounding then placed a fraction outside — hence `_BAND_MARGIN_HZ`. ## What phase 1 exposed The loop fixture claims f01 = 5.0 GHz against a simulated qubit at 5.2142 GHz, and was green because `qubit_spectroscopy` returned a broad noise fit that cleared both the old floor and the linewidth test. With that refused the widening search fires and lands on 5214000000 Hz — one search step from the truth, which is all a locate pass owes. What it then could not do was confirm the line, for reasons the next two commits fix. --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py | 9 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/limits.py | 61 +++++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 50 ++++--- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/lorentzian.py | 44 ++++-- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 127 +++++++++++++++--- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 49 +++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/utils/simulation.py | 3 + 7 files changed, 288 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) create mode 100644 qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/limits.py diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py index 40615c60..52643f09 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/backend.py @@ -48,6 +48,15 @@ class SchedulerBackend(ABC): #: not so much room that the straight line the fit assumes stops holding. drag_span: float + #: How far either side of its local oscillator a port can be driven, in Hz.

That reference has now been wrong three times: dropping rows that did not converge was not enough, and nor was dropping rows narrower than the sweep step. What survives both is a row that converges, clears the step, and still shows nothing — and being weak it *is* the narrowest, so `MAX_BROADENING` rejects every row that does show the line and the answer comes from the row with no line in it. Measured through the loop path at a 40 MHz window centred on a line the search had just located: drive linewidth reach 0.005 0.01 MHz 2.7 dropped: narrower than the step 0.010 0.01 MHz 2.7 dropped: narrower than the step 0.020 3.11 MHz 2.6 became the reference 0.040 90.97 MHz 3.6 rejected as broadened 0.080 197.83 MHz 17.0 rejected as broadened Widening the window does not fix it — at 200 MHz a 6.24 MHz row took the same role and rejected three good rows, and 100 MHz only passed because the weak rows happened to fit narrower than the step. So the fix is the eligibility rule, not the span: a row must clear `MIN_LINE_REACH` to be the reference. That constant moved to `fitting/core.py`, since the fitting layer now needs it and does not import `base`. A sweep where no power shows a line is refused as a power sweep, naming the best reach it saw, rather than reporting the least bad row. This is what unblocks phase 1 + 2: `test_calibration_loop.py` goes from 28 fixture errors to green, and the widening search lands on 5214000000 Hz against a true f01 of 5214163573 — one search step out, which is all a locate pass owes. **146 passed on -m scqubits, exit 0**, and 669 on the fast suite with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures. Two tier-1 regression tests carry the table above, both mutation-checked: with the eligibility filter removed they fail with "the answer came from the row with no line in it". --- CHANGELOG.md | 12 ++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 24 +------ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 21 ++++++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/lorentzian.py | 58 ++++++++++++++--- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 64 +++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 146 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index cdb4eb0c..b703e908 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -22,6 +22,18 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. detuning, so a wrong `clock_freqs.f01` costs a calibration its contrast.

B alone turned both suites green, so this is a margin fix rather than a correctness one, and the margin was the whole problem. The confirming sweep's window was four search steps, a constant I guessed. Measured against the simulated chip's line — about 140 MHz wide at the drive that shows it — that constant lands on 40 MHz, and 40 MHz is the row that passes by nothing at all: 20 MHz refused, nothing clears the floor 40 MHz reach 5.0, exactly at the floor, f01 1.62 MHz out 100 MHz reach 60.7, f01 0.88 MHz out 200 MHz reach 83.5, f01 1.17 MHz out 400 MHz reach 31.5, f01 0.97 MHz out Green on a floor of 5.0 with a measurement of 5.0 is green by luck, and it would flake on another noise seed. A little over one width is the sweet spot — enough baseline either side to measure the line against, without diluting it across a window it does not fill — so the span is now 1.5x the width, floored at four search steps for a line the grid cannot resolve and capped at the search span. `_search` therefore returns how wide as well as where, counted rather than fitted: the bins standing at least half the peak above the baseline, to the resolution of the grid. Crude on purpose, since a fit there is what that pass exists to avoid, and it only has to size the sweep that follows. End to end through `measure` on the loop fixture, against a true f01 of 5214163573: reach 27.2 rather than 5.0, and f01 out by -0.42 MHz rather than +1.62.

Records what the phases actually delivered against what they proposed, since two things differed: Phase 1 replaced the signal-to-noise floor rather than rescaling it, for the reason §6.2 now carries. And the second half of §6.2 — reproducing a centre across drive powers — does not apply on the chip that motivated it, because only one row there survives the linewidth test, so there is nothing to reproduce against. Phase 2 grew a second job. The band is not only for the search: every frequency sweep trims to it, because a span symmetric about a configured frequency is not symmetric about the LO. `full_scale` is still outstanding and moves to phase 3 with the amplitude sweeps. And the ordering argument paid twice, which is worth recording because it was a judgement call. Putting the accept side before the derived ranges exposed §14's detuning gap, and then two pieces of §5's physics-bounded class that phase 2 would never have reached — the broadening reference, and sizing the confirming sweep from a measured width.

The August 2026 chip's own working calibration, from another control stack, used `amp180 = 0.5683` — above the top of the sweep — so every Rabi run came back flat and the amplitude it wrote left X rotating five degrees. `require_in_range` cannot catch that: it checks the fitted value lies *inside* the swept range, which fires on a value that is too small and is silent on one that is missing for being too large. **And §1 was wrong about where the bound comes from.** It said the element validates `amp180` in [0, 1]. It does not: quantify's `BasicTransmonElement` validates `rxy.amp180` in [-10, 10], a sanity range rather than a drive bound, so *nothing on the element stops a pi pulse being set to 5*. Only `spec.amplitude` and `r12.ef_amp180` on a `CalibratedTransmon` are bounded at one. The real ceiling is full scale, because a waveform past it clips — a hardware fact — so `limits.full_scale` returns the smaller of the element's declared maximum and 1.0, and documents which is which. **81 points, not 41.** Doubling the range keeps the *step* rather than the count: the step is what the fit needs and the range is only where to look. At 41 the simulated chip's Rabi still lands within 1.6%, but the same halving put `rabi_12` 10.3% off a sqrt(2) ladder. **And `rabi_12` is deliberately left at half scale**, which is the finding here. Its ceiling is the *model*, not the hardware: `_drive_ef` neglects the off-resonant 0-1 term, and `f12_spectroscopy` already records that half a pi pulse is where that starts to matter. Sweeping the EF drive to 1.0 samples a regime the cosine this fit assumes does not describe, and it showed twice — the fitted EF pi moved to 0.1577 against 0.1429 for the ladder, and `ramsey_12`'s fringe fell to 2.8x its scatter against the 3x its guard allows. So the EF bound is physics-bounded (§5) and lower than the hardware one, with `full_scale` still the ceiling on the ceiling. 672 passed on the fast suite with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures, 146 on -m scqubits, exit 0. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 +++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/limits.py | 35 +++++++++++++++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 16 ++++++++- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 18 +++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 35 +++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 106 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 77c44fc3..0b0708b1 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -30,6 +30,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. broadening reference the other powers are judged against.

So the nodes that need it guessed: a 2 MHz constant, on a chip whose resonator is 370 kHz wide. That put `readout_operating_point`'s outer setpoints 2.7 linewidths off resonance and it chose one of them, which is why readout had to be hand-tuned to recover. `CalibratedTransmon` gains a `resonator` submodule with `linewidth`, on both the quantify and the qblox side — kept parallel deliberately, since a parameter present on one and missing on the other is how the qblox tuner once became unable to calibrate at all. `resonator_spectroscopy` now writes it, and both resonator checks read it through `measured_linewidth`, falling back to their constant. Opt-in like every other addition to that element: a plain `BasicTransmonElement` has no `resonator` submodule, `resonator_linewidth_path` returns None, and those chips keep the constant they had. Zero means "not measured" — the initial value — so having the field and having a value stay different questions, and only the second may size a sweep. `check_linewidth` in the config still wins over both, because an operator overriding it is making a statement about their chip and this is not evidence against it. Verified end to end rather than by absence of failure: the element reads 0.0 and falls back to 2 MHz, a calibration writes 3.31 MHz, and `measured_linewidth` then returns that. Worth noting the fitted 3.31 MHz against the model's 2.0 MHz kappa — power broadening at the configured readout amplitude, which is the whole argument for using the measured value: the sweeps should be sized by what the readout actually sees, not by the resonator's zero-power width. The three consumers that size their spans from it — the two operating points and the two excited-state sweeps — still use their own constants. That is the next commit. 673 passed on the fast suite with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures, 146 on -m scqubits, exit 0. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../qblox/elements/calibrated_transmon.py | 14 +++++ .../quantify/elements/calibrated_transmon.py | 27 +++++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/device.py | 30 ++++++++++ .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 56 +++++++++++++------ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 35 ++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 148 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 0b0708b1..594253be 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -30,6 +30,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. broadening reference the other powers are judged against.

The fitted check is the stronger half — a line can be real and still be the wrong line, a two-photon transition or a neighbour's, and the spacing is what says which. This node is the only one that knows both frequencies. **`drag` is deliberately left centred on zero.** §5 proposed centring it on the measured anharmonicity, and nothing measured says the symmetric sweep is wrong: its failure on the August 2026 chip was contrast — a slope of -3.7e-5 through data scattered by 1.4e-4, from a dead X gate — not placement, and the guards catch that. Centring would also need the anharmonicity stored and then converted into each scheduler's own DRAG units, which differ by a pulse sigma. Speculative mechanism against no measurement, so it waits for one. 683 passed on the fast suite with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures, 146 on -m scqubits, exit 0. --- CHANGELOG.md | 7 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 29 ++++- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 63 +++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 116 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 209 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 5e919b35..ae06f946 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -30,6 +30,13 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. broadening reference the other powers are judged against.

It subclasses `FitError` deliberately, so every existing `except FitError` keeps working and a routine that knows nothing about escalation behaves exactly as it did. `require_resolved_curve` raises it when the caller names an axis, and the coherence fits name `delays`, because for a decay a flat curve means the window was short far more often than it means the chip is dead. `CalibrationRoutine.escalating` follows it: build, run, analyse, and on `OutOfRange` widen and retry. `ramsey`, `t1` and `t2_echo` opt in. Three attempts at fourfold each reaches 64 times the original extent, which covers a chip an order of magnitude from the default without searching indefinitely. Two properties, both of which the tests pin: - A chip with no decay in it still fails, and with the fit's own words. Escalation re-raises the last refusal rather than inventing a range. - An operator who named the delays is left alone. Their setpoints are a statement about their chip and widening past them would overrule a measurement with a default. That needed the operator's keys captured *before* the loop — widening writes its own setpoints into the config, so asking afterwards finds this method's own work and mistakes it for an instruction, which cost two of the three attempts. `_widened` reads the setpoints from the routine rather than the config, because the default case is the one that matters: a config with no `delays` in it is exactly the config whose sweep needs widening. 686 passed on the fast suite with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures, 146 on -m scqubits, exit 0. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 87 ++++++++++++++++++- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/__init__.py | 1 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 41 ++++++++- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 3 + .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 49 +++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_dag.py | 66 ++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 248 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index ae06f946..6b61321a 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -30,6 +30,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. broadening reference the other powers are judged against.

It recovers f01 to 0.6 MHz from 214 MHz away. Every hint the loop config used to carry is gone, and each was a number found by a failed run — a 600 MHz spectroscopy span, explicit Rabi amplitudes, a 400 MHz f12 span, 601 Ramsey delays. `_sweep` returns `{}` and says what the defaults now do instead. Writing the test found the last two range bugs, which is what it was for. **`ramsey`'s default was wrong in two directions at once** — 41 points over 10 us. Too coarse: 250 ns steps put Nyquist at 2 MHz against a fringe of about 9, so the cosine fitted a slow beat that is not there and reported T2* = 1361 seconds. Too short: 10 us against a 20 us coherence, so the decay never finished. Escalation cannot walk out of that, because it moves one axis per attempt and widening for the unfinished decay coarsens the step that was already aliasing. 601 points over 24 us satisfies both, and 720 would still fit the sequencer's ceiling of about 950 — so one sweep can, and this is the sweep an operator had to supply by hand. `fit_ramsey` now tells the two apart rather than reporting both as a range failure: a T2* modestly past the window wants a longer one, a T2* absurdly past it was aliased and wants a denser one. A hundred windows separates them — a genuine overrun is single digits, an alias is orders of magnitude. `OutOfRange` gained `direction="finer"` for that: same reach, more resolution. **And `rabi` to full scale was the wrong fix, from an earlier commit.** Both bounds are real and they pull against each other: a sweep stopping at 0.5 cannot find the 0.5683 a real chip needed, but starting at full scale put amp180 6.9% out where half scale lands within 1%, because a strongly driven transmon stops being the cosine the fit assumes. Removing the loop config's explicit amplitudes is what surfaced it. So the default measures where the model holds and `fit_rabi` raises `OutOfRange` when the pi pulse is above the sweep — the one direction `require_in_range` cannot usefully report, since it fires the same way for a value that is too small. `escalating` reaches from there, capped at full scale because a waveform past that clips. 685 passed on the fast suite with the usual 35 environmental macOS failures, 148 on -m scqubits, exit 0. --- CHANGELOG.md | 5 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 11 ++- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 9 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 51 +++++++++- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 69 ++++++++++--- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_loop.py | 97 ++++++++++++++----- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 13 ++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 96 +++++++----------- 8 files changed, 243 insertions(+), 108 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 6b61321a..f33f575b 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -30,6 +30,11 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. broadening reference the other powers are judged against.

Phase 3 reached full scale by *escalation* rather than by default: starting there put amp180 6.9% out and took rabi_12 off its sqrt(2) ladder, since a strongly driven transmon stops being the cosine the fit assumes. Chunking was never needed — nothing derived exceeded the sequencer. Phase 4 landed everywhere but `three_state_operating_point`, where placement wants more points and points are capped at five by the single-shot registers. That span waits for the register budget rather than a better coefficient. `drag` stays centred on zero: §5 proposed otherwise and no measurement supports it. Phase 5 needed two escalation directions rather than one. A flat decay wants a longer window and a flat oscillation wants a denser one, and asking for the wrong one makes the other worse — which is how `ramsey` was failing. Phase 6's acceptance test is the RFC's own claim, and writing it found the last two range bugs: `ramsey`'s default was wrong in both directions at once, and `rabi` to full scale was the wrong fix from phase 3. Status moves to Implemented, here and in the index.

A constant cannot say it: low enough that the simulated chip's own gate error dominates and it passes whatever the calibration did, high enough to mean something and it pins the test to how the simulator is tuned. Assert against the error the simulator was given instead, as test_rb_recovers_a_known_gate_error does one tier down. Two claims replace the threshold — rb recovers the injected error, and a worse chip benchmarks worse — and both hold at any injected level, so neither tracks the tuning. The expected value is derived rather than written down, which caught a real factor of three: the simulator depolarises once per primitive rotation, not per Clifford, so the naive p*(d-1)/d was 3x low. clifford_to_gates puts the mean at 3.08 primitives per Clifford, and 0.5*(1-(1-p)**3.08) predicts 0.0062/0.0302/0.0731 against the 0.0060/ 0.0303/0.0733 measured at p = 0.004/0.02/0.05.

A device config records what every parameter is; nothing records whether anything ever measured it. The August 2026 chip carried a nine-significant-figure f01 that read as a measurement while the qubit sat 302 MHz away, and six runs went into the consequences. ProvenanceStore keys (target, dotted path) in a sidecar beside the device config, holding metadata only — never a value, so it is never a second source of truth for what the chip is. Merged per key in both directions: save() re-reads the file and merges into that, so a partial run cannot erase the ninety parameters it did not touch, or one another process wrote while it ran. Absence is never an error. Missing, empty, corrupt, not-a-mapping, or a record naming no routine all resolve to "prior", which is both the conservative answer and exactly the behaviour before this existed — a fresh checkout has no sidecar and must still calibrate. save() swallows its own write failures for the same reason: the values are already in the device config, and a chip measured correctly must not be reported as failed because metadata could not be written. Nothing calls it yet, so nothing can regress. Two of RFC 0008 §11's open questions are settled by building it: one file rather than one per target, and the fit summary is the four scalars a guard actually judged (snr, reach, contrast, separation) rather than the sweep behind them. --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/provenance.py | 202 +++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_provenance.py | 236 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 438 insertions(+) create mode 100644 qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/provenance.py create mode 100644 qpi-driver/py/tests/test_provenance.py diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/provenance.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/provenance.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000..41bb5b06 --- /dev/null +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/provenance.py @@ -0,0 +1,202 @@ +"""Which routine last measured each parameter, and when (RFC 0008). + +A device config records what every parameter *is*.

fefd5322f716e5f4b216ce4753dbb4f2ab0617cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Ahindura Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 04:15:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 044/130] feat(qpi-driver): record provenance for what a calibration measured MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit RFC 0008 phase 2. Written from _persist, after the device write-back and only when it succeeded: provenance describes what is *in the file*, so recording it for a value that never reached disk would assert a measurement the config does not hold. That placement also gives RFC 0008 §7's per-parameter gate for free, without threading a store through the DAG. report.routine_results holds only routines that succeeded — the walk appends one on the success path alone — so a parameter is attributable exactly when its producer succeeded, its guards passed, and its value was persisted. A refiner overwrites the producer's record, so f01 ends up attributed to ramsey rather than to qubit_spectroscopy. Which paths a routine wrote is taken from `updates`, filtered by a new device.has_path: several updates are opt-in CalibratedTransmon fields that a plain BasicTransmonElement has nowhere to keep, and apply skips those rather than failing, so declaring them written would be a false record. The tier-2 tests assert both directions against a walk that really ran, instrumenting write_path the way the reads invariant already does — what was written, not what was declared. A one-point rabi sweep is the failure case: rabi fails, no provenance for amp180, and f01's record survives. Two things the tests found. A 1 Hz spectroscopy span no longer fails a run at all, because RFC 0007's escalation widens it back into success — so inducing a failed walk now needs a routine that cannot succeed at any width. And the run identifier is the report timestamp rather than the job id, which is not plumbed into Tuner.calibrate; every walk has one, and it distinguishes runs without an API change. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/__init__.py | 53 +++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/device.py | 16 ++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_e2e.py | 143 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 216 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 3f30b79a..c2ac56d6 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -18,6 +18,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: an end-to-end test asserts the benchmarked gate error against the one the simulator was given, so a calibration that leaves a gate wrong now fails the suite instead of clearing a fixed fidelity threshold. +- `qpi-driver/py`: a calibration writes a `*.provenance.yml` beside the device config + recording which routine last measured each parameter, and when.

The walk now reads the sidecar and reports, per target and per routine result, which of its inputs are priors. A parameter counts as attributable if this walk produced it or some earlier run recorded that it did — the union, because "produced here" alone is right for a bring-up and too narrow afterwards, when a partial run produces almost nothing and would find almost nothing checkable. The notes distinguish two kinds, which is where their value is. A prior a routine in this walk is about to measure is ordinary; a prior nothing in this walk measures is a number somebody supplied, and every result derived from it is only as good as that number. The August 2026 f01 was the second kind and nothing said so for six runs. One note per target and kind, not per parameter — twenty notes per qubit is a wall rather than a warning. RoutineResult.priors stays out of to_event_payload, for the reason CalibrationReport.notes already does: the payload is one contract asserted in Go and TypeScript, and RFC 0008 §3 declines to extend it here. Two corrections found by looking at the output rather than the tests. Priors are filtered to paths the element actually has — spec.amplitude and measure.integration_time do not exist on a BasicTransmonElement, so they were being reported as unmeasured on every run, forever, which is the permanent-warning noise that sank RFC 0007 §11's first pre-walk check. And Tuner._component_for became device.component_for, since the DAG needs the same resolution. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/__init__.py | 21 ++-- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 109 +++++++++++++++++- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/device.py | 9 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/report.py | 6 + qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_e2e.py | 87 ++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 221 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index c2ac56d6..98774eae 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -22,6 +22,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. recording which routine last measured each parameter, and when.

Two consumers. A skipped node now names each parameter it left standing and the routine and time that last measured it, which is the proviso RFC 0007 §11 attached to keeping stale values rather than clearing them. And §11's withdrawn pre-walk check is back: provenance splits a prior a routine in this run will measure, a prior whose producer is out of this run, and a path no routine produces anywhere — the three cases the original rule could not tell apart, which is why it fired on every chip and was pulled. It reports rather than refuses, and the third case is silent. Refusing would take working chips down: every chip calibrated before the sidecar existed has measured values and no provenance. The plan's other item is deliberately not done, and RFC 0008 §6 now records why. Relaxing the ledger's blocking rule for a parameter an earlier run measured looks right — the device does hold a real number — and is wrong. A failure to measure f01 is evidence against whatever f01 the file holds, because the usual reason spectroscopy finds no line is that the qubit is not where the file says; running the six nodes behind it against last week's value fits the same noise. So a failed measurement still blocks, and provenance's uses are to report and to decide the pre-walk check. Both RFCs are marked Implemented, with 0008's four open questions resolved — one of them, gating the write-back, by finding it was already true: routine_results holds only routines that succeeded, so writing provenance after a successful write-back is the per-parameter gate §7 asked for. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 17 ++- docs/rfcs/0008-parameter-provenance.md | 83 ++++++++--- docs/rfcs/README.md | 5 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/README.md | 11 ++ qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 59 +++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_dag.py | 143 +++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 290 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 98774eae..d0e256c8 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -25,6 +25,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: a calibration report names the inputs nothing has ever measured, per target and per routine.

Phase 3 raised the ceilings in single_qubit.py and ef.py only; spectroscopy.py was never touched, resonator_punchout still sweeps linear_setpoints(0.01, 0.5, 11), and full_scale does not appear in that file. Found while debugging why q5 on the B chip finds no qubit, having recommended re-enabling punchout on the strength of the claim. It matters more than a stale note because that chip now carries output_att 20 on its readout ports, so a grid stopping at half scale is around 26 dB short of what the module can put out — punch-through is not reachable at all, and the node would either fail or pick an operating point from the dressed regime it was supposed to escape.

A constant is unfalsifiable low and simulator-tuning-dependent high. Two claims replace it: `rb` recovers the injected error, and a worse chip benchmarks worse. Both hold at any injected level. The expected number is derived, not written down: the simulator depolarises per primitive rotation, so a Clifford of n of them costs `0.5*(1-(1-p)**n)` with n read from `clifford_to_gates` — which also caught that the naive `p/2` was 3x low, since a Clifford averages 3.08 primitives. | | Escalation in the DAG or in `measure`? | **In `measure`**, with the attempt count reported so the DAG and the report still see it. | -| Does `resonator_punchout` come back? | **Yes.** Its amplitude grid stopping at 0.5 is a §5 hardware-bounded bug, so phase 3 fixes the reason it was switched off.

So the §5 hardware bound that got it switched off is still there, and re-enabling it needs an explicit `amplitudes` grid reaching 1.0 — the more so on a chip carrying `output_att: 20` on its readout, where stopping at 0.5 is some 26 dB short of the module's output.

The ledger could not stop them because none of the seven declares clock_freqs.f01 or rxy.amp180. They get the drive frequency and the pi pulse from the compiled gate, which resolves them off the device element directly, so they never pass through read_path — and test_a_routine_declares_every_parameter_it_reads derives the truth by instrumenting read_path, so it structurally cannot see the dependency.

The audit found the gap wider than the seven nodes recorded: 22 qubit-targeted routines were short, not seven. Every one that plays a gate now declares clock_freqs.f01, and every one that plays a gate without supplying its own amplitude also declares rxy.amp180. rabi is the exception that proves the rule — it produces rxy.amp180, so declaring that it reads it would make it block itself on a first bring-up. Deriving the true set is not possible, so the rule is asserted instead. Instrumenting read_path is the wrong probe for a dependency that never passes through it, and the obvious alternative fails too: quantify compiles by way of generate_device_config, which serialises every parameter, so an instrumented element reports all of them and distinguishes nothing. test_a_routine_playing_a_gate_declares_the_gate_parameters asserts the structural fact instead — play a gate, declare the two paths — which is coarse and is exactly the class that bit us. Verified non-vacuous: removing t1's declaration fails it and the graph test both. test_a_failed_qubit_spectroscopy_blocks_everything_that_needs_a_gate pins the consequence by walking the real routine set with qubit_spectroscopy failing, and asserts the propagation reaches the nodes that reported noise on the B chip while leaving resonator_spectroscopy and time_of_flight alone. test_a_dummy_acquisition_fails_the_routine_rather_than_fitting_zeros went from two errors to one error and one skip, which is the point of the change rather than a regression: t1 now declares the rxy.amp180 its gate needs, so a failed rabi skips it instead of letting it fail separately. Updated to assert the stronger property. Edges are left out and RFC 0007 §11.1 records why: a gate on an edge is played on its endpoint qubits, and the ledger keys on (target, path), so ("q5_q10", "rxy.amp180") matches nothing.

Punch-through is by definition the high-power end of the sweep, so a grid stopping at 0.5 finds it only on a line lossless enough to punch through at half drive. On the B chip, which carries output_att 20 on its readout ports, half scale is around 26 dB short of what the module can emit — punch-through was unreachable rather than merely hard to reach, which is why the node was switched off on both August 2026 chips. full_scale had never been imported into spectroscopy.py at all; phase 3 raised the ceilings in single_qubit.py and ef.py only. Unlike rabi there is no accuracy bound pulling the other way, so this goes to the top rather than to half and needs no escalation: a resonator driven hard does not stop being a resonator, and a readout pulse past full scale simply clips. The grid still starts at 0.01, so there is a dressed regime to compare the walk against. 715 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental), 162 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 ++ docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 2 +- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 14 +++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 31 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 0b089b06..f7b170f2 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -31,6 +31,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: 22 routines now declare the qubit frequency and pi-pulse amplitude their gates need, so a failed `qubit_spectroscopy` skips everything behind it.

Declaring clock_freqs.f01 and rxy.amp180 on the five edge routines that play gates would have been true and inert: a gate on an edge is played on its endpoint qubits, and the ledger keyed on (target, path), so ("q5_q10", "rxy.amp180") is a key nothing writes and no element has. blockers() now asks about an edge's endpoints as well as the edge itself, splitting the name the way CalibrationConfig.validate_targets already does. That convention was load-bearing before it got here, and validate_targets' own docstring states the dependency the ledger could not express — "a two-qubit gate is measured through its qubits: cz_chevron prepares |11> with a pi pulse on each". It refuses the configuration for this and the walk allowed it anyway. Both spellings are tried per path rather than classifying paths by where they live, so an irrelevant spelling — ("q5", "cz.square_amp") — is silently absent rather than wrong. The structural invariant test now covers edges too, since the declaration finally means something. Added the real-walk test the RFC's shape argument rests on: a simulated chip whose qubit is 900 MHz from its configured f01, through _execute_calibration with every guard live, asserting one error naming qubit_spectroscopy and five skips that all name it too. Its first version reported success instead, which was worth keeping in a comment: a 5-point search window judges its tallest bin against a median absolute deviation computed over five bins, and pure noise cleared the 6x floor.

It was the only node in §5's escalation-bounded class with no escalation. The existing machinery could not simply be pointed at it. _widened anchors a widened axis at low and extends upward, which is backwards for a resonator below its window; it holds the point count, so a wider span steps over the line and require_resolved_line then refuses it for being thinner than the grid; and it writes explicit setpoints, which _frequency_sweep passes through unclamped, so the next attempt asks the NCO for a frequency outside its +/-500 MHz reach. So escalation widens `span` — a scalar — and leaves centring, resolution and the band clamp where they already live. `points` moves with it to hold the step size, bounded by MAX_SWEEP_POINTS since the sequencer's ~950 acquisitions is a real ceiling. Both of the fit's refusals now escalate, in opposite directions. require_in_range asks for a wider span by a factor derived from the excursion and doubled, because an extrapolated centre says which side the line is on and not how far — the B chip's own numbers give 2.56x, turning 20 MHz into 51.2 MHz and reaching the 12.8 MHz that actually defeated it. require_resolved_line splits: a flat window wants more spectrum, a line thinner than the grid wants more grid over the same span. Getting the second backwards would make the failure worse, so the direction travels with the refusal instead of being inferred from the axis. Testing found why escalating only require_in_range would have been nearly useless: for a line far outside a narrow window there is no signal at all, so the flat-window guard fires first and the range guard never sees the fit. The integration test is the B chip's own geometry — a 330 kHz resonator 12.8 MHz outside a 20 MHz window — and it now succeeds on the second attempt. Both guards keep raising their plain RoutineError/FitError when no axis is named, so every other caller is untouched. An operator who names `span` is still left alone per §7. Also corrects the `reads` docstring, which still claimed seven nodes were short after they had been fixed. 720 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental: 28 Assembly failed, 7 QuantumDevice attribute), 164 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 40 ++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 118 +++++++++++- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 48 ++++- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/lorentzian.py | 23 ++- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 37 +++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 182 ++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 436 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 9ac3c4d9..fa5d5b6d 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -36,6 +36,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. with 20 dB of output attenuation the old ceiling was ~26 dB short of finding it. - `qpi-driver/py`: a two-qubit routine is skipped when either of its qubits failed to calibrate, rather than measuring a gate through an endpoint that was never brought up. +- `qpi-driver/py`: `resonator_spectroscopy` widens and re-runs its own sweep when the + resonator is outside the window, or samples it harder when the line is thinner than the + grid.

The guard it already had is a significance test carrying a 1/sqrt(n), so averaging more shots *lowers* the bar: the same chance-level readout was refused by readout_discrimination at 2000 shots and accepted by readout_operating_point at 300. Whether the means differ is not the question a readout has to answer, and it does not improve with averaging. fit_readout_discrimination now floors assignment fidelity at 0.6, which both nodes inherit since the operating point ranks settings through it. allxy and allxy_check both normalise against the contrast between their own |0> and |1> reference plateaus, and neither checked that the contrast was a contrast. Dividing by noise does not fail quietly, it manufactures a full-scale response: allxy reported an rms deviation of 9.65 from a response ranging -22 to +12.5, and allxy_check turned the same data into a fidelity of 0.533 and offered it to the drift check, where a threshold at 0.5 would have called the chip healthy. Both now require the plateaus to stand three pooled standard deviations apart — enough to separate noise from a real contrast without demanding a good gate, since a badly calibrated one still has full readout contrast. allxy_check also normalised by min and max, which allxy's own comments already record as a correctness bug: it assumes the smallest reading is |0>, and which way the response runs depends on which side of the resonator the readout sits. Both now share normalised_allxy. Checked against synthetic data: noise refused, an ideal staircase at rms 0.009, a badly calibrated gate still measured at 0.085, and an inverted readout handled by the sign-carrying normalisation. 726 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental: 28 Assembly failed, 7 QuantumDevice attribute), 164 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 7 ++ .../tuners/fitting/discrimination.py | 33 +++++- .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/benchmarks.py | 19 ++-- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 102 ++++++++++++------ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 35 ++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 63 +++++++++++ 6 files changed, 220 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index fa5d5b6d..55642123 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -39,6 +39,13 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: `resonator_spectroscopy` widens and re-runs its own sweep when the resonator is outside the window, or samples it harder when the line is thinner than the grid.

The line was real and 0.8 MHz wide; the step was 1.2 MHz. The confirming span is sized from the width the search measured, and the search runs at a single drive power chosen to make a line easy to see. At that power a 0.8 MHz line was 32 MHz across, so the span came out at 1.5 x 32 = 48 MHz — and with CONFIRM_POINTS fixed at 41, a 48 MHz span *is* a 1.2 MHz step. The routine found the line and then swept too coarsely to see it. The span still follows the measured width, which is right — it has to bracket whatever the search saw. What was wrong is deriving the step from it. The operator's own span/points is their statement about the resolution their chip needs, so that is the step the confirming sweep now holds: 133 kHz here rather than 1200, which is 207 kHz after the bound below and about four points across the line. Bounded two ways. Below by CONFIRM_POINTS, so a chip whose narrow pass is coarser than the confirm span never sweeps fewer points than before. Above by each drive power's share of MAX_SWEEP_POINTS, because the confirming sweep is one schedule across all of them — 233 points x 3 powers is 699 acquisitions, 85% of the QRM's instruction ceiling. Same class of bug as _widened holding the point count while stretching the axis, fixed earlier today for escalation and missed here. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 46 +++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 75 ++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 439c58b7..a0903706 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -42,6 +42,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. - `qpi-driver/py`: an escalating sweep is capped at 700 points rather than 900.

So `4.0e-9` is a number while `4e-9`, `20e6`, `20.0e6` and `5.318e9` are strings, and the forms are indistinguishable in a hand-written file. Nothing objected loudly, which is why this survived. setpoints_of returned the strings untouched, so `delays: [4e-9, 1e-6]` put strings where the schedule wanted seconds; a qcodes frequency parameter accepts a string and stores it, so a device config written `f01: 5.318e9` leaves a string on the element, and _current_clock calls float on the way into a sweep so the centre still comes out right. The fault only surfaces where a schedule is compiled and the string reaches something that wanted Hz. setpoints_of now converts numeric strings and refuses non-numeric ones, leaving integers alone — depths and repetitions are counts, and floats would push them into APIs wanting int. apply_device_config converts the same way, and leaves a genuine string for its own validator rather than guessing. calibration.example.yml is what operators copy, and it was teaching three wrong things. Its resonator_punchout grid stopped at 0.5, which is the ceiling that cannot reach punch-through on an attenuated line. Its DRAG sweep was dimensionless +/-1.0 where the parameter is in seconds and a 56 ns gate wants 1e-11 — ten orders of magnitude out, and already recorded as such in the routine's own tests. And every time axis used the string spelling above. It now also documents the two-pass qubit_spectroscopy search, and says outright that naming a sweep switches off the escalation that would otherwise widen it.

An operator raising drive_amps to 0.3 left the widening pass at 0.08, probing 3.75x weaker than the pass it exists to feed. That is backwards: the search is the one that has to see a line at all, and the confirm pass is where a gentle power belongs. It now reads max(drive_amps), so the claim holds by construction, and `search_amp` still overrides it. Raising DEFAULT_AMPLITUDES was also tried, and reverted. Two chips disagree and both are evidence: a B-chip transition reached only 3.33x over its own scatter at 0.08 against the 5x require_resolved_line clears, so this ladder cannot see every real line — but a ladder reaching 0.3 put the simulated chip's calibrated f01 1.76 MHz out against a 1 MHz tolerance. Isolated deliberately: the same rung *count* at the old powers passes, so it is the power and not the changed noise draw. The right ceiling is a property of the chip and its drive chain, which is what drive_amps is for, and a chip needing more says so by refusing with the axis named. The example config now shows a geometric ladder and says outright why search_amp is absent from it. A test asserts the ladder is geometric and spans a decade, and deliberately does not assert a ceiling, so the reverted decision cannot be quietly undone. Also corrects a bound I got wrong writing that test: MAX_SWEEP_POINTS caps the points an escalating sweep may reach, while the drive ladder multiplies on top of it, so the real limit is the sequencer's ~818 acquisitions at the measured 15.0 instructions each. Five rungs at 151 points is 755, which fits at 92% — close enough that a sixth power would trip the warning quantify only logs. 738 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental), 164 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ qpi-driver/py/calibration.example.yml | 18 +++--- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 37 ++++++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 60 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index e274186a..ee403777 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -31,6 +31,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: `qubit_spectroscopy`'s widening pass drives at the strongest power the + run would try anyway, derived from `drive_amps`, rather than a constant that fell out of + step with it.

The rabi that read it could not find a pi pulse. The resonator in the same report is the contrast at 8% and Q 22001. Neither existing guard is wrong to pass it. reach and snr measure height against scatter and a saturated line is tall; require_resolved_line bounds the linewidth from below, against the sweep step, and nothing bounds it from above. A MAX_LINE_TO_SPAN of one third refuses the B-chip fit and accepts the resonator. It also refuses the simulated chip at 99%, whose confirming window is 1.5x a width the search measured at its own saturating power — so the span wants capping by the search *step*, since the search establishes position to half a bin rather than width. Capped at eight steps that splits the cases correctly: 16 MHz for the simulator's 1.2 MHz line, 16 MHz for a B-chip line that cannot fit in it. But the cap breaks §8's acceptance test: with the narrower window no drive power clears the reach floor, the strongest reaching 3.07 against 5 — and that does not reproduce outside the walk. The same search and confirm run directly against the same simulator give reach 156.6 and f01 within 2 kHz. So the walk leaves the chip in a state the isolated path does not, and I could not find what. Reverted rather than merged with that test failing: a chip known only from its design document calibrating is a verified capability, and the guard is not worth trading it for while the interaction is unexplained.

A single routine_timeout_s has to be set for the slowest node, which makes it no ceiling at all for the fast ones. On the B chip qubit_spectroscopy legitimately ran 299 s of a 300 s budget — it pays for a search across everything the drive port reaches, then a confirming sweep at each drive power — while a rabi taking more than a few seconds is hung. Raising the global number to let spectroscopy average more shots also lets every other node sit for five minutes. RoutineConfig gains timeout_s and CalibrationConfig.timeout_for resolves it against the walk's. A field rather than one of the sweep parameters, so a typo is a startup error instead of a silently ignored key, and so nothing that widens an axis can mistake it for one. Non-numeric or non-positive values are refused at load. Read through timeout_for at every point that enforces a ceiling — the acquisition, the check schedules, and the over-budget refusal — so all three agree on which number applied. The refusal now names the routine and which setting to raise, since an operator raising the global one would otherwise see no effect on a routine carrying its own. A resource budget, which §5 already distinguishes from the ranges this RFC removes: it needs no knowledge of the chip, only of how long the operator will wait. Also corrects §11.3, whose first attempt at a guard for saturated spectroscopy fits I recorded as nearly ready. It was not. Measuring per drive power in the acceptance test's own configuration shows the simulated chip's line really is 100-160 MHz wide there, reaching 124 with a centre 1.35 MHz from truth in a 153 MHz window — so a line filling its own window can still give a usable centre, CONFIRM_SPAN_IN_WIDTHS is right, and width-over-span does not separate a saturated fit from a broad one. What separates the two chips is whether the linewidth is physically possible, and neither of the two available chips can set that bound without the other failing it. The section now records that, and names the SimulatedTuner / QuantifyTuner(is_simulated=True) disagreement — 1.24 MHz against 99 MHz at the same drive — as the thing to resolve first. 748 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental), 164 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 100 +++++++++++------- qpi-driver/py/calibration.example.yml | 10 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/config.py | 52 ++++++++- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 25 +++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_dag.py | 64 +++++++++++ 6 files changed, 205 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index cc4cd3ab..61373d93 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Added +- `qpi-driver/py`: a routine may set its own `timeout_s` in `calibration.yml`, overriding the + global `routine_timeout_s`.

The observation looked damning: qubit_spectroscopy reported success on a 48.0 MHz line filling 89% of its window at Q = 111, and the rabi that read the frequency could not find a pi pulse. Bounding linewidth against span refuses that fit and also refuses the simulated chip at 99% — and capping the confirming span to make room broke §8's acceptance test, because that chip's line reaches 124 with a centre 1.35 MHz from truth while filling a 153 MHz window. Testing for power *dependence* instead is portable and needs no threshold in Hz, and it refuses the physics simulator's textbook behaviour: 1.51, 3.06, 6.12 and 12.37 MHz at 0.005, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.04, proportional to amplitude, with test_qubit_spectroscopy_finds_the_transmons_real_f01 passing throughout. Which is the physics both attempts had wrong. Power broadening is symmetric — it widens a line without moving its centre. What pulls a centre is the AC Stark shift, a different mechanism that does not follow from width. So a broad line is a less precise measurement of f01, not a wrong one, and there is nothing for a guard to refuse: the existing floors already reject a line that is not there, which is the failure that matters. So the B chip's 48 MHz line was power broadening at a drive of 0.3 and its centre was not thereby wrong. rabi failed for an unrelated reason found separately and since fixed — escalation widened its amplitude sweep past full scale and the compiler refused a gain of 1.05. Reading the wide line as the cause was a wrong inference from a coincidence of timing. No guard added, no gap left.

The August 2026 B chip fitted ef_amp180 of 0.0677 against an amp180 of 0.5757, which the ladder puts at 0.4071 — six times out — and wrote it.

It reported a gate fidelity of 0.9879 from randomised benchmarking and showed 0.9232. fidelities() took the minimum across all benchmarks, on the reasoning that a drift check should fire on the worst evidence it has. Sound, except allxy_check reports one minus the rms deviation of a normalised population response, which is not a gate infidelity — so the minimum was across different units and the incommensurable one won by construction. Worse, it could not work at all: the default fidelity_threshold is 0.999, which demands an AllXY rms of 0.001 where a well-calibrated one is 0.01 to 0.02, so with allxy_as_smoke_test on the check fired on every run of every chip. That is a permanently tripped alarm, not a conservative one. The worst still wins between protocols that measure the same quantity, and a diagnostic score is still the evidence when it is the only evidence. three_state_operating_point ranked settings by cloud separation with no floor, and wrote a point at 0.913 scatters that three_state_discrimination then refused at 0.86 — the consumer's own bound, applied one node too late. It now needs 1.5, leaving half a scatter of headroom so a run whose noise differs slightly does not write a point its consumer rejects. drag_12 could not widen a beta sweep whose optimum the fit put at 0.298 against a range of +/-0.2, so it refused a fit that had found its answer. And _widened would have widened it wrongly: for a symmetric axis it anchored at the centre and grew upward only, turning [-0.2, 0.2] into [0, 1.6] and putting the negative half out of reach — which is where `drag` measured its own optimum, -0.1437. RFC 0007 §11.5 records what is left, and it is left deliberately. The AllXY error is entirely in the equator block and antisymmetric, with both plateaus at 0.009 rms: that reads as a residual detuning or a pi/2 amplitude error, and one rms cannot separate them. Nothing calibrates the pi/2 amplitude — fine_amplitude refines amp180 only — so the graph can detect that error and not correct it. A second ramsey is the cheap discriminator. Changing rxy.duration is explicitly not recommended: 56 ns is already 14x the 4 ns the measured 250.6 MHz anharmonicity sets as a leakage floor, and doubling it would double the decoherence-limited error per gate from 0.088% to 0.176% to chase an unverified mechanism. 760 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental), 164 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 10 +++ docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 45 +++++++++- docs/rfcs/README.md | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/report.py | 45 ++++++++-- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 18 +++- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 11 ++- .../tuners/fitting/discrimination.py | 20 +++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 23 ++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibrate_driver.py | 41 ++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 85 +++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 286 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index fc7229e6..c1671a7c 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -34,6 +34,16 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: a reported fidelity is the worst of the protocols that measure a gate + fidelity, and `allxy_check`'s diagnostic score no longer outvotes it.

One ramsey pass could never land on the answer, and the reason is in its own analyse: the correction is current_f01 - detuning, and the detuning was measured with the *old* f01 in the drive. A megahertz of error means the fringe was fitted a megahertz off resonance. The B chip moved f01 by 1.032 MHz in a single pass and had no way to ask what remained — then AllXY showed its entire error in the equator block, antisymmetric with both plateaus at 0.009 rms, which reads as either a residual detuning or a pi/2 amplitude error. Each pass now starts from where the last left the device, so the residual falls geometrically, and the ambiguity is settled by the graph rather than by the operator. Bounded three ways. It stops when the detuning is under what the sweep could tell from zero — 1/(2*pi*window), derived from the operator's own delays rather than set as a constant, giving 6.6 kHz for the 24 us default and 27 kHz for a 6 us one. It stops if the residual stops falling, keeping the better of the two passes, since another would measure noise. And it stops after MAX_REFINEMENTS regardless. Each pass is a full escalating call, so a window too short for the chip is still widened by the guard that already knows how. The simulated suite runs about 40 s longer, which is the extra passes being real. The other half is blocked upstream and §11.5 records why rather than working around it. fine_amplitude refines amp180 by repeating pi pulses; there is no equivalent for pi/2 and no field to write one to, because quantify's rxy_drag_pulse derives every angle from amp180 by linear interpolation — its own docstring says so. A separately calibrated pi/2 amplitude has nowhere to live and nothing that would honour it, so correcting that error needs a custom pulse factory and a new element field, changing how every gate on every chip compiles. Not worth building until the refinement above rules the detuning out, which it now does by itself. 765 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental), 164 simulated pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + docs/rfcs/0007-calibration-without-priors.md | 80 +++++++++-------- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 76 ++++++++++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 89 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 208 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index c1671a7c..3ac543c3 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -34,6 +34,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: `ramsey` re-measures after correcting the qubit frequency, until the residual + detuning is below what its own sweep can resolve.

Less was missing than expected: levels was already 3 and the ladder already came from diagonalising a Cooper-pair box. Two things were absent. A frame in which 1-2 is resonant. _anharmonic_hamiltonian puts level n at n*delta + alpha*n(n-1)/2, which is a drive near 0-1; a drive at f12 wants E_n - n*omega_12, or alpha*(n(n-1)/2 - n) — zero, -alpha, -alpha. So 1-2 is degenerate and 0-1 is detuned by the anharmonicity, which is what lets the 0-1 pulses either side leave |2> alone. And a readout that can tell |2> from |0>. Every other experiment measures |1><1|, which cannot see this one at all: after a map-back, a state that stayed in |1> and one that reached |2> both give zero. A dispersive readout is linear in the shift and a transmon's go as chi(1-2n), so on a scale where |0> reads 0 and |1> reads 1, |2> reads 2 — the observable is the number operator, and it agrees with the old one wherever |2> is unpopulated. The sqrt(2) then emerges rather than being asserted: the drive is (a + a-dagger), whose 1-2 matrix element is sqrt(2) times its 0-1 one, and the fitted pi amplitude lands within 5% of amp180/sqrt(2). That turns _require_ef_ladder from a comment about transmons into a bound the physics backs. It also corrects what I claimed for 7ed29dd. The map-back does *not* fix the fit: clean traces give 1.005x and 1.006x of the ladder with and without it. What it buys is contrast — 0.989 against 1.930, a factor of 1.95, exactly the two dispersive steps rather than one — and therefore noise tolerance. At a shot noise of 0.3 the plain sequence is refused and the mapped-back one fits to within 10%; both fail at 0.6. So it is a robustness fix and the B chip's ef_amp180 of 0.0677 is not explained by its absence alone, which the routine's comment now says instead of overstating it. _maps_back reads the schedule for the extra pulse rather than assuming it, so the simulator measures what the routine actually built — which is how the comparison above is possible at all. That also caught my own error: X and Rxy are distinct operation kinds here. 765 fast pass (35 unchanged macOS-environmental), 168 simulated pass, up from 164. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + .../py/qpi_driver/simulation/transmon.py | 72 +++++++++++ .../py/tests/test_physics_simulation.py | 113 ++++++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/utils/simulation.py | 62 ++++++++++ 4 files changed, 250 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index fc922650..92aca421 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Added +- `qpi-driver/py`: the simulator has three-level physics for the 1-2 transition, so `rabi_12` + can be tested without a chip.

Subject: [PATCH 070/130] refactor(qpi-driver): let the fine-amplitude fit amplify any nominal angle It was a pi-pulse fit with the pi written into it three times: the (-1)^n demodulation, the out-of-range bound at pi/2, and the correction pi/(pi+d). All three become `turn`, defaulting to what every current caller passes, so the identical arithmetic serves the pi/2 refinement the next commit needs. The demodulation generalises rather than being special-cased. The signal is -cos(pre + n*turn + n*d), whose error-carrying term is sin(pre + n*turn)*sin(n*d), so demodulating by sin(pre + n*turn) is what (-1)^n always was: at pre = pi/2, turn = pi it is cos(n*pi) exactly. That exposes a precondition nothing had to state before, and it now raises. The demodulation only recovers the error where cos(pre + n*turn) vanishes; a pi pulse behind a pi/2 satisfies that at every integer n, but a pi/2 pulse satisfies it only at n = 1, 5, 9. Swept 1..25 it would fit a straight line through three quarters noise and write it to the amplitude every gate afterwards plays at. The returned key is `amplitude`, not `amp180`, since it is now whichever angle `turn` names. Each routine maps it to its own field, which is what `fine_amplitude_12` already did. --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 78 ++++++++++++++++--- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 2 +- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 3 +- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 39 +++++++++- 4 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py index bd00cd87..3bf13459 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py @@ -247,13 +247,22 @@ def fit_drag( #: 8.9 and 144.3.

Nothing else in the graph can see it. RB averages a coherent over-rotation into its depolarising rate, and Rabi and `fine_amplitude` both measure the pi. AllXY sees it and writes nothing. This measures it directly and writes `fine.amp90`. No pre-rotation, unlike `fine_amplitude`. There the pulse under test is the pi and a pi/2 in front of it turns an even response into a signed one; here the pulse under test *is* the pi/2, so a pre-rotation would be played by the very pulse being calibrated and its error would enter twice. Starting at |0> with 4k+1 of them puts the state on the equator by itself. Counts 1, 5, 9, 13 rather than 1..n, which the fit now enforces rather than trusts, and short because the slope fit linearises sin(n*d): the B chip's equator block implies d near 0.2, which 13 pulses already stretch to 2.6. Refinement is what makes that converge, the same shape and the same three bounds as `ramsey`'s. Declines an element with no `fine` submodule, as every opt-in field here does. The simulated drive is exactly linear, so the full DAG asserts amp90 lands within 5% of half of amp180 on both qubits under both schedulers. That is the no-op case, and it is the one worth asserting: a sign error, a wrong demodulation or the wrong counts would all still fit, and would write a confidently wrong amplitude to every gate. --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/__init__.py | 3 + .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 187 ++++++++++++++++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_loop.py | 26 +++ 3 files changed, 216 insertions(+) diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/__init__.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/__init__.py index 13b19a32..5df94180 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/__init__.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/__init__.py @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ AllXY, Drag, FineAmplitude, + FineAmplitude90, Rabi, Ramsey, T2Echo, @@ -82,6 +83,7 @@ Drag, AllXY, FineAmplitude, + FineAmplitude90, RandomizedBenchmarking, FluxSpectroscopy, CouplerAnticrossing, @@ -126,6 +128,7 @@ def routine_names() -> set[str]: "F12Spectroscopy", "FineAmplitude", "FineAmplitude12", + "FineAmplitude90", "FluxSpectroscopy", "InterleavedRB", "QubitSpectroscopy", diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/single_qubit.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/single_qubit.py index a79c3f89..30f069c4 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/single_qubit.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/single_qubit.py @@ -14,6 +14,10 @@ from qpi_driver.tuners.base.backend import SchedulerBackend from qpi_driver.tuners.base.config import RoutineConfig +from qpi_driver.executors.base.rotations import ( + QUARTER_TURN_DEGREES, + amplitude_for_angle, +) from qpi_driver.tuners.base.device import drag_parameter_name, read_path, write_path from qpi_driver.tuners.base.limits import full_scale from qpi_driver.tuners.base.routines import ( @@ -207,6 +211,8 @@ def analyse( def apply(self, device: Any, target: str, params: dict[str, Any]) -> None: write_path(device.get_element(target), "rxy.amp180", params["amp180"]) + #: Where a `CalibratedTransmon` keeps its separately measured pi/2 amplitude. + #: Repetitions of the pi pulse the check amplifies the error over, and the #: rotation error it tolerates, in radians.

The ef pulse defaulted to a 20 ns constant while rxy.duration is configuration and moves with the chip — 56 ns on this one. Rotation follows area, so a pulse 2.8x shorter needs 2.8x the amplitude, putting the 1-2 pi at 0.71 against a sweep that stops at 0.5. No sweep of that range could ever have found it. The default now derives from rxy.duration, and the ladder guard carries both durations rather than assuming they match — a factor of 2.8 was sitting inside a window of 2, so the guard could have refused a chip whose ef pulse was exactly right and blamed the drive for it. Its message now names both lengths and the amplitude a matched pulse would need. The fidelity card took the minimum across every benchmark. That is the bug fixed in the driver's fidelities() in report.py, which the UI has its own copy of and never got: readout_fidelity reports an assignment fidelity, a property of the readout chain and not of a gate, so on this run the card showed 92.5% and called it below the 99.9% one-qubit gate threshold while rb sat in the same payload unread.

A drive too weak to turn a pi is what it assumes; the other is that the sweep is driving something other than the 1-2 transition, and the amplitude alone cannot tell them apart. The contrast can. `rabi_12` maps |2> back through a 0-1 pi before reading, so an oscillation genuinely on the 1-2 transition swings the full readout contrast — the same one `rabi` measured. Much smaller and it really is a weak drive. As large, while the amplitude is far off the ladder, and the population is moving as far as `rabi` moves it, which a drive too weak to turn a pi cannot do. Reported rather than compared: `rabi`'s contrast is a fit output, not a device parameter, so the guard cannot reach it.

The fit was pinned through the origin on the grounds that the model has no offset there and fitting one would let a baseline shift masquerade as a rotation error. The opposite is what happened. That chip's demodulated response carries a real, n-independent offset of -0.175, and with the intercept forbidden the slope absorbed it: two consecutive runs of a pi/2 pulse that had not changed reported 0.0014 and 0.0157 rad per pulse, twelve times apart. Fitting the intercept, the same two runs agree to 0.4% — 0.01911 and 0.01904 — and the amplitudes they imply to 0.8%. A baseline cannot masquerade as a rotation error once both are free, because the two are orthogonal in n; pinning the intercept was the wrong way to protect against it. The offset is now reported, since a response that is not zero at zero pulses means the two reference points are not describing the sequence they normalise. And the fit linearises sin(n*d) as n*d without ever checking that it may. The same chip's pi sweep ran 25 repetitions against 0.09 rad per pulse, so its last point had turned 2.3 radians — a full swing of the sine, fitted as a straight line, and written to amp180, the amplitude every X pulse afterwards plays at. Past one radian the linearisation is already 16% out and it now refuses, naming the shorter sweep that would work. The simulated chip stays well inside both bounds, so the whole DAG is unaffected. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 63 +++++++++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 77 +++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 137 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index d7ea0d4f..3bb1bbdc 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: the fine-amplitude fit takes an intercept instead of being pinned through + the origin, and refuses a sweep whose rotation accumulates past a radian.

Three consecutive runs of the B chip refused rabi_12 on the sqrt(2) ladder, and none of them could say whether the sweep behind the refusal was a real oscillation or a harmonic of a non-sinusoidal readout, which one look at the trace settles. `CarriesFit` is mixed into both RoutineError and FitError, which are unrelated hierarchies; the DAG recovers the fit duck-typed off the exception, which is what lets a mixin serve instead of a common base. Opt-in per guard, because a refusal that fires before anything was fitted has nothing to give and fit=None is then the honest answer. Wired up for the ef ladder and for the new linear-regime bound. The result is marked `failed` and carries no parameters: nothing was applied and nothing was written, and an empty mapping says that where a populated one would read as a measurement. The failure is still counted once, through report.errors. That moves the provenance gate RFC 0008 §7 asks for. It used to be positional — the DAG appended a result on the success path alone, so iterating them was the check — and is now the flag, with a test either side of it: attributing a refused routine would assert a measurement that was rejected and never persisted. `failed` stays out of to_dict, as `priors` does, since that payload is one contract written twice.

The B chip's rabi_12 sweep runs 0 to 0.5 and holds three and a half full periods: five maxima and five minima evenly spaced, a flat envelope, a fit residual of 7.8% of contrast, and a peak-to-peak 1.5x rabi's own — which is what |0>-|2> should give against |0>-|1>. That is a measurement, and the ladder refused it three runs running. The guard exists for one failure: fit_rabi fitting a *partial* rotation, where a drive too weak to turn a pi leaves the cosine's half period longer than the sweep and the fit extrapolates an arc into a smaller amplitude. That failure has a signature, and it is the opposite of this one — a partial rotation shows less than one oscillation, never more. So the ladder is now checked only where the sweep cannot resolve the period, and a resolved oscillation is accepted whatever the ladder says, with the discrepancy logged rather than raised. It leaves 3.7x unexplained, and that is the honest state of it: both drives share an LO, mixer corrections and attenuation in that chip's hardware config, so it is not a configured gain.

The fidelity then comes off the boundary rather than off the chip. The B chip hit it twice, reporting 0.9999887 and 0.9999978 — an error per gate of 1.1e-05 and 2.2e-06, thirty to three hundred times below what its 56 us T1 allows a 56 ns gate — with A at -807 and -4109 on a survival normalised to [0, 1]. Its survival rose with depth, which is what a fitted line looks like when the data has no decay in it. And not only there: the simulated chip's own rb fitted A = 4180 against a configured 0.001 per gate, so every full-DAG run this repository had made carried an RB fidelity that meant nothing. Bounding A tightly is not the answer and the docstring already says why — it is met by pulling r down, pinning every good chip near 0.98. So the bound is a runaway stop at 200x the survival's own span, four hundred times the room a legitimate unreached asymptote needs, and what is refused is landing *on* it. A real decay fits A near 0.5 there; both of that chip's runs pin at exactly -200. Verified across 0.986, 0.999 and 0.9998, all recovered to 1e-4. rb's simulated depths go to 64, without which it fits its own straight line. interleaved_rb is held back behind QPI_SLOW_BENCHMARKS, and for a harder reason than cost: the simulator does not produce a two-qubit RB decay at all. Sampling does not move it — at 4 circuits per depth the scatter was 0.350 against a span of 0.410, and at 28 it was 0.363 against 0.177, so the scatter does not fall as 1/sqrt(N) and what is being refused is structural. Enabling the flag reproduces that rather than buying coverage, so CI does not set it yet; the fix belongs in simulation.coupled. The gate ships anyway because it is where that fix will be verified from. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 50 ++++++++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_loop.py | 50 +++++++++++++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 37 ++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 6be419d5..32f083d8 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: an RB fidelity fitted off a straight line is refused.

RFC 0007's subject. drag now widens its beta sweep, which drag_12 has done since it hit this on the 1-2 transition. The default is drag_span either side of zero, a statement about the schedulers' units rather than about a chip; that chip's optimum was -0.4803 against a swept +/-0.2, so the node refused and everything downstream of it — allxy, fine_amplitude, rb — ran on an uncorrected pulse. fit_drag already raised an escalatable OutOfRange when given an axis; drag was the caller not passing one. fine_amplitude and fine_amplitude_90 escalate the other way, which is new. The fit linearises sin(n*d) as n*d, so how many repetitions it can take depends on how big d turns out to be — the thing being measured. There is no default that is right in advance: that chip needed 25 for its pi and could not take 13 for its pi/2, on one run. The refusal now names the shortening it wants and the routine applies it. _widened declines the direction on purpose. Every sweep that asks to be shortened is a repetition ladder and interpolating one breaks it: halving [1, 5, 9, 13] gives [1, 3, 5, 7], whole numbers that are no longer 4k+1, so the error being amplified stops lying along the axis being measured. The ladder is the routine's, so the rebuild is too — step 1 for the pi, step 4 for the pi/2. --- CHANGELOG.md | 7 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 9 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 10 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 11 +- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 139 +++++++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 73 +++++++++ 6 files changed, 240 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 32f083d8..a93de78d 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,13 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: `drag` widens its beta sweep when the optimum lies outside it, as + `drag_12` already did.

It has called escalating since it was written; the guard it tripped named no axis, so the refusal arrived as prose and the widening never ran. One keyword. The guard below it has always been escalatable, but this one is reached first whenever the extrapolation lands on a number rather than on noise. t1 shares the body and gains it too. rb refused with a decay spanning 0.6214 against a residual scatter of 0.3231 and reported no fidelity at all, having advised 'average more circuits per depth' — advice nothing acted on. The axis is the circuit count rather than the depths, because what that guard compares is the decay's span against the scatter around it and scatter is what averaging buys down; the depths are the operator's statement about what they want benchmarked, and widening those would overrule it. Bounded at 50 per depth: RB is the most expensive node in the graph, the cost is linear here, and past that the honest answer is that the readout is too noisy to benchmark. AVERAGING_AXES is separate from SCALAR_AXES because that one moves points alongside span to hold the step size, and a repeat count has no step to hold.

A correction that cancels a phase is minus it, so writing plus doubled the error. At the calibrated operating point the CZ leaves 165.79 deg on the control and the edge was set to 345.90, for a residual of 151.69 deg on every CZ played; the child's was 177.19. The RB recovery gate knows nothing about a virtual Z, so each interleaved CZ added an unrecoverable rotation and the survival was noise. Corrected, both residuals are under a tenth of a degree and the same four circuits resolve the decay. There is a second convention in the same number and it is why a plain negation is not enough. _fringe_phase fits the excited-state population while the accumulated phase is defined on , so a swept-phase Ramsey gives P1 = (1 - cos(phi - phi_acc))/2 and the fitted angle is phi_acc + 180 by construction. Both conventions now live in _cancelling, next to the fit that sets them. Neither ever touched conditional_phase itself: that is a *difference* of two fringe phases, so both cancel — which is why the CZ has been correct as a gate all along and only the single-qubit correction was wrong. The 180 assumes the acquisition rises with excitation, which is documented rather than hidden: a chip that inverts it would want the other 180, and the two fringes cannot tell because a global flip cancels in their difference. Orienting it needs |0> and |1> reference points in the schedule. rb now escalates on depths when its amplitude runs to the stop, implementing the advice that refusal already gave. Its axis is reach where the scatter guard's is averaging, and the two are different failures. QPI_SLOW_BENCHMARKS keeps its purpose but changes its job: nothing is held back any more, and it raises interleaved_rb's circuits per depth so the fidelity is precise as well as resolved.

MAX_RB_CLIFFORDS caps the total across depths and circuits, and `_widened` inverts it to a bound on the deepest sequence. At the ceiling the config comes back unchanged, which is how `escalating` learns to re-raise instead of re-running an identical sweep for an identical refusal. The shipped example config now stops after one widening and the simulated one after three, both near 2500 Cliffords. The derivation is stated and so is its weakness: a Clifford averages about 1.875 pulses and a pulse a couple of instructions, so the bound lands near 2800 and this is 2500. Unlike MAX_SWEEP_POINTS it has not been measured against a real program. It is a stop that keeps escalation off a cliff, not a characterisation, and it says so.

The last resort is guarded in turn, since whatever broke the emit is liable to break that one too. **The fit cap was set above the limit it existed to respect.** MAX_FIT_PAYLOAD_BYTES was 2 MB, chosen as generous. QPI-UI stores routine_results in a PocketBase json field, and nothing declares a maxSize, so DefaultJSONFieldMaxSize applies: 1 MB. The one guard against an unsaveable report was set to almost exactly twice the point of refusal, so where it bit it guaranteed the failure — trim to 1.9 MB, emit, insert fails. 800 kB now, leaving the rest of the payload a fifth of the field. The pump had no test driving it with a real report; the one test on the error path asserted the shape the server rejects. Both are covered now, including that a calibration *after* a pump failure still reports, which is the property that matters. --- qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml | 2 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py | 144 +++++++++++++----- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/report.py | 20 ++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibrate_driver.py | 86 ++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/uv.lock | 2 +- 6 files changed, 210 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml b/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml index 2db1eef4..7430485f 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml +++ b/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "qpi-driver" -version = "0.4.1" +version = "0.4.2-rc.15" description = "Quantum Processing Interface (QPI) QPU Driver" readme = "README.md" requires-python = ">=3.12,<3.13" diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py index 4260d7c4..3632920e 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ try: __version__ = importlib.metadata.version("qpi-driver") except importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: - __version__ = "0.4.1" + __version__ = "0.4.2-rc.15" from qpi_driver.builtins import ( DeviceBuilder, diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py index 7f23ffc1..c202747a 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py @@ -172,48 +172,89 @@ def _on_start(self) -> None: self._result_pump.start() def _pump_results(self) -> None: - """Drain the worker's reports and emit each as a CalibrationResult.""" + """Drain the worker's reports and emit each as a CalibrationResult. + + Every item is handled inside a guard, because this is a daemon thread and the + failure it can have is the quiet one.

Eight commits are undone here rather than one, because I do not have a mechanism and guessing at it has already cost several 20-minute calibrations. The driver source is now byte-identical to 4686684. What I checked and can rule out, so a re-land does not re-tread it: the report is put on the queue and crosses a real spawn-process boundary intact (44 kB of JSON, 7 routines with fit summaries, 2 benchmarks, 3 errors, worker exit 0); it pickles; it JSON-encodes; the Go side takes map[string]any so the list-valued parameters are fine; mangos defaults its receive size to unlimited; status partial_failure is in the select values. The pump refactor in 13d7729 is structurally faithful — for a report item it does exactly what the old loop did, inside a guard. So the cause is still unknown, and none of what is reverted here is known to be wrong. Reverted for the operator's sake, not on the evidence. What goes with it, to be re-landed one at a time with a deploy between each: - 1061d64 the ef ladder accepting a resolved oscillation, so rabi_12 stops being refused on a measurement that holds three and a half periods - 45539b8 refusing an RB fidelity fitted off a straight line, which is what made 0.9999887 out of a chip whose T1 allows 0.99967 - ddaeaba, 2391ccf escalation for drag, t2_echo, fine_amplitude and fine_amplitude_90 instead of refusing a fit they had already found - 7ded3bb a benchmark with its own measurement loop reaching report.benchmarks - 0b3ca0b the CZ virtual-Z cancelling its phase rather than doubling it, which is the two-qubit RB decay - c35fb2a the instruction budget on the depths escalation - 13d7729 the errored path carrying mode and status, the guarded pump, and the fit cap under the 1 MB the server's json field takes The two most likely to be involved, and so the last to come back, are 13d7729 — the only one touching the send path — and the escalation pair, which multiply how many schedules a routine compiles and at DEBUG turned the log into Q1ASM. --- .github/workflows/ci.yml | 5 - CHANGELOG.md | 33 --- .../py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py | 144 +++------- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 7 - .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/report.py | 20 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 36 --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/chevron.py | 32 --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 15 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 11 +- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 86 +----- .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/benchmarks.py | 65 +---- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 49 +--- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 139 +--------- .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/two_qubit.py | 6 +- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibrate_driver.py | 86 +----- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_loop.py | 35 +-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 81 ------ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 245 +----------------- 18 files changed, 65 insertions(+), 1030 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yml b/.github/workflows/ci.yml index 48a7ede4..d1b4ea9f 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yml @@ -116,11 +116,6 @@ jobs: cache-dependency-glob: "qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml" - name: Run Tests for '${{ matrix.extra }}' - # Benchmarks thoroughly rather than just correctly: more circuits per depth, so the - # two RB fidelities are precise as well as resolved.

Sources are byte-identical; the fixture, CI and CHANGELOG parts of that commit are left out because they depend on the RB guard, which stays reverted for now. conditional_phase wrote the *measured fringe phase* to the edge's virtual-Z corrections. A correction that cancels a phase is minus it, so writing plus doubled the error. At the calibrated operating point the CZ leaves 165.79 deg on the control and the edge was set to 345.90, for a residual of 151.69 deg on every CZ played; the child's was 177.19. The RB recovery gate knows nothing about a virtual Z, so each interleaved CZ added an unrecoverable rotation and interleaved_rb's survival was scatter that averaging did not touch — 0.350 of residual against a 0.410 span at four circuits per depth, and 0.363 against 0.177 at twenty-eight. Corrected, both residuals are under a tenth of a degree. There is a second convention in the same number, which is why a plain negation is not enough: _fringe_phase fits the excited-state population while the accumulated phase is defined on , so a swept-phase Ramsey gives P1 = (1 - cos(phi - phi_acc))/2 and the fitted angle is phi_acc + 180 by construction. Both now live in _cancelling, beside the fit that sets them, and neither ever touched conditional_phase itself — that is a *difference* of two fringe phases, so both cancel, which is why the CZ has been right as a gate all along and only this absolute number was wrong. The 180 assumes the acquisition rises with excitation, which is documented rather than hidden: a chip that inverts it wants the other 180, and the two fringes cannot tell because a global flip cancels in their difference. --- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/chevron.py | 32 ++++++++++++++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/two_qubit.py | 6 ++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 44 +++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/chevron.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/chevron.py index e0e28f0b..2d2b3a1d 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/chevron.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/chevron.py @@ -284,9 +284,41 @@ def fit_conditional_phase( # exist to cancel, and a different quantity from the conditional phase. # Reported rather than discarded because nothing else measures it.

As |A| grows the exponential becomes its own linear limit and r pins at one, so the fidelity comes off the boundary: a chip reported 0.9999887 with A at -807 on a survival normalised to [0, 1], thirty to three hundred times better than its T1 allows. - ddaeaba drag widens its beta sweep as drag_12 already did, and the two fine-amplitude nodes shorten their repetition counts when the amplified rotation outruns the linearisation. Both were refusing fits that had found their answer. - c35fb2a the instruction budget on the depths escalation. Inert until 2391ccf lands, since without a `measure` override rb never escalates — kept so the pair stays coherent rather than landing a bound after the thing it bounds. Deliberately held, and why: - 2391ccf and 7ded3bb are a pair. 2391ccf gives rb a `measure` override so it can average harder; 7ded3bb is what makes add_benchmarks_from fire on that path. Landing the first alone would stop rb's fidelity reaching report.benchmarks, which is a change to what is sent. Both or neither. - 13d7729 is the pump, the emit and the fit cap — the communication machinery itself, and the most likely of the eight to be involved. The fixture and CI parts of 0b3ca0b come along because they are test-only: with the CZ phase corrected, interleaved_rb resolves its decay at four circuits per depth, so holding it back is no longer right. QPI_SLOW_BENCHMARKS now buys precision rather than rescue. Verified: 841 fast against the unchanged 35 environmental, and the full DAG walk under both schedulers — which this needed, because the CZ fix running without the RB guard is a combination neither had been tested in. --- .github/workflows/ci.yml | 5 + CHANGELOG.md | 19 ++ qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml | 2 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 9 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 10 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 11 +- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 50 +++++- .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/benchmarks.py | 33 ++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 49 ++++- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 139 ++++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_loop.py | 35 +++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 37 ++++ qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 168 +++++++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/uv.lock | 2 +- 15 files changed, 554 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/ci.yml b/.github/workflows/ci.yml index d1b4ea9f..48a7ede4 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/ci.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/ci.yml @@ -116,6 +116,11 @@ jobs: cache-dependency-glob: "qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml" - name: Run Tests for '${{ matrix.extra }}' + # Benchmarks thoroughly rather than just correctly: more circuits per depth, so the + # two RB fidelities are precise as well as resolved.

The rest of 2391ccf gives rb a `measure` override, which moves it off the path that records benchmarks — so it has to land with 7ded3bb or rb's fidelity silently stops reaching report.benchmarks. This does not. A coherence time fitted far outside the window it came from was already refused, and the refusal was a dead end: `require_in_range` names an axis when it has one, and this call did not pass one, so `T2Echo.measure` was stopped before it could widen. The guard below it — the flat-curve one — has always been escalatable, but this one is reached first whenever the extrapolation lands on a number rather than on noise. The August 2026 B chip fitted 2.12 ms of T2 over a 100 us sweep and failed there, on a chip whose T1 was 56 us. Both routines already override `measure` to call `escalating`, so naming the axis is the whole change: the refusal now carries direction and factor, the delays are widened, and the sweep is retried. Bounded as every escalation is, by MAX_ESCALATIONS and by re-raising the last refusal rather than inventing a range. It costs compiles: up to four sweeps where there was one, each longer than the last. At DEBUG that is four more Q1ASM dumps per sequencer per module, which is worth knowing on a rack where the log is already mostly Q1ASM. Verified: 841 fast against the unchanged 35 environmental, the full DAG walk under both schedulers, and the chip's own numbers — 2.12 ms over a 100 us window now raises OutOfRange(axis='delays', factor=6.48) where it used to be a plain FitError. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 +++ qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 10 ++++++++-- 2 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 4ed73dfe..507f675e 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -13,6 +13,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. of doubling it. `conditional_phase` wrote the measured fringe phase where it needed minus it, so every CZ left 151.7 degrees on the control and `interleaved_rb` came back as scatter.

Results stopped reaching QPI-UI and nothing I reasoned about the queue, the pump or the socket was it; the driver's own traceback had the answer. `_run_one` interpolates the exception into the error string, and a library may put anything in one. qcodes puts the *value being set* into a failed set's message, and what quantify sets on a sequencer is its Q1ASM program. So a program the sequencer would not assemble came back as a 2.4 MB error — the log showed the SCPI header, `PROGram #72398706`, a #7 block of 2,398,706 bytes. One such error makes a 1.37 MB payload against the 1 MB a PocketBase json field takes by default, so the record was refused on arrival. The calibration had run, written its device config and logged its report; its request stayed `running` for ever, and a restart changed nothing because nothing about it was transient. That last part is what made it look like a transport fault. `_within_fit_cap` could not catch it — it caps fits, and no fit was involved. Cut at the first newline, real or escaped. A character cap cannot do this job: the reason ends about 160 characters in and any cap past that still ships circuit — 236 characters of it even at 400. What separates them is structure. A reason is one line; a program is thousands, and inside a repr those arrive as the two characters \n rather than as newlines, which is why nothing splitting on str.splitlines saw them.

They are one change split in two and must stay together. 2391ccf gives rb a `measure` override so it can average harder; 7ded3bb is the seven lines in dag.py that make add_benchmarks_from fire on that path. Landing the first alone moves rb off the path that records benchmarks, and its fidelity silently stops reaching report.benchmarks — the drift check then compares against nothing and the dashboard card goes blank. What is new here is the ceiling. `MAX_CIRCUITS_PER_DEPTH` bounds how long rb may take — 50 against a shipped 10, five times the runtime of a node that already takes half a minute. Nothing bounded how large its *program* may get, and that is the bound that mattered: 50 circuits over the shipped depths is 6350 Cliffords, some 60000 Q1ASM instructions against the 12288 a sequencer accepts. It failed with `Syntax error (-285): Assembly failed`, qcodes handed back the whole 2.4 MB program in the exception message, and the report was then far past what the server would store — so a calibration that had run and written its device config was never reported at all. So `_widened` now consults `__ceiling` on an averaging axis as it already did on a reach, and rb derives one from the same MAX_RB_CLIFFORDS budget the depths axis uses, read the other way: how many circuits these depths afford. The shipped config escalates 10 -> 19 and stops, where it used to reach 50. The two ceilings are independent — one is about time and one is about the assembler — and an element with no Clifford ceiling keeps exactly the bound it had. 242c41a is what keeps the error itself out of the payload if this is ever hit again by some other route. This is what stops it being hit. Verified: 850 fast against the unchanged 35 environmental, and the full DAG walk under both schedulers — which this needed, since rb now escalates and records its benchmark through a path that had neither test. --- CHANGELOG.md | 9 ++ qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 7 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 39 ++++++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 5 +- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 15 +++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/benchmarks.py | 37 +++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 116 ++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 224 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 359060e0..1d7e52c6 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -19,8 +19,17 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. 2.4 MB error, a 1.37 MB payload, and a record the server refused for exceeding the 1 MB its JSON field takes.

QPI-UI validates `mode` and `status` against their select values and refuses a report carrying neither, so it was dropped on arrival for being blank — the driver logged the failure, emitted, and the operator saw a calibration that stopped and a UI that never mentioned it. It now emits a real report: status failed, the error under `errors`, and the mode the worker was running. **The pump could die and take every later result with it.** It is a daemon thread and had nothing to catch an exception, so one bad item killed it — and because `_busy` is cleared first, the driver went on accepting work and looked healthy while nothing reached the dashboard again. Every item is guarded now, a failure reports what it can, and the pump stays up; the last resort is guarded in turn. A dropped *progress* update is only dropped, never escalated into a failed report — the run is still going, and saying it ended badly would be worse than losing a frame of a progress bar. **The fit cap was above the limit it existed to respect** — 2 MB against the 1 MB a PocketBase json field takes, so where it bit it guaranteed the refusal it was meant to prevent. 800 kB now. Its docstring is corrected rather than left implying it was the fix: the report that actually got refused carried 44 kB of fits and a 2.4 MB *error*, and 242c41a is what closed that. This cap has still never fired in anger; it watches the same ceiling on the side that can grow without a library's help. None of it was the cause, and I said otherwise for most of a day. It is here because each part is a defect on its own evidence — the Go source refusing a mode-less report, a daemon thread with no guard, a cap above its own limit — not because it explains anything. Verified together: 1000 oversized fits *and* a 2.4 MB error give a 131 kB payload, both caps firing independently; an errored calibration carries mode and status; a broken item is reported and the next calibration still works. 854 fast against the unchanged 35 environmental, and 170 simulated — spent here because 86ea70f and 8371973 touched the calibration path and this is the end of the span. --- qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml | 2 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py | 144 +++++++++++++----- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/report.py | 26 +++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibrate_driver.py | 86 ++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/uv.lock | 2 +- 6 files changed, 216 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml b/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml index 2db1eef4..7430485f 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml +++ b/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "qpi-driver" -version = "0.4.1" +version = "0.4.2-rc.15" description = "Quantum Processing Interface (QPI) QPU Driver" readme = "README.md" requires-python = ">=3.12,<3.13" diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py index 4260d7c4..3632920e 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ try: __version__ = importlib.metadata.version("qpi-driver") except importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: - __version__ = "0.4.1" + __version__ = "0.4.2-rc.15" from qpi_driver.builtins import ( DeviceBuilder, diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py index 7f23ffc1..c202747a 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/builtins/calibrate.py @@ -172,48 +172,89 @@ def _on_start(self) -> None: self._result_pump.start() def _pump_results(self) -> None: - """Drain the worker's reports and emit each as a CalibrationResult.""" + """Drain the worker's reports and emit each as a CalibrationResult. + + Every item is handled inside a guard, because this is a daemon thread and the + failure it can have is the quiet one.

So that attribute name is load-bearing, and nothing checked it. Four routines kept theirs under a name of their own: `drag` as `_betas` against an axis of `motzois`, `fine_amplitude_12` as `_counts`, `resonator_punchout` as `_powers`, `flux_spectroscopy` as `_offsets`. For all four `_widened` found nothing, returned the config unchanged, and `escalating` re-raised — so the refusal named the range it had already swept, which reads exactly like a chip with no answer in it. On the August 2026 B chip `drag` failed with an optimum of -0.614 against a swept +/-0.2 in three consecutive runs and never widened once. I shipped its escalation and then watched it not escalate. Renamed to match, and `test_every_swept_axis_is_readable_from_outside` holds the convention: it instruments `setpoints_of` and asserts every axis a routine passes at runtime has a `_` to read it back from. Confirmed to fail on the reintroduced bug rather than merely pass — `drag sweeps ['motzois'] but keeps them under another name`. Instrumented rather than grepped, the way the `reads` ledger already is. And MAX_RB_CLIFFORDS is 1000, measured this time. At 2500 the widened sweep was 2413 Cliffords, which compiled to 1,133,426 bytes — the driver's own error carried the SCPI block header, `PROGram #71133426`. At about 45 characters a line that is some 25000 instructions, 10.4 per Clifford rather than the four I estimated, and the 12288 a sequencer takes affords about 1180. 1000 leaves the 15% headroom MAX_SWEEP_POINTS leaves. Its docstring said the number had never been checked against a real program and should be measured if it ever bound; it bound, and was still twice too high. 1000 sits below the shipped default of 1270 Cliffords, which does assemble. That is deliberate: it bounds widening only, never an operator's own sweep, and what it says about that config is true — there is no room to average harder without shallower sequences first. --- CHANGELOG.md | 7 +++ qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 8 +++ .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/benchmarks.py | 36 +++++------ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 16 ++--- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 12 ++-- .../tuners/routines/spectroscopy.py | 18 +++--- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 61 ++++++++++++++++++- 8 files changed, 117 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 1d7e52c6..2220ec4c 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -18,6 +18,13 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. value quantify sets on a sequencer is its program — so one `Assembly failed` produced a 2.4 MB error, a 1.37 MB payload, and a record the server refused for exceeding the 1 MB its JSON field takes.

Rather than refine those, this removes them — it sweeps the *same* pulse, same envelope and duration and port and amplitudes, on the .01 clock instead of the .12. Both factors cancel identically and what is left is sqrt(2), which no pulse convention can move. Near it, the ladder holds and the 3.7x lives in the corrections; far from it, the two clocks are not driven alike, which is the output chain and not something this graph can calibrate away. It writes nothing. The simulated transmon reproduces sqrt(2) to 15%, which it must: its ladder falls out of the Hamiltonian rather than being written in. `add_ef_pulse` takes a `transition`. **RB splits rather than caps.** MAX_RB_CLIFFORDS was a ceiling on how hard RB could average, and capping was wrong twice over: the operator asks for that much averaging because less does not resolve, and a program that will not assemble returns from qcodes as a 2.4 MB exception, which is what blew the report past what the server stores. RFC 0007 §5 already answers this — chunk across acquisitions rather than refuse — and this is the node that needed it. `CalibrationRoutine.acquire` is the seam, defaulting to exactly what the two call sites did, so nothing else changes behaviour. RB overrides it to partition the circuits, seed each chunk apart, and stack each depth's circuits side by side. The split is *exact* rather than approximate: `analyse` reduces each depth by the mean over its circuits, and the mean of a partition equals the mean of the whole. 50 circuits over the shipped depths is 8 schedules of at most 889 Cliffords. The depths ceiling stays and no longer depends on the circuit count — circuits can be split, a single sequence cannot, so only one circuit's worth of every depth must fit. Also: the simulated interleaved_rb named its own circuit count, and `escalating` leaves a named axis alone rather than overruling a stated sweep. That is why no amount of budget let it average the decay out of its scatter. Unset, it resolves at the shipped 10. Verified: 860 fast against the unchanged 35 environmental, 172 simulated. --- CHANGELOG.md | 10 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/dag.py | 10 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 25 ++- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/__init__.py | 3 + .../qpi_driver/tuners/routines/benchmarks.py | 154 ++++++++++++++---- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 150 ++++++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_calibration_loop.py | 44 ++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 94 +++++++++++ 8 files changed, 438 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 2220ec4c..ceb59f63 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -22,9 +22,13 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. can actually be widened.

The number was never wrong, only the thing it was applied to. Chunked rather than capped, for the reason RFC 0007 exists: a grid an operator asked for is a statement about their chip. Capping returns a coarser grid than was asked for, and on a frequency axis that means stepping over the line being looked for — while a program that will not assemble comes back from qcodes carrying its own Q1ASM, which is how a 2.4 MB error once cost a calibration its whole report. `acquire_in_row_chunks` is the shared arithmetic and `acquire` — added for RB — is the seam. Split by *rows*, and so no overlap is needed: RFC 0007 §5 wants overlapping edges on a chunked band and is right about a band, since cutting a frequency axis in two leaves a line on the seam fitted from half its shoulders. Rows are not a band. Each row here is an independent full sweep over the same grid, so a seam falls between whole measurements. Measured: 20 rows x 101 points becomes four schedules of 606, 606, 606, 202 and stitches back to exactly 2020, every seam row-aligned. One correction to what I claimed when proposing this: none of the three escalates its own points — only `resonator_spectroscopy` does, and it is one-dimensional. So this is not a sweep that grows itself into the wall; it is an operator's grid being honoured instead of refused. Which is the better argument anyway. `QubitSpectroscopy` kept its rows as `_amplitudes` against a config key of `drive_amps` — the same convention break 7746831 fixed in four other routines, and one the new invariant test misses because it assigns the attribute directly rather than through `setpoints_of`. Renamed. **And the timeout warning said something untrue.** "schedule needs 256.0s of pulses, more than the 300s ceiling" — 256 is not more than 300. It printed the pulse time while comparing the *rounded* one: 256s rounds up to the instrument's 60s grid and gains a minute for upload and arming, so what had to fit was 360s.

So a shortening could produce a ladder the fit then rejected, and the routine had spent its one retry to get there. `MIN_FIT_POINTS` is named in `core.py` now and both the floor and `_amplified`'s check read it. **And on every fourth count there was nowhere to go.** [1, 5, 9, 13] is already the shortest four-point 4k+1 ladder, so the only shortening available was one that broke the fit. The 4k+1 default is not wrong — it holds the demodulation at +1 throughout, which is easier to read — but it is stricter than the model needs. What the guard requires is `cos(n*pi/2) == 0`, and that holds for every *odd* n with the demodulation alternating instead. Verified rather than assumed: [1, 3, 5, 7] leaves 4e-16 in the discarded quadrature, the same as [1, 5, 9, 13]. That is the difference between refining the pulse and refusing it. At the 0.116 rad per pulse this chip showed, thirteen pulses accumulate 1.51 rad — past the radian the linearisation holds to — and seven accumulate 0.81. One test asserted the two-point floor, so it asserted the bug; it now asserts the floor and a second covers step 4 having no room. Verified: 879 fast against the unchanged 35 environmental, 172 simulated. --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 + .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/core.py | 13 +++- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 25 ++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 59 +++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 86 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index de805a8d..1640e885 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -22,6 +22,9 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. can actually be widened.

The August 2026 B chip fitted 0.5060 against a sweep stopping at 0.5 — 1.2% over, so inside the grace band — and wrote it to `rxy.amp180`. It was 3.07x too high. `ef_ladder` ran its own 0-1 sweep later in the same run, on the identical 41-point grid, and resolved a full oscillation with the pi at 0.1647. The difference between the two is when they run: `readout_operating_point` depends on `rabi`, because tuning the readout needs a pi pulse to prepare |1>, so `rabi` necessarily measures through an untuned readout. On this chip that readout returns a monotone rise in drive amplitude, which is indistinguishable from half a Rabi period — and half a period is exactly what the fit reported. So the grace band cannot stay. The pi amplitude is the curve's first extremum: a sweep ending on it has resolved the whole half-period, and one ending short of it has seen only a rise that a power-dependent background produces just as well. Nothing in the sweep separates those two, which is the reason to escalate and go look rather than accept. The bound is now the top of the sweep itself, with a 1e-6 rounding tolerance — the boundary case overshoots by 1e-10, four orders clear. Downstream of the accepted 0.5060: `fine_amplitude` refined it to 0.5117 from a fit whose residual was 25.8% of its span, `drag` tuned a pulse that was not a pi, `rb` reported 90.0%, and `allxy` refused a qubit the graph had detuned itself. Verified: 880 fast tests pass against the 35 unchanged environmental failures (28 assembler, 7 dummy-cluster), 172 simulated pass. The real sweeps confirm the discrimination — the B chip's `rabi` data now escalates, its `ef_ladder` data still fits at 0.1647, and a pi landing anywhere from 20% to 100% of the sweep top is still accepted. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 +++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 32 +++++++++++++++++-- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 17 +++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_tuner_routines.py | 2 +- 4 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 1640e885..26a5c9fa 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Fixed +- `qpi-driver/py`: `rabi` no longer accepts a pi amplitude up to 10% above the top of its + own sweep.

Its curve spanned 6.7x its own residual scatter against a floor of 3, and 201 us is well inside the ten windows `require_in_range` allows. Nothing but T1 contradicted it, and T1 was not there to. So `t1` writes `coherence.t1` and `t2_echo` depends on it. The new submodule is opt-in per element like every other `CalibratedTransmon` field, added to both the quantify and qblox twins — a field on one and not the other is how the qblox tuner once came to be unable to finish a calibration at all — and a config using a plain `BasicTransmonElement` skips the ceiling and behaves exactly as before. The ceiling carries a 1.5x margin because both times are fitted and a genuinely T1-limited echo reads high; that still refuses this chip by a factor of two. It refuses rather than escalates, unlike the other guards here: T1 says the decay is over well inside the window, so widening it answers the opposite question, and `shots` is not an axis escalation can move. One test needed its own random generator. `_noise` draws from a stream shared across the file, so a new test drawing from it moved the noise the RB tests below are fitted through.

That is the right objective for a discriminator and the wrong one for almost everything else in the graph: `rabi`, `ramsey`, `drag`, `fine_amplitude`, `allxy`, `ef_ladder` and the rest reduce their acquisition to a magnitude through `signal_of`, and a magnitude sees none of the phase that most of the complex separation consists of once the drive is off resonance. The two coincide only when the dispersive shift is large against the linewidth. The August 2026 B chip's was 106 kHz against 410 kHz — 0.259 of it — and there every magnitude sweep found half the Rabi period: `ef_ladder`'s own 0-1 sweep put the pi at 0.1647 against a working 0.3446, which is 0.508x, the pi/2. At the working pi its fitted signal sits 0.5% of the sweep contrast from the |0> level, so |S| peaked at half population and came back. A cosine through that resolves the pi/2 and calls it the pi. Nothing measured whether the readout point had any magnitude contrast at all, so this adds it: `magnitude_frequency`, `magnitude_amplitude`, `magnitude_contrast`, `magnitude_snr`, and `magnitude_snr_at_chosen` — the contrast surviving at the point the discriminator actually picks. Reported, not chosen, and it costs no acquisition: these are the same shots the discriminator was already graded on, reduced a second way. The operating point is unmoved and `updates` is unchanged, so no node behaves differently. Moving the readout frequency for the magnitude nodes is the next step, and this is what justifies it with a number off the chip rather than from a hypothesis — two of mine about this chip have already been wrong. Verified: 889 fast tests pass against the 35 unchanged environmental failures, 172 simulated pass. A synthetic phase-only sweep confirms the split — the discriminator keeps its point while magnitude SNR there reads 0.13 against 30.6 available one setpoint away. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 ++ .../tuners/fitting/discrimination.py | 52 ++++++++++++++++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 42 +++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 97 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 6f908ba0..639035e8 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -88,6 +88,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Added +- `qpi-driver/py`: `readout_operating_point` reports the *magnitude* contrast across its + sweep, and how much of it survives at the point it picks.

The artificial detuning is what picks between them — but only while it is the larger of the two, and nothing checked that precondition. On the August 2026 B chip it was not. `qubit_spectroscopy` left f01 4.06 MHz low and the fringe came back at 3.12 MHz against a 1 MHz artificial detuning, so the root taken was the wrong one: `ramsey` wrote 5.311817 GHz, moving f01 2.12 MHz *further* from the 5.317995 that chip's own working calibration uses. The other root lands at 5.318057 — 60 kHz from it. The refinement loop already had the evidence and threw it away. Correcting in the wrong direction makes the next pass's residual grow, which is exactly what it saw, and it responded by keeping the worse of the two answers and stopping. Now, when the residual comes back at least as large as the deliberate bias, both roots are applied and measured and the one leaving less is kept. One extra sweep, and only when the sign is genuinely in doubt. `_detuning` reads through `getattr` because `measure` can now consult it before any schedule has been built, which is how the existing refinement tests drive the loop — the same reading `_detuning_floor` gives an unswept `_delays`.

Its pi counterpart reported 0.035 rad per pulse from a scatter of 0.47. Both wrote their result to the amplitude every gate afterwards plays. `require_resolved_curve` cannot catch this, and its own docstring says why: it compares a curve's span against its scatter, and this line's span is legitimately tiny — a correctly calibrated pulse *is* a flat line through zero. What the model does bound is the signal, so the scatter has an absolute scale to be judged against instead of a relative one. A quarter of that range. Shot noise on a normalised population is about `1/sqrt(shots)` either side, so a 1024-shot sweep scatters near 0.06 and the bound is four times clear of it; the two failures above are five and eight times over.

That number came from the simulated chip, where it is 1.8 linewidths of a 3.31 MHz resonator — the node's own comment had already worked that coefficient out and then kept the constant, noting that deriving it wanted a bigger register budget first. It did not: the width can follow the chip while the five-point cap stays exactly where the sequencer puts it. On the August 2026 B chip the constant is eighteen linewidths of a 327 kHz resonator, so four of the five frequencies sat where nothing comes back. That is the same failure a constant span produced in `readout_operating_point`, whose 2 MHz was 5.4 linewidths on that chip and put the outer setpoints off resonance altogether — and it is why this node has never once passed there. Narrowing it by hand goes wrong the other way, and that chip's config did: 200 kHz is 0.61 linewidths, which is the two-state coefficient this node's docstring records as breaking it outright.

Only the first is a reason to refuse. The second took four nodes down with it that had never been given the chance to judge their own data — `three_state_discrimination`, `ramsey_12`, `drag_12` and `fine_amplitude_12` have not run once on the August 2026 B chip, behind a `three_state_operating_point` reading 0.93 against a bar of 1.5 and a `rabi_12` reading 2.5 against a bar of 3. Both floors are now derived rather than picked, and neither comes from a chip. `require_resolved_curve` refuses below what pure noise fakes over that many points. Six hundred decaying-cosine fits through unit Gaussian noise gave a 99th percentile of 3.53 at 21 points, 2.36 at 41 and 1.84 at 81 — `16/sqrt(n)` to within 6%, which is the same methodology `MIN_LINE_REACH` was calibrated by. The scaling is the finding: a fixed 3.0 *admits* noise at 21 points and discards three-sigma results at 81. What a fit can counterfeit depends on how many points it had to counterfeit through, and on nothing about the chip. `three_state_operating_point` refuses below the separation at which its closest pair reaches `MIN_ASSIGNMENT_FIDELITY` — `2*Phi^-1(0.6) = 0.51` scatters, from the Gaussian overlap of two clouds. Between there and 1.5 it writes the point and marks it degraded. `fit_three_state_discrimination` gets the same treatment: its confusion matrix is the honest description of a poor readout and is more use to whatever reads it than a refusal is. Guards that answer the first question keep refusing, and the audit says which: `MIN_LINE_REACH` (calibrated on noise), `MAX_ACCUMULATED_ROTATION` (past a radian the model is wrong, not noisy), `MAX_DEMODULATED` (a signal bounded at one reaching three means the normaliser is wrong), `MAX_T2_OVER_T1` (impossible), `MAX_AMPLITUDE_REACH` (r off the fit's boundary), `require_in_range` and rabi's past-the-sweep-top check (never swept through). One simulated test moved with the floor rather than against it: `test_mapping_back_is_what_survives_a_noisier_readout` asserts a window where the plain 1-2 sequence is refused and the mapped-back one is not. The window is the claim and it still holds; it now sits at 0.5 shot noise where it sat at 0.3, because 41 points tolerate more than the constant assumed.

That is right in general and wrong at a factor of two, and the August 2026 B chip shows why. Three runs there resolved two clean oscillations at 1.81x the ladder. Every one of them also measured |2>'s dispersive shift at -35 kHz against |1>'s -100 — |2> was not being populated at all — and `three_state_operating_point` collapsed to 0.11 where the ladder-consistent runs gave 0.93. The oscillation is real; it is not the 1-2 transition. It also cannot be recovered by refitting, which is worth recording because it was the obvious thing to try. Seeding the fit at the ladder frequency converges back to the same answer, and forcing the period there describes that data 1.2x worse — outside the 11% standard error on the comparison. The two branches are two datasets, not two minima of one. So a resolved oscillation near double or half the ladder is now refused rather than warned about. Accepting it wrote an `ef_amp180` that took `ef_ladder`, `resonator_spectroscopy_second_excited`, `three_state_operating_point` and the four nodes behind it down, and surfaced two nodes later as an unexplained three-state collapse. Refused here it is one message naming the drive. `fit_rabi` gains an optional `expected_amp180` that seeds a second fit and keeps the physics-seeded one only while the data cannot separate the two, by the `1/sqrt(2n)` standard error on an rms residual. It changes nothing on this chip — both seeds converge — but a sweep whose cosine really does have two near-degenerate minima is a general failure mode and the seed costs one extra fit. `ladder_amplitude` is split out of `_require_ef_ladder` so both callers form the prediction the same way.

That function already drops rows a saturating drive broadened and ranks what survives; it was simply never given more than one row here. The constant was tuned against the simulator and does not transfer. tergite-autocalibration, which calibrates this chip family, sweeps 6e-3 to 3e-2 for its 1-2 line — 0.10 is 3.3x its ceiling. On the August 2026 B chip that broadened the line to 37-42 MHz where the intrinsic width at its 70 us T2* is 4.5 kHz, and the fitted centre then wandered 3.06 MHz across five runs while f01, measured on a node that does sweep power, held to 6.5 kHz. `rabi_12` drives at that centre, which is the most likely reason it intermittently found an oscillation that was real and was not the 1-2 transition. The ladder is anchored to `spec.amplitude` — the drive `qubit_spectroscopy` chose for this chip — times 4.7, and spans a factor of five in three points. Both numbers come from tergite's own two ladders: geometric centres 2.8e-3 for 0-1 against 1.34e-2 for 1-2. A *ratio* rather than an amplitude because the absolute value is a property of the drive chain's attenuation and of nothing else, so anchoring to what the 0-1 line actually needed makes this follow the chip instead of following whichever chip a constant was tuned on. Unmeasured, it falls back to the old 0.10 as the ladder's centre, so a config without `spec.amplitude` behaves as before. `spec.amplitude` joins its `reads`, which the instrumented declaration test required as soon as the anchor started reading it.

Its own note says "a chip that needs more than this says so by refusing, and the refusal names the axis" — but every refusal in `fit_spectroscopy_power` was a plain `FitError` naming nothing, `drive_amps` was in neither escalatable set, and `_sweep` called `acquire` and `analyse` directly with no retry. So a chip whose drive chain is more attenuated than the one the ladder was tuned on simply died at `qubit_spectroscopy`, and its operator had to discover a working amplitude by hand. The August 2026 B chip did exactly that: 3.33x over its own scatter at 0.08 against the 5x `require_resolved_line` clears, and a hand-written `drive_amps` reaching 0.3. That number is right for one chip and wrong for the next, because the power a line needs is a property of the drive chain's attenuation and of nothing else. The only chip-independent way to find it is to start low, where the line is narrow and its centre honest, and climb when the chip says it cannot be seen. So the two "nothing resolved" refusals now carry `axis="drive_amps"`, and `_sweep` goes through `escalating`. One escalation from the default reaches 0.305, which brackets what that chip needed, and `escalating` leaves an axis the operator named alone — so a config that sets `drive_amps` still wins. Both drive ladders also record `_drive_amps_ceiling`. Without it `_widened` scaled them past full scale and the compiler refused the waveform with `awg_gain_0 is set to 1.2038`, which took out 28 simulated tests on the first attempt — `Rabi` carries the same line for the same reason and its comment predicted this exactly.

That is a deadlock. Populating |2> at all is the three-state node's whole premise — its refusal says so, "most often the sweep never prepared |2>" — and the node that makes the ef pi accurate enough to populate it was sitting behind it. On the August 2026 B chip `three_state_operating_point` has never once passed, so `fine_amplitude_12`, `three_state_discrimination`, `ramsey_12` and `drag_12` have never run at all, in six attempts. The justification for reading there was sound and had an answer one node away: the reference states are |1> and |2>, which sit almost on top of each other at a 0-1 readout. `rabi_12` already solves exactly that — a second 0-1 pi after the ef pulses returns |1> to |0> and leaves |2> alone, so the ef rotation lands in the |0> population, which is what a 0-1 readout is good at. This now plays the same trick, on the sweep and on both reference states, so the contrast the fit divides by is the one the sweep traverses. That map-back is Chen et al., PRL 116, 020501 (2016): measure twice, the second time with a final pi on 0-1, which swaps |0> and |1> and leaves |2> untouched. Amplified amplitude refinement seeded from a coarse Rabi is likewise the standard ef workflow. Neither is new; the ef ladder was simply written without the literature the rest of the graph in RFC 0004 has, and this commit puts it back. tergite-autocalibration solves the same deadlock differently. Its `n_rabi_12_oscillations` at `qubit_state = 1` prepares |1> with an X *before* the ef pulses and reads with `Measure_RO1` — the same readout pulse on the `ro1` clock, the resonator frequency with the qubit excited — so it discriminates |1> from |2> rather than |0> from |2>. Mapping back instead should give the larger separation of the two at a 0-1-optimised readout, and needs no second readout frequency; `ro1` remains the fallback if it does not, since `resonator_spectroscopy_excited` already measures it. `three_state_operating_point` now depends on `fine_amplitude_12` rather than `rabi_12`, so it gets the refined pi instead of a coarse fit that lands within a few per cent at best and on the wrong oscillation at worst. Amplification is also what disambiguates the oscillation `rabi_12` finds. A per-pulse error grows linearly with repetitions while noise does not, so the factor of two that chip alternates between is unmistakable by the seventh pulse where a single-pulse sweep confuses the two. Verified: 897 fast tests pass against the 35 unchanged environmental failures, 172 simulated pass — including the full-DAG simulated run, which exercises this node's new schedule and readout end to end. --- CHANGELOG.md | 5 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 57 +++++++++++++------ 2 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 4791b910..3754b430 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,11 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Changed +- `qpi-driver/py`: `fine_amplitude_12` refines the EF pi on the ordinary 0-1 readout, by + mapping |1> back the way `rabi_12` already does, and `three_state_operating_point` now + depends on it.

The measurement was good: - 3.4 clean periods over the sweep, flat envelope, evenly spaced extrema; - contrast 0.006061 against `rabi`'s own 0.004257 — 1.42x, and |0>-|2> should exceed |0>-|1> because it is two dispersive shifts rather than one; - the extremes sit at 0.0053 and 0.0112 where the |0> and |2> readout magnitudes are, given the -100.5 kHz per excitation `resonator_spectroscopy_excited` measured independently; - the second minimum falls at exactly twice the fitted amplitude, so that is a full 2 pi and the first maximum is a pi, not a pi/2. The factor-of-two refusal was added when the only evidence available came from another node: `resonator_spectroscopy_second_excited` put |2>'s shift at -35 kHz against |1>'s -100, so |2> was not being populated and the oscillation, though real, was not the 1-2 transition. Now that `rabi_12` maps |2> back through a 0-1 pi that inference can be made in-node, from this sweep, against `rabi`'s contrast — and it is the sharper test. A drive too weak to turn a pi moves a fraction of the population by definition, whatever the ladder ratio reads; one that moves all of it is turning a pi between some pair of levels. So `rabi` publishes its contrast on `resonator.contrast` — the same shape as `resonator.linewidth` and `coherence.t1`, a number measured and thrown away that a later guard needs — and the guard accepts a resolved sweep swinging at least MIN_LADDER_SWING of it. Threshold 0.7, a ratio of two contrasts on the same qubit through the same readout minutes apart, not a constant from any chip. Without a recorded reference the factor-of-two refusal stands unchanged. That leaves the ladder constant unexplained at 2.1x on this chip, which is a real question and not one a resolved measurement should be refused over.

Numerically integrating quantify's own `drag` at `nr_sigma = 4` gives 0.3133; the constant said 0.6267. Exactly two. The 2026-08-15 B chip settles it from the other end. `ef_ladder` drives 0-1 with the *same* pulse as the ef one and measured the ratio directly: matched_amp180 / ef_amp180 = 0.10927 / 0.07317 = 1.4933 vs sqrt(2) = 1.4142 5.6% — the anharmonic correction of order E_C/hf01, which is 4.7% on this chip. The sqrt(2) ladder holds. What did not hold was the prediction: `rxy.amp180` of 0.3456 against a measured envelope correction of 0.3162, where the constant claimed 0.6267. With it corrected the same run lands at 0.956 of the ladder rather than 0.47, inside the bound by a wide margin instead of six per cent outside it. So the factor of two chased across four days was in this file the whole time, and the chip was right at every step. The previous commit's swing test is what let the run through to produce `ef_ladder`'s measurement, which is what identified it — but the ratio guard should never have needed rescuing. A factor of two is the one error this module is least able to see: it is also the spacing of the cosine roots `fit_rabi` picks between, so a wrong constant and a halved period are indistinguishable in `ef_amp180` alone. Hence `test_ef_envelope_area_matches_the_real_waveform`, which integrates the emitted envelope rather than restating the derivation — the old test asserted 0.6267, which is the same arithmetic that was wrong. Three ladder tests changed with it. `test_the_b_chip_s_ef_pulse_is_refused` becomes `..._is_on_the_ladder` on the real 2026-08-15 numbers; the envelope test now asserts a refusal, since omitting the correction is a 3.2x error rather than the 1.6x it was described as; and the partial-rotation test moves to an amplitude that is actually a partial rotation.

The factor-of-two window — `1.6 <= ratio <= 2.5 or 0.4 <= ratio <= 0.625` — was added to refuse the August 2026 B chip's `rabi_12`, on the reasoning that a clean oscillation at twice the ladder had to be some other transition. It was not. The prediction was wrong by two because `EF_ENVELOPE_AREA` read `nr_sigma` off the wrong side of the Gaussian, and the window was a hand-cut hole around my own arithmetic error. On any chip whose ef pulse genuinely sits near half or double the modelled amplitude for an unrelated reason, it refuses a good measurement and names the drive. What is left is two readings, both properties of the sweep rather than of a chip: whether it holds a whole oscillation, and whether it moves as much population as `rabi` does. A drive too weak to turn a pi fails both by construction — fewer than one period, and a fraction of the swing — so clearing them together is what a pi looks like wherever the ladder expected the amplitude to be. `expected` is a model of the pulse chain and `ef_ladder` measures the same relation directly by playing one pulse on both transitions, so this guard is deliberately the weaker witness. `RXY_NR_SIGMA` stays a literal, because the tuner layer has no scheduler to ask and importing one would cross the executor boundary. It is now asserted against the `nr_sigma` a real `DRAGPulse` emits, so a change to the scheduler's default fails the test rather than silently recentring every ef bound — a library coupling that is checked, rather than a chip constant that is assumed. Audited the rest of this session's constants on the same question. `MIN_LADDER_SWING` is a ratio of two contrasts on one qubit through one readout; `MIN_DRAG_RISE` and `MIN_ALLXY_CONTRAST` are signal against scatter; `SPAN_IN_LINEWIDTHS` and `T2_WINDOW_IN_T1` are sweeps in units of what the chip measured; `NOISE_FAKEABLE_SPAN` scales as 1/sqrt(n); `MIN_USABLE_SEPARATION` comes from a fidelity target through a normal quantile. None carries a number off a particular chip. Verified: 899 fast against the 35 unchanged environmental failures, 172 simulated. --- CHANGELOG.md | 14 ++++++ qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml | 2 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 43 ++++++++++--------- qpi-driver/py/uv.lock | 2 +- 5 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index b3a912fd..3eb7bf54 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,10 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Changed +- `qpi-driver/py`: the 1-2 ladder guard drops its factor-of-two special case and judges a + resolved sweep on periods and population swing alone — both properties of the sweep + rather than of any chip. `ef_ladder` measures the same relation directly, so the modelled + prediction is deliberately the weaker witness. - `qpi-driver/py`: `rabi_12` now judges an off-ladder 1-2 pi by how much population it swings — `rabi` records its own contrast for the comparison — instead of refusing every amplitude a factor of two off the sqrt(2) ladder.

It is the last free parameter in readout SNR and the one with a genuine interior optimum: signal accumulates with the window and noise only with its square root, so separation climbs as sqrt(t) until the qubit starts relaxing inside the window, after which a longer one only adds shots of the wrong state. Where those meet is set by T1 and chi, so it is a property of the chip. `resonator_relaxation` has asked for this node in its own docstring since it was written — it measures the ring-up, which is a floor on the window and says nothing about noise or relaxation, and it deferred writing the parameter until there was a discrimination fidelity to choose against. There is now. Runs ahead of the rest of the readout chain, because every node after it measures a separation this scales. Three things the implementation had to accommodate: - One schedule per window, not one sweep. Every square acquisition in a Qblox program shares an integration length — a second raises "attempting to set an integration_length of 500 ns, while this was previously determined to be 250" — so the one axis this node exists to sweep is the one that cannot be swept in a schedule. `acquire` walks it and concatenates, as `rb` does for its own reason. - Hold on a tie. An SNR from n shots carries about 1/sqrt(2n) of relative error, so a flat landscape still has a winner and taking it moves the readout on noise. Every window is a multiple of the incumbent, so the incumbent is always in the sweep and is what a tie falls back to. This is not hypothetical: the simulator models no acquisition window at all, so its landscape is exactly flat, and without the guard the node shortened the simulated chip's readout fourfold and `resonator_relaxation`'s own test caught it. - The window ladder is multiples of what the config arrived with, which is the only scale available before anything has been measured on this axis. A config already right keeps its value, since 1.0 is in the ladder. Note for the simulated suite: it exercises that this node runs, chooses and holds, but cannot exercise the physics, because the simulator's readout does not depend on the window. That has to come from hardware.

A sine fitted with a line always yields a shallow slope, so the product under-reports by exactly the amount that makes the guard necessary and it can never fire in the case it exists for. The 2026-08-15 B chip's sweep spanned 0.920 of its own contrast — at least 1.17 rad of turn, and about 3 rad by a sine fit — while the slope claimed 0.73 and the ceiling let it through. The amplitude came from a line through a saturating sine and went to every X pulse afterwards. The span is model-free: the demodulated signal is `sin(n*d)` bounded at one, so `arcsin(span)` is a floor on the turn whatever the line says. A floor, because arcsin saturates at pi/2 and cannot see a sine that has already turned back — which is why the shortening is at least a halving rather than the literal ratio. Taking the ratio would have gone 25 -> 21 -> 17 and refused with both passes spent; halving reaches 6 and lands inside the linear regime. Ordered before the scatter test but gated on a span of two, the most a bounded sine can produce. Above that the contrast is the suspect rather than the rotation, and the scatter and reach guards give the right remedy — "average more shots" rather than "shorten the sweep". Second, `fine_amplitude_90` wrote an amp90 off four points of noise: a slope of 0.0037 against a standard error of 0.0153 on it, a quarter of a sigma. My first attempt at this was a rise-against-scatter test like `fit_drag`'s, and it was wrong in principle — the slope *is* the calibrated quantity here, so a perfectly tuned pulse has no rise and the test refused the success case. It took the simulated DAG failing to show that. What is refusable is the *correction*, not the fit. Below three standard errors the sweep has not resolved one and zero is written instead, with a warning. Honest, and harmless where a refusal would have blocked every node behind it.

It compiled up to the point qblox refused "a time value of 806792.4289192001 ns", from a routine that looked fine. The delays are now snapped so that *half* a delay lands on the grid, which is the quantity actually played. `rb` produced a real decay for the first time and reported a fidelity of 0.99997 from it, against the 9.5% per gate AllXY measured on the same chip in the same run. The decay is real — 0.916 to 0.848 — but shallow enough that `a` and `r` are not separable: only their product sets the slope, so the fit ran `a` to 17.85 and the asymptote to -16.94 to draw a straight line, and the rate it reports is assumed. `MAX_AMPLITUDE_REACH` exists for exactly this and its docstring already names the test — "a real one fits A near the span it spans". It was set at 200 and this fit landed at 199, one part in two hundred inside the wall. So the wall moves rather than a fourth guard joining the three already here. Measured against clean decays over the same depths: p = 0.9 fits A at 1.1 times its span, p = 0.99 at 2.2, and p = 0.9998 — slow enough that the curve has barely bent — at 50. A hundred is twice the slowest of those and half the degenerate one; the gap between the two populations is two orders wide, which is what makes a threshold in it safe. Three sharper-looking guards were tried first and each refused a case it should have passed: a floor on how far the deepest sequence decayed (refuses a good qubit, which legitimately decays slowly), a bound on the fitted asymptote (breaks the rescaling invariance `fit_rb_decay` is tested for), and a significance test on the rate against its own covariance (refuses clean synthetic decays outright). The existing bound was the right shape the whole time.

That is not a measured optimum, it is where the sweep stopped — and the separation was still climbing when it did, which is exactly the case the node exists to find the end of. Nothing was forcing the ladder to be short. Each rung is already its own schedule, because a Qblox program takes one integration length and a second raises from inside the backend, so the two-acquisition register budget that bounds every other sweep in this file does not apply across rungs. The cost of another rung is one short schedule. So the ladder now doubles from a quarter of the configured window up to the ceiling — eight rungs from 0.225 to 16.384 us on this chip, against the five it had — and the rung it picks is bracketed on both sides unless it is the ceiling itself. Escalation would have been the other route and is the wrong one here. `OutOfRange` on an exhausted axis re-raises, so a node that merely picked its top setpoint would fail and take the whole readout chain with it. Choosing the longest reachable window is a correct answer, not a failure; it is only an incomplete one, and a warning is the right weight for that. When the winner is the ceiling the message says what that means — more readout SNR on this chip needs different hardware, not a different window. This is the axis the three-state chain is short of. The last run's move from 0.9 to 3.6 us took `three_state_discrimination`'s |1> error from 0.567 to 0.405 and its leakage from 0.25 to 0.189, with the ladder's top rung as the only thing stopping it.

The ladder is `range(1, 26)`, the same shape and the same step, so `amplified(step=1)` applies unchanged. `_amplified` becomes `amplified`, since a helper used from another module is not module-private. `ef` already imports from `spectroscopy`, so the direction is established and adds no cycle.

Once the drive stops there is no more signal to integrate — only ring-down, then noise — so a longer window grows the denominator and not the numerator.

The ladder I widened to the instrument's 16.384 us last commit chose 7.2, half of it noise. Discrimination still improved — it came from 0.9 us and gained more signal than it lost, taking readout fidelity 0.824 to 0.865 and `three_state_discrimination` 0.714 to 0.770 — but every magnitude node paid for it: contrast fell 27%, `qubit_spectroscopy` fitted a 573 MHz linewidth on a transmon whose anharmonicity is 253, and `f12_spectroscopy` lost its line entirely. Both read a magnitude, and half their window was empty. Read from the element rather than assumed, because pulse length is a chip fact: 3.8 us here against the fixture's 300 ns wants windows an octave apart and neither is wrong. Two ring-down constants of headroom, since a 322 kHz resonator rings for about a microsecond and cutting exactly at the pulse would discard it. The incumbent now always joins the ladder, unclamped, and that is not a detail. A config integrating past its own pulse is precisely what this node should shorten, and it may only shorten on evidence — the value being replaced has to be measured beside the alternatives. The fixture integrates 1 us behind a 300 ns pulse: clamped out of its own sweep, the tie-hold lost the rung it compares against and the node quartered the window on noise.

There is no minimum there, so the honest output is the number and a flag, not silence. - `fit_t2` reports a T2 past 2*T1 as the lower bound it is. That the window did not contain the decay is a measurement of the window, and the run should say so. A node that *does* write keeps its prior instead: - `fit_drag` returns the motzoi already on the element when the sweep does not rise above its own scatter. The root of a line through noise must not be written; that never made declining to report the right answer. `drag_12` refused on every run for want of this. - `amplified` returns the routine's `uncorrected` result when the ladder runs out. A rotation that outruns the linear model at every reachable length is a real finding, and it licenses no correction — but the amplitude it would have refined is still the best available. `fine_amplitude_12` refused on all six runs of this chip and `r12`'s pi went unrefined the whole time for want of a number it already had. Six tests changed from asserting a refusal to asserting the flag. Their evidence still stands — the dead-readout survivals still come back marked, and a real decay at fidelity 0.986 through 0.9998 still comes back clean. Verified: 901 fast against the 35 unchanged environmental failures, 172 simulated. --- CHANGELOG.md | 5 + qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml | 2 +- qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py | 2 +- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py | 13 ++ .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/cosine.py | 49 ++++--- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 121 ++++++++---------- .../py/qpi_driver/tuners/routines/ef.py | 19 ++- .../tuners/routines/single_qubit.py | 42 +++++- qpi-driver/py/tests/test_fitting.py | 56 ++++---- qpi-driver/py/uv.lock | 2 +- 10 files changed, 195 insertions(+), 116 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 62ae94be..7f0f0e67 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -9,6 +9,11 @@ and this project follows versions of format `{year}.{month}.{patch_number}`. ### Changed +- `qpi-driver/py`: a node that measured something imprecise now reports it and flags + `unresolved`, instead of refusing. `rb` and `t2_echo` write no device parameter, so a + wide error bar is a fact about the chip and withholding it published nothing; `drag` and + the fine-amplitude nodes keep the value they would have refined rather than writing a + correction their own model could not describe. - `qpi-driver/py`: `readout_integration_time` sweeps the whole reachable range of windows rather than a few factors either side of the configured one, so the window it writes is an optimum it bracketed instead of the edge it stopped at — and it says so when the best diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml b/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml index 4bdfd726..e1a266df 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml +++ b/qpi-driver/py/pyproject.toml @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "qpi-driver" -version = "0.4.2-rc.28" +version = "0.4.2-rc.29" description = "Quantum Processing Interface (QPI) QPU Driver" readme = "README.md" requires-python = ">=3.12,<3.13" diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py index ac072aaf..b888bfe3 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/__init__.py @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ try: __version__ = importlib.metadata.version("qpi-driver") except importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: - __version__ = "0.4.2-rc.28" + __version__ = "0.4.2-rc.29" from qpi_driver.builtins import ( DeviceBuilder, diff --git a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py index 2be46aa3..16e1a912 100644 --- a/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py +++ b/qpi-driver/py/qpi_driver/tuners/base/routines.py @@ -166,6 +166,19 @@ def analyse( the range that produced it.

These two now produce the right number instead. **RB.** The asymptote was fitted, and that freedom is exactly what made the rate unmeasurable: below one bend only the product `a*(1-r)` sets the slope, so the fit slides along the degeneracy until a bound stops it and the bound decides the answer. Every bound tried on the 2026-08-16 chip pinned — 100x the span, 10x, 3x, 1.5x — reporting 3.6e-05 to 3.4e-03 per Clifford as it went, with `b` at -20.3 for the loosest. A survival does not decay to minus twenty. It is not a free parameter. A depolarised n-qubit state survives with probability `1/2^n`, and since `rb` began normalising against measured |0> and X|0> references that is where the curve ends by construction. Pinned, the same data gives 2.19e-03 per Clifford with `a = 0.443` — survival at zero depth 0.94, which is where a readout of 0.87 fidelity puts it — and the physics finally agrees with itself: `allxy_check` measured 6.6e-02 per gate on that run against RB's 1.1e-03, and that gap is what RB is *for*, since random sequences average a coherent miscalibration into the depolarising rate while AllXY is built to see it. There is no softer version. Bounding `b` near a half instead of fixing it pins at the bound for any tolerance from 0.05 upward, and the reported rate walks with it. The trade is real and the e2e tolerance widened from 15% to 20% to hold it: an imperfect asymptote biases a shallow simulated decay by a few per cent. It buys three orders of magnitude on a real one. **T2 echo.** `T2Echo` set no `_delays_ceiling`, so escalation widened the window until the fit resolved *something* — 148 us to 355 us on that run, arriving at 148 us of T2 against a 49.4 us T1. Three times a bound nothing can exceed. Six T1 is three time constants of the longest T2 physics allows, and past it a rising signal is a readout wandering over a sweep of minutes, which looks exactly like a slow decay. Four tests changed with the model. Two encoded the min-max normalisation `rb` no longer does; one asserted a scale invariance deliberately traded away, and now asserts the trade in both directions; one gave a two-qubit fit a one-qubit asymptote.

Nothing in them runs physics: they count acquisitions per schedule and check the seams fall between whole rows. A `FakeDevice` with literal frequencies does that, and now does it under all four extras rather than none. **`test_ef_envelope_area_matches_the_real_waveform` imported quantify directly.** Mine, from this branch. It integrates quantify's own DRAG envelope, so it belongs to the `quantify` extra and now says so through `importorskip`, as the scqubits tests already do. **An unused import.** Mine: `OutOfRange` survived an escalating RB guard that did not. **`ruff format`.** Seven files, all touched on this branch. `lint-py` checks formatting as well as lint and I had only been running the tests. **The dashboard exported a helper beside a component.** `FidelityGrid.tsx` exported `worstComparable`, which trips `react-refresh/only-export-components` and failed `lint-dashboard` before Cypress ever started. `worstComparable` and `isEdge` move to `fidelity.ts` beside `format.ts`, `layout.ts` and `nodeDetail.ts`, which is where this project already keeps the pure helpers that have their own tests. Verified by running the jobs rather than inferring them: all four `test-py-driver` legs, `test-py-loop` under quantify and qblox, `lint-py`, `lint-go`, `test-py-cli`, `test-py-sim`, `test-e2e-driver`, `lint-dashboard`, `test-dashboard`, and `test-e2e-dashboard` — 143 Cypress specs, all passing. --- .../qpi_driver/tuners/fitting/exponential.py | 1 -
