Abstract
Sinara, an open-source hardware ecosystem, has been designed to facilitate quantum experiments' efficient man-agement. Abiding by the CERN Open Hardware License, Sinara comprises over 50 modules, most of which are commercially available, representing a broad spectrum of capabilities. A crucial element of Sinara is its integration with the Advanced Real-Time Infrastructure for Quantum physics (ARTIQ) control system. This combination provides researchers with a robust toolkit with capabilities such as 1 ns timing resolution. It also includes a comprehensive suite of tools designed to manage experiment scheduling, versioning, results storage, and hardware management, enhancing the efficiency of quantum experiment workflows. The poster presents proposed development of Sinara based control system for a commercially available ion trap solution, with a systematic strategy to replace components of the control system with Sinara modules. This method affords valuable hands-on experience that will help in the design of future modules and the enhancement of existing ones. Proposed Sinara control system is to be made up of several subsystems, including high voltage controls, electrical controls, shuttling and readout, and laser controls. Each subsystem is managed through a PC and operated via ARTIQ or MQTT protocol, providing a structured framework for management. The subsystems utilize several advanced hardware components, including the Kasli v2 controller, Shuttler DAC, and DIOT STM Controller, among others.
