QcoDeS is a Python-based data acquisition framework developed by the Copenhagen / Delft / Sydney / Microsoft quantum computing consortium.

The goal is a common framework for physics experiments, so:

• new students don’t need to spend a long time learning software in order to participate in experiments

• one has to write their own code only for pieces that are very specific to their own experiment

• code can and should be contributed back to the framework

• the process of moving between teams or labs, and of setting up a new experiment is streamlined

• physics experiments can take advantage of modern software and best practices

Read 15 minutes to QcoDeS to have quick overview on QCoDeS. Many more elaborate examples can be found in the example notebooks.
