append_default_xy8_sequence

append_default_xy8_sequence(model, dd_duration, duration=None, spin_name='e', wait_durations=None, driving_field_name='MW_x')

Add a default XY8 pulse sequence.

The XY8 sequence consists of an X-Y-X-Y-Y-X-Y-X dynamical-decoupling pattern interleaved with pulseless intervals.

Parameters:

  • model (Model) – Model to update.

  • dd_duration (float) – Duration of each dynamical-decoupling \(\pi\) pulse applied to the electron spin.

  • duration (float) – Total duration of the pulse sequence. Ignored when wait_durations is provided.

  • spin_name (str) – Name of the electron spin.

  • wait_durations (List[float]) – Waiting times between the \(\pi\) pulses. Must contain 9 values when provided.

  • driving_field_name (str) – Name of the microwave driving field.

Return type:

Model

Returns:

Updated model.

Raises:

SimphonyError – If neither duration nor wait_durations defines a valid XY8 schedule.
