Future development

[rodolfocarobene]

Hi, this is just a list of features and modifications that I would like to implement in the future.
They have different priorities and are not in any particular order but still would be nice to have them.
(also I wanted to try the tasklist)

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Fast reset: qick has this functionality, it's just a problem of how to implement it. Possibly, we could add to the qubit object the required classification parameters, as well as a specific pulse sequence to execute before the measurement/s
2. Extend sweepers to be on channels when multiple pulses are fired: to do it, we should use sweepers as we do now for delay and bias sweepers: defining a new register for every sweeper and not leveraging the existing standard one, to avoid changing the parameters of all the pulses
3. Decouple acquisition and pulse measurement: currently, a measurement pulse has two roles: (1) fire the pulse, (2) acquire. Although this is useful in computing applications, is limiting in general (Decouple measurement and pulses #89)
4. Add more pulse shapes: at least all the ones already defined in the Qick library could/should be added (Flat top pulse shape #93)
5. Add support for IQ generators: we have them in the multiplexed firmware for the ZCU216 and they are controlled with this method. They are useless for now, but I don't see why qibosoq shouldn't support them
