This video is the first of many BOULDER OPAL product updates and it is filled with a lot of the features we’ve been working hard to build over the last several months.
You can view details of the updates at our docs site: https://docs.q-ctrl.com/ or you can trial BOULER OPAL by signing up at https://app.q-ctrl.com/
Functional GraphQL API:
New function-based API to make quantum features faster, more intuitive, and better documented. For more info visit: https://docs.q-ctrl.com/references/python/qctrl/
Optimization features for system identification:
Use measured values of observables to identify parameters in hamiltonians and/or arbitrary functions to build a model of your quantum system. Using this model you can identify problems, like cross-talk, or improve the optimization of your control pulses.

Noise reconstruction with convex optimization:
Improve noise reconstruction of power spectral densities using convex optimization. Results are more accurate and guaranteed to be strictly positive. For more info visit: https://docs.q-ctrl.com/boulder-opal/user-guides/noise-characterization-and-reconstruction
Quasi-static scan for more than two noise components:
You can now scan more than two terms of the noise Hamiltonian with the quasi-static scan function. You can use this to generate a sequence of two-dimensional graphs in the same run. For more info visit: https://docs.q-ctrl.com/references/python/qctrl/_autosummary/functions/methods/qctrl.dynamic.namespaces.FunctionNamespace.calculate_quasi_static_scan.html#
Gaussian kernel for linear filters:
BOULDER OPAL allows you to smoothen your control signal by applying a linear filter that eliminates components above a certain frequency. Now you can also define the kernel of this filter as a Gaussian function, allowing a gradual suppression of high-frequency components, in addition to the hard cut-off that was already available. For more info visit: https://docs.q-ctrl.com/references/python/qctrl/_autosummary/operations/methods/qctrl.dynamic.namespaces.OperationNamespace.gaussian_integral_function.html
More arithmetic operations in optimizer:
Add sqrt(), sin(), exp() etc. functions to the construction of graphs for simulation or optimizations. This significantly expands the types of systems that can be modelled.

Copy button in user guides and application notes:
Each code cell in the user guides and application notes now has a copy button, to make it easier to copy code into your own projects
