Fedon Man worked extensively on the qilimanjaro-tech/qililab repository, delivering architectural improvements and robust features for quantum experiment workflows. He overhauled the quantum circuit compilation stack, introducing a native transpiler and compiler while removing legacy dependencies, and unified the IQ waveform hierarchy for better serialization and hardware mapping. Fedon implemented flexible I/Q offset handling in QProgram, streamlined configuration management with Pydantic, and modularized optional integrations for leaner installs. His work leveraged Python, YAML, and Pydantic, emphasizing code refactoring, dependency management, and test-driven development. These contributions improved maintainability, configurability, and reliability across quantum software and experiment execution pipelines.
In January 2026, delivered a major architectural overhaul of the quantum circuit compilation stack for qililab, plus a flexible I/Q offset feature in QProgram. The overhaul removes legacy dependencies (Qibo) and introduces a native CircuitTranspiler and CircuitToQProgramCompiler, reorganizing the digital/pulse layers and standardizing IQ waveform handling. The IQ waveform hierarchy was unified under a new IQWaveform base class, with IQPair adapted and DRAG replaced by IQDrag; the Drag gate was renamed to Rmw. A set of transpilation passes (CancelIdentityPairsPass, CircuitToCanonicalBasisPass, FuseSingleQubitGatesPass, CustomLayoutPass, SabreLayoutPass, SabreSwapPass, CanonicalBasisToNativeSetPass, AddPhasesToDragsFromRZAndCZPass) now drive circuit decomposition and optimization. In parallel, Flexible I/Q offset types in QProgram were added to allow mixing constants and variables for I and Q offsets, enabling more flexible experimental configurations. This work was delivered with a breaking changes plan and enables downstream portability, serialization robustness, and better hardware mapping.

October 2025 highlights feature delivery and modularization for Quantum Machines (QM) integration. Implemented an optional import mechanism to switch between full concrete implementations and lightweight stubs based on environment and installed dependencies. Reorganized all QM-related components under the extra/quantum-machines module hierarchy for better modularity and maintainability. QM integration moved to project.optional-dependencies to reflect its optional nature, enabling lean installs by default and opt-in usage when needed. The change is documented with usage examples and aligns with our strategy to decouple optional integrations.

Month: 2025-01 - Summary for qilimanjaro-tech/qililab. This period focused on delivering a robust default optimization for square waveforms in the Qililab compiler, improving usability and performance while reducing configuration complexity. The change standardizes optimization behavior by auto-applying when square waveforms are detected and meet specified duration criteria, removing the need for an explicit optimization flag. This supports faster experiments and more reliable results for Qblox workflows. No major bugs were reported; CI and validation checks confirmed robustness. Key related work includes applying the default optimization (commit 24b13da72750a041c81988b93070dc7ff10513bb) in the repository.
