Here we present an overview of the language we have developed for the QuantumION platform. QuantumION is an open-access, remotely accessible trapped-ion quantum processor built at the Institute for Quantum Computing in Waterloo, Canada. Our language is designed to fully describe all operations that are required to realize a trapped-ion quantum computer, ranging from standard, hardware-agnostic quantum gates to fully customizable pulse sequences, as well as full control of auxiliary FPGA channels to control beam pointing, electrode voltages and more. This language is tightly integrated with our custom FPGA hardware setup, but the high-level concepts that went into our language design are applicable to a much broader range of hardware implementations and we hope that our ideas will inspire and contribute to discussions towards building more streamlined experimental control systems for various architectures of quantum computers.
