Description
We present two software tools developed at the NQCC to streamline common tasks in trapped‑ion research and reduce duplicated effort across the community. The first, IonVision, is an open‑source framework for generating both energy‑level diagrams and pulse‑sequence diagrams from concise and easily configurable JSON specifications. IonVision is designed as a structured alternative to general‑purpose drawing software such as Inkscape or PowerPoint, providing a reproducible and scriptable workflow for producing clear, publication‑ready visualisations.
The second tool, ARTIQEase, aims to simplify the development and reuse of ARTIQ‑based experiments. It provides a collection of wrapper classes that abstract recurring patterns in ARTIQ code, reducing the recreation of boilerplate code and lowering the barrier for both new and experienced users to make progress with ARTIQ.
Although IonVision and ARTIQEase address different aspects of experimental work, both tools reflect a shared goal: to provide robust, reusable resources that support efficient development, clearer communication, and greater collaboration within the trapped‑ion community.
