Currently, it is dependent o QGL relies on the concept of a "channel" to represent a qubit. The channel embodies the physical realization of the qubit in an experimental configuration or a simulation configuration. These characteristic can include physical qubit attributes, simulation or equipment mappings, and physical couplings between qubits. This configuration information is specified and maintained in an associated database, `bbndb `, which is necessary for compiling the QGL program into inputs for physically systems (such as realizable signals/pulses) or simulation inputs (native instruction set). -Auspex is an experiment control framework which greatly facilitates executing QPL programs on laboratory hardware.
