…and Pulser, too. Why not?

This is a companion article to Russ Fein’s article “Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms.” This article is the fourth in a series of articles reviewing the hands-on usage of publicly-available neutral atom products.

PASQAL has two environments that I am aware of. There is Pulser, which is a traditional, Jupyter notebook-based environment, and then there is Pulser Studio, the no-code environment shown above. They are different enough that I could probably separate their reviews into two articles, but then they would be two rather-short articles. Instead, I’m combining them into one decent-length article. I hope that meets your approval.

Anyway, here’s The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, of both Pulser and Pulser Studio, consolidated for your convenience.

The Good

Warm and fuzzy. If you like your Jupyter notebooks and coding in Python, I’ve got great news for you: you don’t have to give up either. But, as you’ll read in a moment, you can give up both if you’d like to do that, too.
