Amicode

Quantum optimal control, driven by conversation.

Describe the gate you want in plain language. Amicode designs the pulse, runs the solve, and shows you the result — without leaving your editor.

Amicode turns a natural-language description of a control problem into an LLM-authored Piccolo.jl (Julia) optimization, runs it, and streams the result back into native VS Code panels. The physics, the solver idioms, and your lab's accumulated knowledge ride along as context — so the script it writes is correct by construction, not by luck.

What you get

• Chat-driven pulse design — an in-editor copilot (Amico) that authors and runs the Julia optimization for the gate or state you describe.
• Live Run Inspector — watch the solve converge in a native panel: objective, constraints, and the resulting pulse.
• Managed Julia toolchain — first run offers to install Julia (via juliaup), pin the right version, and provision the Piccolo environment for you.
• A personal vault — your systems, pulses, and problems are remembered across sessions, stored locally under ~/.amico.

Requirements

• An LLM provider configured for the chat engine.
• Julia — Amicode manages the install on first run; nothing to set up by hand.

Run Amicode: Healthcheck from the Command Palette any time to verify your setup (Julia environment, chat server, and provider).
