Description

What's the problem this feature will solve?

Currently, there exist three different Hardware Classes:

  1. Superconducting: Architecure.hpp
  2. Zoned Neutral Atom: ZonedNaArchitecure by @ystade
  3. Hybrid Neutral Atom by @lsschmid

It should be possible to unify at least the two Neutral Atom Architecures and maybe even all three of them.

One might event keep the possibility of adding Trapped Ion based Hardware later on!

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe abstract base class and then derived classes for each hardware platform?

Research direction

Start by comparing include/Architecture.hpp with include/na/Architecture.hpp and locating the hybrid neutral-atom architecture implementation. Document the shared and platform-specific responsibilities before proposing an abstraction. Done means the neutral-atom classes, and possibly superconducting hardware, use a coherent architecture model without blocking future trapped-ion support.
