+Qcodes is a Python-based data acquisition framework developed by the Copenhagen / Delft / Sydney / Microsoft quantum computing consortium.
+
+The goal is a common framework for physics experiments, so:
+- new students don’t need to spend a long time learning software in order to participate in experiments
+- one has to write their own code only for pieces that are very specific to their own experiment
+- code can and should be contributed back to the framework
+- the process of moving between teams or labs, and of setting up a new experiment is streamlined
+- physics experiments can take advantage of modern software and best practices
