description: # Data accompanying the paper"Demonstration of a Quantum Switch in a Sagnac Configuration" (arXiv:2211.12540v1). "datastore_H.h5" and "datastore_P.h5" contain python/pandas dataframes holding coincidences counts aquired during the measurement. "tomos.h5" cointains a python/pandas datafraframe holding the polarization tomography measurements on the individual polarization gadgets. "read.py" gives an example of how to open the files. The DataFrames "datastore_H.h5" and "datastore_P.h5" contain the following columns: - **i, j**: indices of the implemented unitaries, as defined in the paper.<br> - **run**: index of repetition of the whole measurement.<br> - **cc_h_com**: integrated coincidences aquired in the H-port of the polarization tomography stage put after the commutator output port of the sagnac interferometer.<br> - **cc_v_com**: integrated coincidences aquired in the V-port of the polarization tomography stage put after the commutator output port of the sagnac interferometer.<br> - **cc_h_acom**: integrated coincidences aquired in the H-port of the polarization tomography stage put after the anticommutator output port of the sagnac interferometer.<br> - **cc_v_acom**: integrated coincidences aquired in the V-port of the polarization tomography stage put after the anticommutator output port of the sagnac interferometer.<br> - **cc_h_com_dark**: integrated dark coincidences aquired in this port.<br> - **cc_v_com_dark**: integrated dark coincidences aquired in this port.<br> - **cc_h_acom_dark**: integrated dark coincidences aquired in this port.<br> - **cc_v_acom_dark**: integrated dark coincidences aquired in this port.<br> - **triggers_com**: integrated number of trigger events leading to coincidences in the commutator port.<br> - **triggers_acom**: integrated number of trigger events leading to coincidences in the anticommutator port.
