+AutoDepGraph is a QCoDeS based framework for using dependency graphs to calibrate a system. It is heavily inspired by ["Physical qubit calibration on a directed acyclic graph"](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03226). 
 
 ## Overview
 AutoDepGraph consists of two main classes, the CalibrationNode and the Graph.

 ## Acknowledgements
-I would like to thank Julian Kelly for the idea of using a dependency graph for calibrations. I would like to thank Joe Weston for discussions and help in working out the initial design. I would like to acknowledge Livio Ciorciaro for disucssions and as a coauthor of this project.
