However, due to the small distance between quantum dots the potential of a quantum dot is also affected
by neighboring plunger and barrier gates. This is the capacitive cross-talk, or cross-capacitance, from a gate to
other quantum dots. This cross-capacitance is classical in nature and can be corrected by pulse_lib using
other quantum dots. This cross-capacitance is classical in nature and can be corrected by pulse-lib using
"virtual gates".
A virtual gate is a pulse_lib channel that outputs a pulse sequence on multiple AWG channels
A virtual gate is a pulse-lib channel that outputs a pulse sequence on multiple AWG channels
such that only a single chemical potential or single tunnel coupling will be affected by the pulses.
Virtual gates are defined by a virtual gate matrix.

The cross-capacitance matrix (real-to-virtual) can be passed to pulse-lib, but also the inverted
matrix (virtual-to-real) can be passed. The cross-capacitance matrix has to be a square matrix, because it
must be invertible. The virtual-to-real matrix doesn't have to be square.
