 Some of the key features of Qibolab are:
 
 - Deploy Qibo models on quantum hardware easily.
-- Create custom experimental drivers for custom lab setup.
+- Create experimental drivers for custom lab setup.
 - Support multiple heterogeneous platforms.
-- Use existing calibration procedures for experimentalists.
