An Integrated Workflow for the Seamless Design of Superconducting Qubits – QuantumPro

Qubits and quantum amplifiers are the cornerstones of quantum computing systems. As the demand for scaling to thousands of qubits grows, it becomes imperative to incorporate systematic engineering and design automation. In this talk, we introduce an elegant solution that consolidates five essential functionalities into a single platform for the very first time. These functionalities encompass schematic design, layout creation, electromagnetic (EM) analysis, nonlinear circuit simulation, and the extraction of quantum parameters. We highlight the specialized quantum artwork library, and the extraction of quantum parameters using both the black-box quantization and energy participation methods. Additionally, we demonstrate how the electromagnetic and circuit flows can be connected through co-simulation to analyze the power-dependent behavior of quantum chips. Lastly, we explore the potential for modeling the kinetic inductance of superconductors within the electromagnetic workflow, as well as the prospect of employing Python to automate the entire workflow.
