kqcircuits.qubits.qubit

class kqcircuits.qubits.qubit.Qubit

Bases: kqcircuits.elements.element.Element

Base class for qubit objects without actual produce function.

Collection of shared sub routines for shared parameters and producing shared aspects of qubit geometry including

• possible fluxlines

• e-beam layers for SQUIDs

• SQUID name parameter

LIBRARY_NAME = 'Qubit Library'

LIBRARY_DESCRIPTION = 'Library for qubits.'

LIBRARY_PATH = 'qubits'

coerce_parameters_impl()

default implementation

produce_squid(transf, only_arms=False, **parameters)

Produces the squid.

Creates the squid cell and inserts it with the given transformation as a subcell. Also inserts the squid parts in “base_metal_gap_wo_grid”-layer to “base_metal_gap_for_EBL”-layer. It also returns a right_side refpoint, calculated from base_metal_gap_wo_grid layer’s bounding box to help with arm_length calculation in JunctionTestPads.

Parameters

• transf (DCplxTrans) – squid transformation

• parameters – other parameters for the squid

• only_arms – Boolean argument that allows to choose whether to create the arms and the squid device or only the arms

Returns

Relative refpoints for the squid

Return type

(dict)

produce_fluxline(rot=0, trans=0, 0, **parameters)

Produces the fluxline.

Creates the fluxline cell and inserts it as a subcell. The “flux” and “flux_corner” ports are made available for the qubit. By default, fluxlines align their “origin_fluxline” refpoint to “origin_squid” refpoint in the direction of “port_common”. However, the user might tweak the alignment direction by using the argument rot and the relative position by an extra pya.DVector(x, y) allowing to tune the position to achieve the desired design parameters.

Parameters

• rot – Extra rotation of the fluxline, in degrees

• trans (DVector) – fluxline x/y translation

• parameters – parameters for the fluxline to overwrite default and subclass parameters
