Python workflow

The main way of working in KQCircuits is to define elements and chips as python code. This gets the most out of KQCircuits features, creating maintainable and parametrized designs.

In this section, we introduce the code-based workflow and structure of KQCircuits step by step.

Note

In the getting started documentation, we show code that can be used in the build function of elements and chips. Most of the same features can also be used in Simulation classes (see Simulation objects) to define electromagnetic field simulations, and in KLayout macros or standalone python scripts to generate geometry independent of chips (see Macro and script development)
