About KQCircuits
KQCircuits is a Python library developed by the Aalto University and IQM Quantum Computers for automating the design of superconducting quantum circuits. It uses the KLayout layout design program API.
KQCircuits generates multi-layer 2-dimensional geometry representing common structures in quantum processing units (QPU). KQCircuits includes definitions of parametrized geometrical objects or “elements” and a framework to easily define your own elements. KQCircuits allows the user to get geometry from the elements under different sets of parameters and to assemble a full QPU design by combining many of the elements in different geometrical relations. The QPU designs used to create an optical mask layout are then combined with EBL patterns used for fabrication of quantum circuits. The final design is exported as a set of files fora mask as needed for QPU fabrication.
