scqubits.core.circuit_input.convert_value_to_GHz(val, units)[source]#

Converts a given value and units to energy in GHz. The units are given in a string in the format “pU” where p is an optional multiplier prefix and U is units. For example: “pH”, “nA”, “fF”, “eV”

Parameters:

  • val (float) – value in given units

  • units (str) – units described in a string with an optional multiplier prefix

Raises:

ValueError – If the unit is unknown.

Returns:

Energy in GHz

Return type:

float
