Install

Installing via conda

scqubits can be installed via conda by executing

conda install -c conda-forge scqubits

Upgrading to the latest version of scqubits can be done by

conda update -c conda-forge scqubits

Installing via pip

scqubits can be installed using the Python package manager pip (Note: when working inside a conda environment, pip installs can lead to environment inconsistencies and should be avoided.)

pip install scqubits

To upgrade to the latest version of scqubits one can execute

pip install scqubits -U

ARM64 Compatibility

On Apple Silicon (M1/M2, arm64) machines, scqubits caps SciPy at <= 1.13.1 (pip enforces this automatically when installing on macOS). Alternatively, you can create a conda environment for x86 architecture, where this cap does not apply.
