Getting Started¶
After Install of scqubits, check out the User Guide, as well as the Jupyter Examples.
We are also building up a set of YouTube Tutorials.
Overview¶
The package provides convenient ways to obtain energy spectra of common superconducting qubits, to plot their energy levels as a function of external parameters, to calculate matrix elements and predict coherence times etc. scqubits further offers an interface to QuTiP, making it easy to work with composite Hilbert spaces consisting of multiple coupled superconducting qubits and harmonic modes.
scqubits performs numerics utilizing Numpy and Scipy; plotting capabilities rely on Matplotlib.
