Branch¶

class scqubits.core.symbolic_circuit_graph.Branch(n_i, n_f, branch_type, parameters, index=None, aux_params={})[source]¶

Class describing a circuit branch, used in the Circuit class.

Parameters:

n_i (Node) – initial Node of the branch
n_f (Node) – final Node of the branch
branch_type (str) – is the type of this Branch, example “C”, “JJ” or “L”
parameters (List[Union[float, Symbol, int]]) – list of parameters for the branch, namely for capacitance: [EC]; for inductance: [10]; for Josephson Junction: [EJ, 1]
aux_params (Dict[Symbol, float]) – Dictionary of auxiliary parameters which map a symbol from the input file a numeric parameter.
index (int | None)

Examples

Branch(“C”, Node(1, 0), Node(2, 0)) is a capacitive branch connecting the nodes with indices 0 and 1.

Methods

`Branch.__init__`(n_i, n_f, branch_type, ...)
`Branch.common_node`(branch)	Returns the common nodes between self and the branch given as input.
`Branch.is_connected`(branch)	Returns a boolean indicating whether the current branch is connected to the given branch
`Branch.node_ids`()	Returns the indices of the nodes connected by the branch.

common_node(branch)[source]¶

Returns the common nodes between self and the branch given as input.

is_connected(branch)[source]¶

Returns a boolean indicating whether the current branch is connected to the given branch

Returns the indices of the nodes connected by the branch.
