Keysight Technologies has launched Quantum Circuit Simulation (Quantum Ckt Sim), a novel design environment aimed at enhancing the development of complex quantum circuits. Developed in collaboration with Google Quantum AI, this solution integrates frequency-domain flux quantization into simulation tools, marking a significant advance in modeling superconducting quantum circuits. This innovation is expected to improve qubit readout fidelity and streamline the design of large, nonlinear circuits.

Quantum Circuit Simulation offers an extensive library of quantum devices, a robust design environment, and enhanced control features, enabling researchers to better manipulate quantum circuits. This new tool aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of quantum R&D workflows, benefiting applications in quantum computing.

The collaboration marks a significant advance in the modeling of superconducting quantum circuits, which can improve the performance and reliability of quantum systems. This innovation is detailed in the technical paper, “Modeling flux-quantizing Josephson junction circuits in Keysight ADS,” which explores the impact of flux quantization on circuit simulations.
