Controls AG is proud to distribute Keysight's QuantumPro, a revolutionary tool designed to streamline the design of superconducting qubits. This integrated workflow within the PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) 2024 platform addresses the traditional challenges of long development cycles and complex tool navigation in quantum computing.
QuantumPro combines five essential functions: schematic design, layout creation, electromagnetic (EM) analysis, nonlinear circuit simulation, and quantum parameter extraction — in a single platform. This integration simplifies the quantum design process, saving time and reducing costs.
Introducing QuantumPro
QuantumPro bridges the gap between quantum and microwave engineering by translating traditional microwave outputs into adjustable quantum parameters. This capability allows engineers to fine-tune their quantum circuits within the same platform, improving the efficiency and accuracy of quantum circuit design.
EDA Solutions for Superconducting Quantum Systems
Keysight's EDA tools enable quantum hardware engineers to streamline workflows and accelerate quantum chip development using cost-effective electromagnetic simulations. The advanced nonlinear circuit solver provides detailed analysis of the power-dependent performance of quantum chips, offering deeper insights into quantum hardware.
The new quantum layout components library in PathWave ADS 2023 Update 2.0 includes essential components such as transmons and CPW meanderline resonators. These components are represented as parameterized objects, making them easy to adjust and optimize within the ADS layout environment. The CPW components have built-in airbridges that prevent the propagation of the CPW common mode, enhancing the reliability of quantum chip designs.
Quantum Layout
Using the method of moments, the electromagnetic simulation approach focuses on currents on metal surfaces rather than the entire volume. This reduces computational costs and accelerates the design cycle for superconducting qubits, making the process more efficient and cost-effective.

The platform supports seamless tuning of qubits and resonators through co-simulation and parametric analysis, enabling precise adjustments and optimal performance of quantum circuits.
Quantum amplifiers play a critical role in improving readout fidelity in quantum systems. The harmonic balance solver in PathWave ADS manages the design and analysis of these amplifiers, assessing metrics such as gain profile, mixing products, and quantum efficiency. PathWave ADS also facilitates the examination of amplifier performance in cascaded configurations with other blocks like circulators, ensuring thorough analysis and optimization.
