TransmonCross¶

class TransmonCross(design, name: str | None = None, options: Dict | None = None, options_connection_pads: dict | None = None, make: bool = True, **kwargs)[source]¶

The base TransmonCross class.

Inherits BaseQubit class.

Simple Metal Transmon Cross object. Creates the X cross-shaped island, the “junction” on the south end, and up to 3 connectors on the remaining arms (claw or gap).

‘claw_width’ and ‘claw_gap’ define the width/gap of the CPW line that makes up the connector. Note, DC SQUID currently represented by single inductance sheet

Add connectors to it using the connection_pads dictionary. See BaseQubit for more information.

make_pocket()[source]¶: Makes a basic Crossmon, 4 arm cross.

parse_options(options: Dict | None = None) → Dict¶

Parse the options, converting string into interpreted values. Parses units, variables, strings, lists, and dictionaries. Explained by example below.

Parameters:: options (dict) – If left None, then self.options is used. Defaults to None.
Returns:: Parsed value
Return type:: dict

Calls self.design.parse_options.

See self.parse_value for more information.

Parameters:

value (str) – String to parse or
variable_dict (dict) – dict pointer of variables

Returns:

Parse value

Return type:

str, float, list, tuple, or ast eval

Handled Inputs:

Strings:

Strings of numbers, numbers with units; e.g., ‘1’, ‘1nm’, ‘1 um’: Converts to int or float. Some basic arithmetic is possible, see below.
Strings of variables ‘variable1’.: Variable interpretation will use string method isidentifier ‘variable1’.isidentifier()`

Dictionaries:

Returns ordered Dict with same key-value mappings, where the values have been subjected to parse_value.

Itterables(list, tuple, …):

Returns same kind and calls itself parse_value on each element.

Numbers:

Returns the number as is. Int to int, etc.

Arithemetic:

Some basic arithmetic can be handled as well, such as ‘-2 * 1e5 nm’ will yield float(-0.2) when the default units are set to mm.

Default units:

User units can be set in the design. The design will set config.DEFAULT.units

rebuild()¶

Builds the QComponent.

This is the main action function of a QComponent, call it qc. It converts the qc.options into QGeometry with all of the required options, such as the geometry points, layer number, materials, etc. needed to render.

The build clears the existing QGeometry and QPins and then calls the qc.make function, which is written by the component developer to implement the logic (using the metal. draw module) to convert the qc.options into the QGeometry.

Build status: The function also sets the build status of the component. It sets to failed when the component is created, and then it sets to good when it is done with no errors. The user can also set other statuses, which can appear if the code fails to reach the final line of the build, where the build status is set to good.

Raises:: Exception – Component build failure

to_script(thin: bool = False, is_part_of_chip: bool = False) → Tuple¶

Parameters:

thin – If true then any key in the QComponent’s options whose value is the same value as the default will not be included in the body
is_part_of_chip – If true, body will not include header code

Returns: Code that if copy-pasted into a .py file would generate an instance of this class with the same properties as the instance calling this function
