Analyzing and tuning a resonator#
We will use here the advanced EPR method to run the simulation and analysi, which directly controls renderers and external packages. Please refer to the tutorial notebook 4.2 to follow the suggested flow to run the analysis.
Resonator design#
Prepare the single transmon qubit layout in qiskit-metal.
Resonator analysis using EPR method#
Set-up and run a finite element simulate to extract the eigenmode.
Display EM fields to inspect quality of the setup.
Calculate EPR of substrate.
Prerequisite#
You need to have a working local installation of Ansys. Also you will need the following directives and inports.

%autoreload 2
import qiskit_metal as metal
from qiskit_metal import designs, draw
from qiskit_metal import MetalGUI, Dict, Headings
import pyEPR as epr
1. Create the Resonator design#
Fix the design dimensions that you intend to reflect in the design rendering. Note that the design size extends from the origin into the first quadrant.
[2]:
design = designs.DesignPlanar({}, True)
design.chips.main.size['size_x'] = '2mm'
design.chips.main.size['size_y'] = '2mm'
gui = MetalGUI(design)
Create a readout resonator. Here, we define one end of the resonator as a short and the other end as an open.
[3]:
from qiskit_metal.qlibrary.tlines.meandered import RouteMeander
from qiskit_metal.qlibrary.terminations.open_to_ground import OpenToGround
from qiskit_metal.qlibrary.terminations.short_to_ground import ShortToGround
design.delete_all_components()
otg = OpenToGround(design, 'open_to_ground', options=dict(pos_x='1.25mm', pos_y='0um', orientation='0'))
stg = ShortToGround(design, 'short_to_ground', options=dict(pos_x='-1.25mm', pos_y='0um', orientation='180'))

pin_inputs=Dict(
start_pin=Dict(component='short_to_ground', pin='short'),
end_pin=Dict(component='open_to_ground', pin='open')), ))
gui.rebuild()
gui.autoscale()
2. Analyze the resonator using the Eigenmode-EPR method#
In this section we will use a semi-manual (advanced) analysis flow. Please refer to tutorial 4.2 for the suggested method. As illustrated, the methods are equivalent, but the advanced method allows you to directly override some renderer-specific settings.
Finite Element Eigenmode Analysis#
Select the analysis you intend to run from the qiskit_metal.analyses collection. Select the design to analyze and the tool to use for any external simulation.
[4]:
from qiskit_metal.analyses.quantization import EPRanalysis
eig_res = EPRanalysis(design, "hfss")
For the Eigenmode simulation portion, you can either: 1. Use the eig_res user-friendly methods (see tutorial 4.2) 2. Control directly the simulation tool from the tool’s GUI (outside metal - see specific vendor instructions) 3. Use the renderer methods In this section we show the advanced method (method 3).
The renderer can be reached from the analysis class. Let’s give it a shorter alias.
[5]:
hfss = eig_res.sim.renderer
Now we connect to the tool using the unified command.

Set the convergence parameters and junction properties in the Ansys design. Then run the analysis and plot the convergence.
[12]:
# Analysis properties

setup.analyze()
INFO 09:20AM [analyze]: Analyzing setup Setup

To plot the results you can use the plot_convergences() method from the eig_res.sim object. The method will read the data from the variables local to the eig_res.sim object, so we first need to assign the simulation results to these two variables. let’s do both (assignment and plotting) in the next cell.
Note: if hfss.get_convergences() raises a com_error, it is likely due to the simulation not converging. Try increasing the number of passess in the setup above or tweak other simulation or layout parameters.
[13]:

09:22AM 17s INFO [get_f_convergence]: Saved convergences to C:\workspace\qiskit-metal\docs\tut\4-Analysis\hfss_eig_f_convergence.csv
Next, we change the length of the resonator and see how the eigen frequency changes.
[14]:
rt_meander.options.total_length ='9 mm'
gui.rebuild()
gui.autoscale()
Need to render the updated design again. Let’s do that in a new design (“Readout_1”) to avoid conflicts. Alternatively you will need to delete all the shapes from the previous design to be able to re-draw in it.

From the above analyses we observe that for a total length of 6 mm for the resonator, the Eigen Frequency was close to 4.9 GHz. However, for a total length of 9 mm, this frequency is close to 3.3 GHz. Similar analysis can be performed by the user for matching a particular frequency of interest.

EPR Analysis#
In the suggested (tutorial 4.2) flow, we would now prepare the setup using eig_res.setup and run the analysis with eig_res.run_epr(). Notice that this method requires previous set of the eig_res variables convergence_t and convergence_f like we did a thee cells earlier.
However we here exemplify the advanced approach, which is Ansys-specific since it uses the pyEPR module methods directly. #### Execute the energy distribution analysis
First initialize epr for non-junction analysis. This will set the ground plain to ‘main’.

eig_res.epr_start(no_junctions=True)
Design "Readout_1" info:
# eigenmodes 1
# variations 1
