Learn¶
The tutorial course, in four parts. Each part lists its notebooks in the order to read them. New here? Start with the Quick start page, then Part 1, or pick a goal on Choose your path.
Featured: package modes and qubit couplings¶
Six notebooks follow R. Molavi et al., arXiv:2609.22442: the couplings of a 10 × 10 transmon array
to the modes of its metal package. They go from an analytic estimate (4.41) to
a full-wave model of the whole package (4.45); 4.46 then looks inside that
model term by term. They use gmsh and a scikit-fem Maxwell solver in place of HFSS (pip install "quantum-metal[skfem]").
The notebooks are listed on the Research showcase: published devices and results, reproduced page.
The four parts¶
Place a component, build a four-qubit chip, save it, iterate on it. (5 notebooks)
QComponents, routing, a full chip, and your own QComponent. (16 notebooks)
Export to GDS, mesh with gmsh, render to Ansys, write a renderer. (5 notebooks)
Open-source and Ansys simulation, then circuits to Hamiltonians. (26 notebooks)
Also: Examples (components and reference designs to copy) and Research showcase: published devices and results, reproduced (published devices and results).

External Workshops¶
Independently-maintained workshop materials that exercise Quantum Metal end-to-end (layout → simulation → analysis) using open-source EM solvers via SQDMetal.
QDW 2025 — tutorials_quantum_device_design (historical, Metal pre-v0.5) — 4 notebooks covering layout, transmon+resonator, qubit-qubit coupling, and an end-to-end project, simulated with Palace via SQDMetal.
QDW 2026 — qdw26-workshop-materials (active, near-mainline Metal) — Dockerized re-tooling of the same 4-notebook progression. Shared
uvenvironment, JupyterLab + VS Code attach paths, Brev / cloud-instance support.
