Open-source database of programmatically generated and experimentally validated superconducting quantum device designs, accessible through a user-friendly interface.
Project description
Superconducting Qubit And Device Design and Simulation Database

:warning: This project is an alpha release and currently under active development. Some features and documentation may be incomplete. Please update to the latest release.
The SQuADDS (Superconducting Qubit And Device Design and Simulation) Database Project is an open-source resource aimed at advancing research in superconducting quantum device designs. It provides a robust workflow for generating and simulating superconducting quantum device designs, facilitating the accurate prediction of Hamiltonian parameters across a wide range of design geometries.

Installation
SQuADDS uses uv for fast, reliable Python package management.
Prerequisites
Install uv (if you don't have it already):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Install from Source (Recommended for Development)
git clone https://github.com/LFL-Lab/SQuADDS.git
cd SQuADDS
uv sync
Verify the installation:
uv run python -c "import squadds; print(squadds.__file__)"
Install using pip
pip install SQuADDS
Optional Dependencies
Install GDS processing tools:
uv sync --extra gds
Install documentation tools:
uv sync --extra docs
Install development tools:
uv sync --extra dev
Install contribution tools (for contributing data to SQuADDS):
uv sync --extra contrib
Install all optional dependencies:
uv sync --all-extras
Setting up Jupyter Notebook
To use SQuADDS in Jupyter notebooks (including VS Code/Cursor), register the kernel:
uv sync --extra dev # Installs ipykernel
uv run python -m ipykernel install --user --name squadds --display-name "SQuADDS (uv)"
Then select "SQuADDS (uv)" as your kernel in Jupyter/VS Code/Cursor.
Run using Docker:
Click to expand/hide Docker instructions
We provide a pre-built Docker image that contains all dependencies, including Qiskit-Metal and the latest SQuADDS release.
Pull the Latest Docker Image
You can pull the latest image of SQuADDS from GitHub Packages:
docker pull ghcr.io/lfl-lab/squadds_env:latest
If you'd like to pull a specific version (support begins from v0.3.4 onwards), use the following command:
docker pull ghcr.io/lfl-lab/squadds_env:v0.3.4
You can find all available versions and tags for the squadds_env Docker image on LFL-Lab Packages.
Run the Docker Container
After pulling the image, you can run the container using:
docker run -it ghcr.io/lfl-lab/squadds_env:latest /bin/bash
This will give you access to a bash shell inside the container.
Activate the Conda Environment
Inside the container, activate the squadds-env environment:
conda activate squadds-env
Run SQuADDS
Once the environment is active, you can run SQuADDS by executing your Python scripts or starting an interactive Python session.
