Installation ⚙️

To install HybridSuperQubits, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended)

Creating a virtual environment prevents conflicts between dependencies:

python3 -m venv hsq_env
source hsq_env/bin/activate  # macOS/Linux
hsq_env\Scripts\activate   # Windows

Step 2: Install SciPy (Before Installing HybridSuperQubits)

Since scipy can have installation issues, install it first:

pip install scipy

For macOS M1/M2/M3, if you face issues, install OpenBLAS first:

brew install openblas
pip install scipy

Step 3: Install HybridSuperQubits

Once SciPy is installed, you can install HybridSuperQubits:

pip install hybridsuperqubits

Basic Usage 🚀

Supported Qubit Types

1. Andreev Pair Qubit (Andreev): Semiconductor nanowire-based protected qubit

2. Gatemon (Gatemon) Gate-tunable transmon-like qubit

3. Gatemonium (Gatemonium) Strongly charge-sensitive gatemon variant

4. Fermionic-Bosonic Qubit (Ferbo) Hybrid light-matter qubit (shown in example below)

Initialize a hybrid qubit

from HybridSuperQubits import Andreev, Gatemon, Gatemonium, Ferbo

# Fermionic-Bosonic Qubit (Ferbo)
qubit = Ferbo(
    Ec=1.2,          # Charging energy [GHz]
    El=0.8,          # Inductive energy [GHz]
    Gamma=5.0,       # Coupling strength [GHz]
    delta_Gamma=0.1, # Asymmetric coupling [GHz]
    er=0.05,         # Fermi detuning [GHz]
    phase=0.3,       # External phase (2 pi Φ/Φ₀)
    dimension=100    # Hilbert space dimension
)

# Andreev Pair Qubit
andreev_qubit = Andreev(
    EJ=15.0,        # Josephson energy [GHz]
    EC=0.5,         # Charging energy [GHz]
    delta=0.1,      # Superconducting gap [GHz]
    ng=0.0,         # Charge offset
    dimension=50
)

# Gatemonium
gatemonium = Gatemonium(
    EJ=10.0,        # Josephson energy [GHz]
    EC=1.2,         # Charging energy [GHz]
    ng=0.0,         # Charge offset
    dimension=100
)
