Open-Source EDA Workflows for Scalable Quantum Computing Systems
DescriptionQuantum computing hardware — including superconducting qubits, photonic circuits, and hybrid systems — presents unique physical design challenges that require specialized EDA workflows spanning electromagnetic simulation, layout generation, physical verification, and foundry integration. This tutorial provides a hands-on introduction to designing quantum computing circuits using open-source EDA tools built on the GDSFactory framework. Attendees will learn end-to-end design workflows from schematic capture through physical verification (DRC and LVS) and foundry tapeout, with a focus on qubit RF design and quantum circuit layout. The tutorial covers parametric cell development in Python for quantum device geometries, integration with electromagnetic and circuit simulators for qubit characterization, physical verification flows adapted for quantum fabrication processes, and foundry PDK integration for practical tapeout readiness. Through interactive Jupyter notebooks and an open-source quantum PDK, participants will gain hands-on experience with the complete design flow — from device specification to fabrication-ready layout. The tutorial includes a basic introduction to quantum circuit design principles to ensure accessibility for attendees without a quantum computing background.
