Learn about three recent features of Superconducting Qubit Tools

30-09-2025

Superconducting Qubit Tools (SCQT) is a library of quantum chip test protocols for quantum R&D labs. Have a look at the new features below and request a free trial!

 

Our Superconducting Qubit Tools (SCQT) library of protocols (the word we use for experiments) is part of the OrangeQS FLEX product line. This product line contains all the building blocks you need as an R&D lab developing quantum chips.

In addition to having all common transmon qubit experiments, SCQT users seem to enjoy most of all the reporting modules and analysis tools, as well the documentation and extensive tutorials. These make the day-to-day work in their lab less frustrating and allows for faster workflows. It also helps that all APIs are physics-based and invented and developed by experts in the field. One of the first key features was a pulse-level simulator, especially useful for newly implemented protocols. Another example is integrated graph-based automation (GRACE) for the execution of protocols.

SCQT is built on top of the open-source Quantify framework, allowing you to build your own advanced routines and run them together with SCQT’s functionality.

Below, we highlight three features, recently released to users and developed directly for customers or in projects together with academic partners.

 

Characterization of systems with qubits and tunable couplers

We’ve extended our tunable coupler toolbox, like with the experiment above, so you can more easily extract key figures of merit like coupling strengths, sweetspot frequencies, and initial flux bias positions, based on qubit spectroscopy.

 

Real-time predistortions on the Qblox backend

We now support out-of-the-box calibration of the real-time predistortion filters on all quantify backends that support this feature, improving two-qubit gate fidelity by correcting for long-term flux pulse distortions.

 

Qubit-coupler DC flux crosstalk corrections

Measure and correct for DC flux crosstalk to and from all flux-tunable elements on your QPU – including qubits and tunable couplers – to ensure that you can move apply the correct flux bias to all elements in your device.

 

Other OrangeQS FLEX building blocks

In addition to SCQT, other libraries for testing solid state quantum devices are available in the OrangeQS FLEX product line, like TWPA Tools. Within collaborative projects, we have also started the development of Spin Qubit Tools.

All libraries are usually delivered on a Juice Box, our rack-mounted lab PC running our new operating system, OrangeQS Juice. To complete the setup for qubit testing, quantum R&D labs often prefer the software and Juice Box to be delivered as part of an OrangeQS Rack, together with all necessary control electronics or as a full-stack OrangeQS FLEX system, including a cryogenic environment and cabling. We don’t just develop our products using real qubits, testing on a quantum chip is a standard part of our Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT).

If you would like to know more about SCQT or any of the other FLEX building blocks, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our commercial team through sales@orangeqs.com – or meet our team at one of the many quantum conferences.
