Sample Generic Superconducting Quantum RF PDK

---

A generic process design kit (PDK) for superconducting quantum RF applications based on gdsfactory.

Examples

• PDK cells in the documentation: showcases available geometries.
• qpdk/samples/: contains example layouts and simulations.
• notebooks/: contains notebooks demonstrating design and simulation workflows.

Installation

We recommend using uv for package management.

Installation for Users

Install the package with:

uv pip install qpdk

Note

After installation, restart KLayout to ensure the new technology appears.

Optional dependencies for the models and simulation tools can be installed with:

uv pip install qpdk[models]

Installation for Contributors

Clone the repository and install at least the development dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/gdsfactory/quantum-rf-pdk.git
cd quantum-rf-pdk
uv sync --extra dev

Note

Git LFS must be installed to run all tests locally. Some test data files (e.g., CSV files in tests/models/data/) are tracked with Git LFS and will not be properly downloaded without it.
