A physical design tool for superconducting quantum chips developed as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT). It currently supports automated port assignment and routing under special technology constraints of superconducting quantum technologies.
Note
MQT SCPD is still under development. This section will be expanded in the future.
If you have any questions, feel free to create a discussion or an issue on GitHub.
The Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT) is developed by the Chair for Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich and supported by the Munich Quantum Software Company (MQSC). Among others, it is part of the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS) ecosystem, which is being developed as part of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) initiative.
Thank you to all the contributors who have helped make MQT SCPD a reality!
The MQT will remain free, open-source, and permissively licensed—now and in the future. We are firmly committed to keeping it open and actively maintained for the quantum computing community.
To support this endeavor, please consider:
- Starring and sharing our repositories: https://github.com/munich-quantum-toolkit
- Contributing code, documentation, tests, or examples via issues and pull requests
- Citing the MQT in your publications (see Cite This)
- Citing our research in your publications (see References)
- Using the MQT in research and teaching, and sharing feedback and use cases
- Sponsoring us on GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/munich-quantum-toolkit
MQT SCPD is available via PyPI.
uv pip install mqt.scpdNote
MQT SCPD is still under development. This section will be expanded in the future.
Detailed documentation and examples are available at ReadTheDocs.
Building the project requires a C++ compiler with support for C++20 and CMake 3.24 or newer. For details on how to build the project, please refer to the documentation. Building (and running) is continuously tested under Linux, macOS, and Windows using the latest available system versions for GitHub Actions. MQT SCPD is compatible with all officially supported Python versions.
Please cite the work that best fits your use case.
