box_plus_buffer (bool, optional) – Whether or not to use a box plus buffer. Defaults to True.

render_component(component)#

Abstract method. Must be implemented by the subclass. Render the specified component.

Parameters:: component (QComponent) – Component to render.

render_components(table_type: str, layer_num: int, port_list: list | None, jj_to_port: list | None, ignored_jjs: list | None)#

Render components by breaking them down into individual elements. Render all components of the design. If selection is none, then render all components.

Parameters:: table_type (str) – Table type (poly, path, or junction).

This render_design will add additional logic for just drivenmodal design within project.

Initiate rendering of components in design contained in selection, assuming they’re valid. Components are rendered before the chips they reside on, and subtraction of negative shapes is performed at the very end.

First obtain a list of IDs of components to render and a corresponding case, denoted by self.qcomp_ids and self.case, respectively. If self.case == 1, all components in QDesign are to be rendered. If self.case == 0, a strict subset of components in QDesign are to be rendered. Otherwise, if self.case == 2, one or more component names in selection cannot be found in QDesign.

Chip_subtract_dict consists of component names (keys) and a set of all elements within each component that will eventually be subtracted from the ground plane. Add objects that are perfect conductors and/or have meshing to self.assign_perfE and self.assign_mesh, respectively; both are initialized as empty lists. Note that these objects are “refreshed” each time render_design is called (as opposed to in the init function) to clear QAnsysRenderer of any leftover items from the last call to render_design.

Among the components selected for export, there may or may not be unused (unconnected) pins. The second parameter, open_pins, contains tuples of the form (component_name, pin_name) that specify exactly which pins should be open rather than shorted during the simulation. Both the component and pin name must be specified because the latter could be shared by multiple components. All pins in this list are rendered with an additional endcap in the form of a rectangular cutout, to be subtracted from its respective plane.

In driven modal solutions, the Ansys design must include one or more ports. This is done by adding all port designations and their respective impedances in Ohms as (qcomp, pin, impedance) to port_list. Note that an open endcap must separate the two sides of each pin before inserting a lumped port in between, so behind the scenes all pins in port_list are also added to open_pins. Practically, however, port_list and open_pins are inputted as mutually exclusive lists.

Also in driven modal solutions, one may want to render junctions as lumped ports and/or inductors, or omit them altogether. To do so, tuples of the form (component_name, element_name, impedance) are added to the list jj_to_port. For example, (‘Q1’, ‘rect_jj’, 70) indicates that rect_jj of component Q1 is to be rendered as both a lumped port with an impedance of 70 Ohms.

Alternatively for driven modal solutions, one may want to disregard select junctions in the Metal design altogether to simulate the capacitive effect while keeping the qubit in an “off” state. Such junctions are specified in the form (component_name, element_name) in the list ignored_jjs.

The final parameter, box_plus_buffer, determines how the chip is drawn. When set to True, it takes the minimum rectangular bounding box of all rendered components and adds a buffer of x_buffer_width_mm and y_buffer_width_mm horizontally and vertically, respectively, to the chip size. The center of the chip lies at the midpoint x/y coordinates of the minimum rectangular bounding box and may change depending on which components are rendered and how they’re positioned. If box_plus_buffer is False, however, the chip position and dimensions are taken from the chip info dictionary found in self.design, irrespective of what’s being rendered. While this latter option is faster because it doesn’t require calculating a bounding box, it runs the risk of rendered components being too close to the edge of the chip or even falling outside its boundaries.

Parameters:

selection (Union[list, None], optional) – List of components to render. Defaults to None.
open_pins (Union[list, None], optional) – List of tuples of pins that are open. Defaults to None.
box_plus_buffer (bool, optional) – Either calculate a bounding box based on the location of rendered geometries or use chip size from design class.

name (str) – Name of variable.
value (str) – Amount and unit associated w/ variable.

should_render_junction(qgeom: Series, port_list: list | None, jj_to_port: list | None, ignored_jjs: list | None) → bool[source]#

Logic just for driven modal.

Parameters:

qgeom (pd.Series) – When rendering the rows of the junction table, confirm that the component and geometry element is supposed to be rendered.
port_list (Union[list, None]) – Use definition from render_design.
jj_to_port (Union[list, None]) – Use definition from render_design.
ignored_jjs (Union[list, None]) – Use definition from render_design.

Returns:

If the element in the row of junction table should be rendered.

Return type:

bool

start(force=False)#

Call any initialization (single run) step required to setup the renderer for the first execution, such as connecting to some API or COM, or importing the correct material libraries, etc.

Parameters:: force (bool) – If True, need to scrap the existing initialization and re-do If False, will start a new one only if none exists. Defaults to False.
Returns:: is the renderer initialized successfully (thus usable?)
Return type:: bool

stop()#: Any calls that one may want to make after a rendering is complete.

subtract_from_ground(layer_num: int, data_type: int = 0)#

For each chip, subtract all “negative” shapes residing on its surface if any such shapes exist. Data is stored by layer, but we always assume each layer to be unique

Need to use a rectangular for each layer, which has fill, has been made as part of create_fill_true_box.

update_options(render_options: Dict | None = None, render_template: Dict | None = None)#

If template options has not been set for this renderer, then gather all the default options for children and add to design. The GUI would use this to store the template options.

Then give the template options to render to store in self.options. Then user can over-ride the render_options.

Parameters:

render_options (Dict, optional) – If user wants to over-ride the template options. Defaults to None.
render_template (Dict, optional) – All the template options for each child. Defaults to None.

valid_input_arguments(open_pins: list | None, port_list: list | None, jj_to_port: list | None, ignored_jjs: list | None)#

The arguments should be valid names in design. Also (component, pin) pairs can not be repeated within the four arguments.

Parameters:

open_pins (Union[list, None]) – _description_
port_list (Union[list, None]) – _description_
jj_to_port (Union[list, None]) – _description_
ignored_jjs (Union[list, None]) – _description_

Returns:

_description_

Return type:

_type_
