EDA-Q: Electronic Design Automation for Superconducting Quantum Chip
Current EDA tools for quantum chips suffer from incomplete coverage, low automation, poor process integration, and limited scalability. To address these challenges, this project proposes a full-stack EDA framework tailored for superconducting quantum chips. It introduces a novel, extensible architecture supporting bidirectional device–process mapping—unprecedented in prior work—and integrates parametric modeling, automated placement and routing, process-design-rule-driven mapping, and an interactive scripting engine. The framework accommodates diverse quantum devices and provides dual interfaces—command-line and script-based—to significantly lower the usability barrier. Experimental evaluation demonstrates over 40% reduction in design cycle time, automation exceeding 90%, and 100% functional correctness in tape-out validation. The framework has already enabled the development of multiple superconducting quantum processor prototypes.
