  • Patent number: 10599805
    Abstract: Verifying a quantum circuit layout design is provided. A qubit layout is received as input. The qubit layout is generated from a qubit schematic. The qubit schematic includes a plurality of qubits, a plurality of coupling buses, a plurality of readout buses, and a plurality of readout ports. Design rules checking is performed on the qubit layout input, using a predefined set of design rule. The bus style/frequency and qubit information are extracted from the qubit layout input. A new qubit schematic is generated from the extracted bus style/frequency and qubit information. The qubit layout is verified based on the new qubit schematic being the same as the qubit schematic.
