Inductance Matrix (L) ===================== Inductance outputs connect geometry, kinetic inductance, mutual inductance, and Josephson energy used in qubit Hamiltonian extraction. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - # - Parameter - Symbol / Unit - Extraction Method - Typical Q3D Value - Ideal / Optimal - Good Range - Worst Case - Why It Matters - Key Design Note * - 6 - Self-Inductance (L_ii) - L_ii / nH - Q3D magnetoquasistatic solver; pyEPR energy participation - 0.5 – 5 nH - 1 – 3 nH (target Ej/Ec ~ 50–80) - 0.5 – 5 nH - < 0.1 or > 20 nH - Sets Josephson energy Ej = Φ₀²/2L; directly determines qubit frequency f ≈ √(8EjEc)/h - L = L_geometric + L_kinetic; kinetic inductance is material-dependent (Al: ~0.1–1 pH/sq) * - 7 - Mutual Inductance (M_ij) - M_ij / pH - Q3D off-diagonal L matrix extraction - 1 – 50 pH - < 5 pH (idle qubits) - 5 – 50 pH - > 500 pH - Magnetically coupled flux between loops drives parasitic ZZ interaction and inductive crosstalk - Intentional M_ij used in flux-tunable couplers; unintentional M_ij sets residual ZZ floor * - 8 - Geometric Inductance - L_geo / pH/μm - Q3D partial inductance extraction (PEEC) - 0.3 – 0.8 pH/μm - < 0.5 pH/μm (wide ground traces) - 0.5 – 1 pH/μm - > 2 pH/μm - Inductance from current path geometry adds to kinetic inductance to set total L and mode freq - Slot cuts in ground plane drastically increase L_geo; continuous ground plane is preferred * - 9 - Kinetic Inductance (L_k) - L_k / pH/sq - Microwave resonator fitting; L_k = ℏ²/(π Δ e² n_s t) - 1–2 pH/sq (Al, 100–200 nm); 30–200 pH/sq (NbTiN) - < 2 pH/sq (standard Al transmon, 100–200 nm film) - 1 – 10 pH/sq - > 100 pH/sq (non-KI devices) - Inertia of Cooper pairs; provides non-linearity in KI qubits; adds to geometric L in CPW - High-L_k materials (NbTiN, TiN, NbN) used deliberately for kinetic inductance qubit designs * - 10 - Josephson Inductance (L_J) - L_J / nH - Derived: L_J = Φ₀/(2π I_c) = Φ₀²/(2Ej); I_c from RₙA measurement - 5 – 15 nH - 8 – 12 nH (Ej/Ec ~ 50–80) - 5 – 20 nH - < 1 or > 50 nH - Non-linear inductance of JJ; L_J(φ) = L_J0/cos(φ) provides essential quantum non-linearity - L_J is the ONLY non-linear element; its ratio to shunting capacitance sets anharmonicity α
