Managing Your Workspace

This section explains how to configure your account, manage projects, coordinate with teammates, and connect external tools.

Creating a New Project

To start a new chip design:

  1. Click the Create Project or New Project button.

  2. Fill out the project parameters form: * Project Name: Give your design a recognizable name. * Description: Explain the target of this design. * Qubit Count: Set the number of qubits on the chip. * Topology: Select how the qubits are arranged (Grid, Ring, Chain, Star, Heavy-Hex, etc.). * Target Frequency (GHz): The target operating frequency. * Substrate Material: Choose the chip base (Silicon or Sapphire). * Metal Layer: Select the superconducting metal (for example, Aluminum).

  3. Click Create to launch your project workspace.

What you just did: You initialized a project database with all the baseline physics and material defaults.

Managing Your Profile and Appearance Settings

  • Profile Management: Go to the Profile screen to set your profile picture, change your display name, edit your email, and select your job title/role.

  • Platform Customization: Go to the Settings screen to choose your interface theme (Light or Dark mode), adjust notifications, and generate developer API tokens for external script access.

  • Customizing Rules templates: Under settings, you can edit or import custom rules.json files to override system-wide design rules (like spacing constraints or default frequencies).

Managing Your Team

If you are working on a team project:

  1. Go to the Team screen.

  2. You will see a list of current members, their status (Active or Pending), and their role: * Owner: Full access, including deletion and billing control. * Admin: Can invite members and change project settings. * Editor: Can modify chip designs. * Viewer: Read-only access.

  3. To add a team member, type their email address in the invite field, select their role, and click Send Invite.

What you just did: You shared your workspace with a colleague. They will receive an email invitation to join.

Monitoring Usage and Billing

  1. Go to the Billing screen to review your subscription plan (Free, Pro, or Enterprise).

  2. Look at the Usage Metrics section to track your consumption of resources: * Simulation Hours: Computing time spent running electromagnetic analyses. * Storage Space: Total size of layout database snapshots. * Render Count: Number of visual layouts generated.

  3. Manage payment cards and view your billing invoice history.

Connecting External Integrations

  1. Go to the Integrations screen.

  2. Toggle and configure connections to: * Qiskit Metal: Enables advanced layout compilation. * Ansys HFSS / Q3D: Connects high-performance simulators. * scQubits: Power-user physics solver integration. * GitHub: Syncs layout snapshot history to a git repository. * Slack: Sends simulation completion reports to your channels.
