What We Do

At QDC, we maintain and extend open-source tools for quantum device design and simulation. Our work includes contributions to widely used platforms such as Qiskit Metal, AWS Palace, and other software essential for quantum research and engineering. By improving these tools, we enable researchers and developers worldwide to design, simulate, and optimize superconducting quantum devices more efficiently.

About Us

We are a collaborative group of research scientists dedicated to advancing quantum device science with a focus on superconducting systems. Supported by the Quantum Computing Student Association (QCSA) at UCLA and USC, our work brings together researchers and mentors from both academia and industry, including collaborators from Google Quantum AI (Zlatko Minev and Murat Can Sarihan), USC (Eli Levenson-Falk and Shanto), Chapman University (Abhishek), Northwestern University (Jens Koch), the University of Oregon (Nik Zhelev), and the Niels Bohr Institute, among others. United by a shared commitment to innovation and discovery, we strive to deepen the understanding of quantum phenomena and advance the future of superconducting quantum technologies.
