SQuADDS Layouts - versioned GDS artifacts for superconducting quantum hardware

SQuADDS Layouts is the geometry-artifact companion to SQuADDS_DB, the Superconducting Qubit And Device Design and Simulation Database. It provides checksum-verified GDS files, stable geometry identities, and machine-readable geometry metadata so a simulation result can be traced to the exact layout that produced it.

The current release contains 24,106 reproducible superconducting-device layouts.

Component	Count	Source simulation configuration	Layout provenance
`GeneralizedCapNInterdigital`	20,062	`coupler-GeneralizedCapNInterdigital-cap_matrix`	Matched simulation layouts; includes the `q3d_cap` Q3D sweep
`CapNInterdigitalTee`	894	`coupler-CapNInterdigitalTee-cap_matrix`	Deterministic Qiskit Metal exports, one per database row
`CavityClawRouteMeander`	1,216	`cavity_claw-RouteMeander-eigenmode`	Deterministic full cavity routes from nested claw, CLT-coupler, and CPW options
`TransmonCross`	1,934	`qubit-TransmonCross-cap_matrix`	Deterministic Qiskit Metal qubit exports, one per database row

The incomplete q3d_cap_00317 export without a simulation record, matrix, or GDS artifact is intentionally excluded. The generalized dataset uses north and south as canonical terminal names; top and bottom simulation fields are retained in SQuADDS_DB as compatibility aliases.

Dataset Configurations

`layout-manifest`

metadata/manifest.parquet is the authoritative index. Every record includes:

layout_id: content-derived geometry identity.
artifact_id: SHA-256 checksum of the exact GDS file.
design_id: component-aware identity derived from design options.
source_id, simulation_repo, and simulation_config: links to the source simulation record.
gds_path: repository-relative raw artifact path.
bbox_um, layers, polygon_count, and cell_count: geometry metadata in micrometers.

`geometry-features-v1`

metadata/geometry-features-v1.parquet contains stable numerical features derived from the manifest without changing the raw GDS artifact. It includes bounds, area, aspect ratio, polygon and cell counts, plus sparse per-layer area and polygon statistics. This configuration is the reproducible input contract for future embedding models; it is not itself a learned embedding.

Access

Use the SQuADDS Python API to resolve a layout from a SQuADDS_DB row, download the checksum-verified GDS file, and inspect it on demand:

from squadds import SQuADDS_DB

row = ...  # one SQuADDS_DB simulation row
gds_path = SQuADDS_DB.download_gds(row)

Or use LayoutClient directly when you have a layout, design, or source ID:

from squadds.layouts import LayoutClient

client = LayoutClient()
layout = client.find(source_id="exp6/cap_0000")
summary = client.summary(layout)

Raw artifacts are organized as:

raw/GeneralizedCapNInterdigital/<campaign>/<instance>.gds
raw/CapNInterdigitalTee/generated_from_cap_matrix/<instance>.gds
raw/CavityClawRouteMeander/generated_from_cavity_claw_eigenmode/<instance>.gds
raw/TransmonCross/generated_from_transmon_cross_cap_matrix/<instance>.gds

The generalized layer and port convention is documented in metadata/layer-semantics-v1.json. Install the SQuADDS optional GDS dependency group (uv sync --extra gds) to inspect geometry locally.

Provenance and Contributions

The generalized-capacitor simulation data was contributed by Saikat Das of the Levenson-Falk Lab at USC. CapNInterdigitalTee artifacts are reproducibly generated from their paired SQuADDS_DB design definitions using Qiskit Metal. The cavity and TransmonCross artifacts are likewise generated from their paired SQuADDS_DB design options. Their GDS files contain functional conductor and etch geometry while omitting the finite simulation-domain ground plane.

New layouts should include a matching SQuADDS_DB simulation row, a stable source identifier, exact artifact checksum, component name, geometry metadata, and documented layer semantics. This keeps raw geometry, simulations, derived features, and future embeddings independently versioned but linkable.
