Scqubits: a Python package for superconducting qubits
$\textbf{scqubits}$ is an open-source Python package for simulating and analyzing superconducting circuits. It provides convenient routines to obtain energy spectra of common superconducting qubits, such as the transmon, fluxonium, flux, cos(2$\phi$) and the 0-$\pi$ qubit. $\textbf{scqubits}$ also f...
