Keysight Technologies is taking a full-scale step toward a paradigm shift in the industry by simultaneously increasing the precision and efficiency of quantum research through a next-generation EDA platform that integrates electromagnetics, circuits, and quantum mechanics.

Keysight Technologies officially announced on the 16th a new electronic design automation (EDA) solution for quantum researchers and engineers, Quantum System Analysis.

This solution is the industry's first system-level platform capable of integrating simulations of electromagnetics, circuits, and quantum mechanics in a single environment, and is considered a groundbreaking leap forward in solving the challenges of quantum system development.

This launch is particularly significant as it comes just after the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized the research on 'superconducting quantum circuits'.

Superconducting qubits are a key area of Keysight's new solutions, and as they are announced at a time of intense industry interest, they are expected to have a significant impact across the quantum research ecosystem.

Looking at the main features, it provides an integrated platform that integrates the existing 'Quantum Layout', 'QuantumPro EM', and 'Quantum Circuit Simulation'.It extends the 'on' to support system-level simulation.

Additionally, by shortening the development cycle, the workflow from the initial design stage to cryogenic experiments can be verified in a virtual environment, reducing the reliance on repetitive experiments.

Here we include a dilution refrigerator input line optimization tool for thermal noise and qubit temperature estimation with precision analysis capabilities.

The newly released Quantum System Analysis introduces two key features that enhance the precision of quantum research.

First, the 'Time Dynamics Simulator' models the temporal evolution of quantum systems based on Hamiltonians derived from electromagnetic and circuit simulations.

This allows for precise simulations of complex quantum experiments such as Rabi or Ramsey pulsing, greatly helping researchers to clearly understand the behavior of qubits over time.

Additionally, the 'Dilution Fridge Input Line Designer' is a function that precisely models the cryostat input line that connects to the qubit.

This capability enables thermal noise analysis and effective qubit temperature estimation, enabling engineers to simulate the input architecture of a refrigerator and minimize thermal photon leakage, ultimately significantly improving the fidelity of the system.

“Quantum System Analysis connects electromagnetic and circuit modeling with system-level simulation to create a truly integrated workflow,” said Chris Mueth, senior director of Keysight’s Emerging Markets Division. “It eliminates the need for repetitive cryogenic testing and accelerates development innovation,” he said.

“By implementing a ‘shift left’ strategy through simulation, we enable researchers to verify system-level designs at an early stage,” said Mohamed Hassan, general manager of Keysight’s quantum solutions planning team.

Quantum System Analysis is available as part of the Advanced Design System 2026 (ADS 2026) platform and can be expanded in various ways, including superconducting qubits as well as spin qubits.
