We are pleased to introduce the first official release of QFit, version 1.0.0. Developed with the aim to assist researchers in calibration and parameter fitting for superconducting circuits, QFit simplifies the process of extracting circuit parameters from spectroscopy data. This release follows a period of beta testing, during which we received and incorporated feedback from early users to improve functionality and usability.

Highlights of v1.0.0

  • Launch of the First Stable Version: Moving beyond our beta phase, v1.0.0 represents our initial step into providing a stable and reliable tool for the community.

  • Streamlined Four-Step Workflow:

    • Calibration: Facilitates the map from voltage inputs into tunable circuit parameters.
    • Point Extraction: Peak extraction and labeling from the spectroscopy data, enhanced with peak snap (Y-Snap), coordinate alignment (X-Snap) and image filters.
    • Interactive Pre-fit: Adjust model parameters with sliders, compare between simulated transitions and experimental data in real-time.
    • Automated Fitting: Refine your parameter fitting with the numerical optimizer, with just a few clicks.
  • scQubits Integration: Powered by the scQubits library, QFit supports extensive simulations across various circuit QED systems.

  • Improved User Experience: Credit to our UI/UX designer, Tianying Lyu, for crafting an interface that aims to be both intuitive and efficient, catering to researchers' needs.

  • Feedback-Driven Development: The insights and suggestions from our community have been crucial in refining QFit. We remain open to and appreciative of continued feedback.

Getting Started

We invite you to explore QFit v1.0.0 and share your experiences or suggestions with us. Your feedback is valuable in guiding future updates and improvements.
