SiQAD Documentation

SiQAD (Silicon Quantum Atomic Designer) is a next-generation CAD tool that enables the design and simulation of silicon dangling bond (DB) circuits through an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and a modular simulation back-end. The tool currently offers simulators that predict ground-state and dynamic electron configuration of given DB configurations, and electrostatics simulation given electrode layouts. Please read the SiQAD publication on IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (open access) for a detailed introduction to the tool and simulators, and visit the Walus Lab website for information about us and other projects that Walus Lab works on!
