Keysight Advances Quantum Engineering with New System-Level Simulation Solution

Keysight Technologies announced the release of Quantum System Analysis, a breakthrough Electronic Design Automation (EDA) solution that enables quantum engineers to simulate and optimize quantum systems at the system level. This new capability marks a significant expansion of Keysight’s Quantum EDA portfolio, which includes Quantum Layout, QuantumPro EM, and Quantum Circuit Simulation. This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the field, especially following the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, which recognized advances in superconducting quantum circuits—a core area of focus for Keysight’s new solution.

System-level quantum analysis has long been a challenge due to the complexity of integrating diverse physical domains—electromagnetic, circuit, and quantum dynamics—into a unified simulation environment. Traditional approaches often rely on fragmented tools and repeated cryogenic experiments, which are both time-consuming and costly. Keysight’s Quantum System Analysis bridges this gap by providing a cohesive platform that enables early validation of quantum system designs, reducing development cycles and improving design confidence.

Quantum System Analysis empowers researchers to simulate the quantum workflow, from initial design stages to system-level experiments, reducing reliance on costly cryogenic testing and accelerating time-to-validation. This integrated approach supports simulations of quantum experiments and includes tools to optimize dilution fridge input lines for thermal noise and qubit temperature estimation.

Quantum System Analysis introduces two transformative features:

Quantum System Analysis is available as part of Keysight’s Advanced Design System (ADS) 2026 platform and complements existing quantum EDA solutions. It supports superconducting qubit platforms and is extensible to other modalities such as spin qubits, making it a versatile choice for quantum R&D teams.
