Fluxus-S · SFQ logic

Deployed today

Verify SFQ logic
without the JoSIM queue.

Fluxus-S is the superconducting-digital half of Fluxus: margin, timing, yield, and design-rule verification for RSFQ single-flux-quantum cells — layout-native, JoSIM-accurate, with a calibrated confidence bound on every prediction. It is our deployed, process-validated product. Point it at a cell library and a PDK and screen a chip's worth of cells before lunch.

Delivery · API and CLI

A design loop, not an overnight queue.

Point the API or CLI at a cell library and a PDK and you get propagation delay, switching margin, and design-rule compliance for every cell with a confidence bound — the low-confidence handful auto-flagged for a full SPICE check. Trained per process node on your reference simulator.

Capabilities · the whole SFQ surface

Every feature, with the number behind it.

Margin verification from netlists, plus a layout-native deep screener that reads GDS geometry directly — each line carrying the metric that backs it.

~10³× vs JoSIM margin runs

Deep-engine figures are measured vs JoSIM on the ColdFlux SFQ5ee+ family under a grouped cell-level split — no clean or mutated variant of a held-out cell appears at any training stage. Single-cell delay carries its stated RMSE, so for fast cells it reads near the noise floor and is flagged; the screening grade, design-rule flags, and chip-scale batch are where the deep engine earns its keep.

Process nodes

Validated where it counts.

Fluxus-S is validated on MIT-LL SFQ5ee+ and retargets to other fab nodes from one netlist. Per-process calibration is a fixed-scope engagement: we train on your reference simulator and hand you the validated endpoint with its validity report.

Building SFQ control for qubits?

Fluxus-S and Fluxus-Q together enable co-design — simulating SFQ control logic against qubit Hamiltonians for flux crosstalk, timing, and heat load at 10 mK. Own both, or start with the half you need now.

Designing RSFQ logic?
Let's talk.

If your design loop is bottlenecked on JoSIM margin runs, we'd like to understand it — and train Fluxus-S on your process.
