kpobrien / josephsoncircuits.jl Goto Github PK

Dear Professor O'Brien,

I am interested in the planned addition of kinetic inductors to JosephsonCircuits.jl. In the readme of the repository this is indicated as a future development goal and I would like offer my assistance in its implementation.

In order to familiarize myself with the JosephsonCircuits.jl codebase effectively, any pointers towards existing implementations of similar nonlinear components or preliminary thoughts you have on incorporating kinetic inductors would be much appreciated. Specifically, insights into the preferred approach and how it you would expect integration with the project’s broader objectives would greatly assist in aligning my efforts with your vision.

Additionally, if there are particular areas within the codebase where you foresee the need for initial focus (for instance, the implementation of Josephson junctions) or any resources you recommend for a deeper understanding in the context of the kinetic inductance and harmonic balance solvers, such information would be highly beneficial.

Thank you for considering my request. I am eager to contribute to the project’s development and look forward to any advice you can provide.

Best regards,

Daan Waardenburg

Very nice to finally speak to you Mr. O'Brien.
I have been meaning to instroduce myself for a while already but thus far the oppertunity did not present itself yet.
Really excited about using this package to simulate amplifiers with more realistic and/or complex ciruits.
The issue itself is rather small, basically I was missing the Plots package during installation.

Information
JosephsonCircuits version: v0.1.4
Julia version: 1.8.4
Operating system: Windows

What is the current behavior?
When installing the JosephsonCircuits on a new computer the examples do not run because they are missing the Plots package.

Steps to reproduce the problem
Try running the example scripts on a fresh computer.

What is the expected behavior?
The system needs to be able to find the Plots package and run the example code from this repository.

Suggested solutions
Add Pkg.add("Plots") to the setup instructions.
