X2 Lab
Quantum chip design workspace. Records planning intent only — never fabrication or measurement claims.
X2-QCHIP-A01 Design Lock v0.1
First locked design direction. Planning record only — no fabrication, measurement, or hardware claim.
Target function
Investigate whether a candidate material stack and resonator/metamaterial geometry can concentrate or couple energy at a research target band without unacceptable field loss or thermal behavior.
Target band
Exploratory THz / quantum-research band. Exact center frequency stays TBD until material constants and literature assumptions are source-backed.
Candidate material stack
Graphene/MoS2 candidate stack on research substrate TBD.
Candidate geometry
Metamaterial aperture / resonator receiver cell with junction and contact geometry to be drafted in the first layout pass.
First simulation question
Can the proposed X2 receiver geometry concentrate or couple energy at the target research band without unacceptable field loss or thermal rise?
Tool path
Start with Python, Jupyter, gdsfactory, and KLayout. Evaluate COMSOL RF or Ansys HFSS only after the first geometry and simulation assumptions are locked.

X2 Quantum Chip Starter Pack
Guided design-control workflow mirroring the local starter-pack folder structure.
This starter pack organizes chip-design work. It does not prove fabrication, measured performance, certification, validation, or a live quantum-computer connection.
