• Abstract: Superconducting quantum circuit design is reliant on accurately mapping design parameters to a quantum Hamiltonian. Designers typically rely on computationally intensive finite-element electromagnetic simulations. However, effective circuit-level models can in principle capture much of the relevant physics for these systems, reducing the need for finite-element simulations. A barrier to implementing these simpler models has been the prevalence of distributed elements such as coplanar waveguides resonators in device designs. Techniques for modeling these distributed elements have been developed, but may be difficult to scale, reduce intuition, and give inaccurate results under strong coupling. In this work we describe a simple effective circuit-level model that faithfully reproduces the scattering parameters, and subsequently can predict certain Hamiltonian parameters, for a coupled, distributed element within a broader two-port network even up to strong coupling. Our approach does not explicitly require an electromagnetic simulation. Our model, along with other common lumped models used in black box quantization, is publicly available to researchers via an open-source code package, $\texttt{simpleLOMs}$.
