Quantum phase‐slips, which are the exact duals of Josephson junctions (JJs), are promising for several applications in classical and quantum superconducting electronic circuits. The experimental testing of the phase‐slip phenomena and identifying these applications has been challenging. In this reported work, the use of a dual to a JJ model to implement a SPICE model of a quantum phase‐slip junction (QPSJ) in JSPICE3, in order to explore possible circuit applications, is demonstrated. A transient analysis model of the device is presented and an example of an I–V curve simulation of the device, along with a simulation of a possible circuit application of the device, are also shown.
