I have a background in solid state physics from coursework, but I've never really used QM for almost anything outside of school.
- krastanov 1y agoI think you will have best luck by searching for "open quantum systems" toolboxes in your language of choice. My preferences are, in order: - QuantumOptics.jl in Julia - QuantumToolbox.jl in Julia - qutip in python These are all "just" nice domain specific wrappers around linear algebra and differential equation tools. They do the "silly" exponentially expensive simulation technique that works for any quantum system. If you are interested in efficient (not exponential) simulation techniques that support only a subset of all quantum dynamics try out: - stabilizer formalism (e.g. for error correction) with QuantumClifford.jl or stim - Gaussian quantum optics (e.g. for laser physics) with Gabs.jl - tensor networks (e.g. for arbitrary low-rank entanglement) with ITensors.jl

- hershkumar 1y agoIf you prefer python, tenpy is quite nice for tensor networks as well.
- nyeah 1y agoThanks! I am kind of stuck in Python, or at least stuck outside of Julia.
- Bengalilol 1y agoNot perfectly answering your request, but did you look at https://github.com/topics/quantum-computing?o=desc&s=updated https://github.com/topics/quantum-computing?o=desc&s=updated
- nyeah 1y agoI haven't, thanks.
- the__alchemist 1y agoTry ORCA and GROMACS. Accessible as you can DL them and there are lots of docs. But very high learning curve, and not graphical on their own.
