A library to assist in the rapid prototyping and simulation of quantum systems.

python-qubricks

QuBricks is a toolkit for the analysis and simulation of quantum systems using Python 2 (Python 3 support is blocked by the dependency on ParamPy). The primary goal of QuBricks is to facilitate insight into quantum systems; rather than to be the fastest or most efficient simulator. As such, the design of QuBricks is not especially geared toward very large or complicated quantum systems. It distinguishes itself from toolkits like QuTip (http://qutip.org/) in that before simulations everything can be expressed symbolically; allowing for analytic observations and computations. Simulations are nonetheless performed numerically, with various optimisations performed to make them more efficient.

For more information regarding the use of QuBricks, refer to documentation.pdf.

If you are interested in using QuBricks and are having trouble, please contact me at: [email protected] . I will only be too happy to help you.

Installation

If you use pip, you can run:

$ pip install qubricks

Otherwise, installing this module is as easy as:

$ python2 setup.py install

If you run Arch Linux, you can instead run:

$ makepkg -i

python-qubricks's Issues

Importing error and solution (along with Lindblad equations in qubricks)

I tried to install qubricks but I got importing errors for the parameters module. I realized the problem was that in the code, the importing was done like this:

from parameters import Parameters
There is no class called Parameters. It is called Parameter. I uninstalled qubricks, fixed the code by deleting the 's' in " Parameters" and re installed. It worked. ALso, note that I needed to also install mako since in integratorcallback.py it requires mako.templates. Maybe you should make that a dependency.
