A. Mercurio, L. Gravina, and Y.-T. Huang.

Introduction

QuantumToolbox.jl is a cutting-edge Julia package designed for quantum physics simulations, closely emulating the popular Python QuTiP package. It uniquely combines the simplicity and power of Julia with advanced features like GPU acceleration and distributed computing, making simulation of quantum systems more accessible and efficient.

Features

QuantumToolbox.jl is equipped with a robust set of features:

• Quantum State and Operator Manipulation: Easily handle quantum states and operators with a rich set of tools.
• Dynamical Evolution: Advanced solvers for time evolution of quantum systems.
• Measurement and Statistics: Comprehensive quantum measurement simulation and analysis.
• GPU and Distributed Computing: Leverage GPU and distributed resources for high-performance computing.

Installation

QuantumToolbox.jl requires Julia 1.7+. To install it, run the following commands inside Julia's interactive session (also known as REPL):

using Pkg
Pkg.add("QuantumToolbox")

Alternatively, this can also be done in Julia's Pkg REPL by pressing the key ] in the REPL to use the package mode, and then type the following command:

(1.7) pkg> add QuantumToolbox

To load the package and check the version information, use either versioninfo() or about(), namely

using QuantumToolbox
QuantumToolbox.versioninfo()
QuantumToolbox.about()
