Q3: Symbolic Quantum Simulation

Q3 is a symbolic quantum simulation framework written in Wolfram Language to help study quantum information systems, quantum many-body systems, and quantum spin systems; hence the name Q3. It provides various tools and utilities for symbolic and numerical calculations on these representative quantum systems. It was publically released in 2020.

Requirements

Q3 requires Mathematica v12.2 or later.

Installation

Q3 provides a fully automatic installation and update. Please take a look at the Installation Guide for the instructions.

YouTube Video Tutorials

YouTube video tutorials of Q3 are available from here.

Quick Start

Once Q3 is installed, put Q3 or Q3/guide/Q3 in the search field of the Wolfram Language Documentation Center (Mathematica Help window) to get users' guides and tutorials on Q3; see the following screenshots.

Quantum Computation and Information with Q3

For more advanced uses of Q3, take a look at textbook "A Quantum Computation Workbook" (Springer, March 2022). A compilation of the Mathematica(R) Notebook files that have been used to generate the demonstrations in this textbook is available from the QuantumPlaybook repository.

Quantum Playbook

The QuantumPlaybook repository provides more demonstrations of various subjects that could not be included in the Quantum Workbook.

For Beginners of Mathematica

If this is your first time to use Mathematica, this guide written by Stephen Wolfram himself might be a good starting point: An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language (2nd edition).
