Libquantum

Libquantum is a C library quantum mechanics simulator originally focused on virtual quantum computers. It is licensed under the GNU GPL. It was a part of SPEC 2006. The latest version is stated to be v1.1.1 (Jan 2013) on the mailing list, but on the website there is only v0.9.1 from 2007. An author of libquantum, Hendrik Weimer, has published a paper in Nature about using Rydberg atoms for universal quantum simulation with colleagues, using his own work. (Wikipedia).

logarithm of a matrix

logarithm of a matrix. I calculate ln of a matrix by finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of that matrix and by using diagonalization. It's a very powerful tool that allows us to find exponentials, sin, cos, and powers of a matrix and relates to Fibonacci numbers as well. This is a mus

Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

In studying linear algebra, we will inevitably stumble upon the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. These sound very exotic, but they are very important not just in math, but also physics. Let's learn what they are, and how to find them! Script by Howard Whittle Watch the whole Math

Understanding Matrices and Matrix Notation

In order to do linear algebra, we will have to know how to use matrices. So what's a matrix? It's just an array of numbers listed in a grid of particular dimensions that can represent the coefficients and constants from a system of linear equations. They're fun, I promise! Let's just start

Divisibility, Prime Numbers, and Prime Factorization

Now that we understand division, we can talk about divisibility. A number is divisible by another if their quotient is a whole number. The smaller number is a factor of the larger one, but are there numbers with no factors at all? There's some pretty surprising stuff in this one! Watch th
