OpenQuantumTools.jl
The official name of this package is "Hamiltonian Open Quantum System Toolkit" (HOQST). To conform with the Julia package name guidelines the code name of the package is OpenQuantumTools. It is a Julia toolkit for simulating the open quantum system dynamics. The package is still under heavy development, and changes in the interface(s) are more than likely to happen. Detailed documentation can be found here. Any pull requests are welcome.
Installation
To install, run the following commands inside the Julia REPL:
using Pkg
Pkg.add("OpenQuantumTools")Alternatively, this can also be done in Julia's Pkg REPL:
(1.5) pkg> add OpenQuantumTools
OpenQuantumTools requires Julia 1.4 or higher. Installing it on an older version of Julia will result in an unsatisfiable requirements error.
Useful Packages
It is recommended to install the following external packages:
Plots.jl
Plots is a visualization interface and toolset for Julia. OpenQuantumTools.jl provides several plotting functionality by recipes to Plots.jl.
DifferentialEquations.jl
Even though OpenQuantumTools.jl can function without DifferentialEquations.jl, it needs to be loaded in order for the master equation solvers to work properly. For low dependency usage, replacing DifferentialEquations by OrdinaryDiffEq.jl will also work.
Tutorials
Tutorials and examples can be found in HOQSTTutorials.jl.
