Questions tagged [qutip]
For questions about code which makes some use of QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python). It is an open-source software library for simulating the dynamics of closed and open quantum systems. Please don't use the programming tag unless you absolutely think it is related to your question. Basically, questions which involve calculating physical quantities, by doing numerical computations on a computer are suited for this tag.

How can extract reduced dynamics of a bipartite system from unitary evolution in quite
Let us assume that I have a bipartite system $A\otimes B$ and an initial product state undergoing some evolution $H^{AB} = H^A+H^B+V^{AB}$, which is time independent. I want to simulate the reduced ...

How to solve non-"cross-damping off" Linblad equation in QuTiP?
As I understand from the official QuTiP guidlines, it is only capable of solving "cross-damping off" Master Equation in form:
$\dot{\rho(t)} = -\dfrac{i}{\hbar}[H(t),\rho(t)] + \sum\limits_n\...

Writing the Jaynes-Cumming model in QuTip
I want to write the Jaynes-Cumming Hamiltonian in QuTip.
$$H = \hbar \omega_{C} a^\dagger a + \frac12 \hbar \omega_{a} \sigma_{z} + \hbar \lambda (\sigma_{+} a + \sigma_{-} a^\dagger)$$
I assume $\...

How to define initial state $\rvert \Psi(0) \rangle \equiv \rvert 1, -1 \rangle \otimes \rvert 0 \rangle_{\text{cav}} $ of a system in QuTiP?
Say, we have a $\require{mhchem}\ce{^87Rb}$ atom having an electric dipole transition on the $D_{1}$ line and we have two hyperfine ground states, one on $F = 1$ and one on $F = 2$ level. So, we take ...
