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 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 ...
