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 publicly released in 2020.
The official Paclet name of this framework has been changed to "QuantumMob/Q3" (previously, "Q3") following the convention of the Wolfram Language Paclet Repository. To load Q3, use
Get["QuantumMob`Q3`"]or
Needs["QuantumMob`Q3`"](usually it is autoloaded when WolframKernel starts). The primary context is now "QuantumMob`Q3`" (rather than previous "Q3`").
Q3 requires Mathematica v13.1 or later.
Q3 provides a fully automatic installation and update. Please take a look at the Installation Guide for the instructions.
YouTube video tutorials of Q3 are available from here.
Once Q3 is installed, put Q3 or QuantumMob/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.
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.
The QuantumPlaybook repository provides more demonstrations of various subjects that could not be included in the Quantum Workbook.
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).
Any comment, suggestion, or bug report will be appreciated. Please address it to: quantum.mob21@gmail.com.
Q3 has been selected for Staff Picks on the Wolfram Community.
