An Introductory Taste of Quantum Information Calculations in Python

Coding

One of the interesting aspects of quantum information science is that it is often possible to get started calculating things, and maybe even discovering new things, without as much advanced mathematical background as other branches of physics. Competence in, and comfort with, linear algebra is a big part of what’s needed. A little coding experience […]
