QuTiP, short for the Quantum Toolbox in Python, is an open-source computational physics software library for simulating quantum systems, particularly open quantum systems.[1][2] QuTiP allows simulation of Hamiltonians with arbitrary time-dependence, allowing simulation of situations of interest in quantum optics, ion trapping, superconducting circuits and quantum nanomechanical resonators. The library includes extensive visualization facilities for content under simulations.
QuTiP's API provides a Python interface and uses Cython to allow run-time compilation and extensions via C and C++. QuTiP is built to work well with popular Python packages NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and IPython.
