A Wolfram U Daily Study Group on Quantum Optics and Second Quantization begins on Monday, April 7, 2025 at 11:00 AM CDT.
Join me (@Bruno Tenorio), @Sebastian Rodriguez and a group of fellow learners to learn about the fundamentals of quantum optics using the Wolfram Quantum Framework. Our topics for the study group include field quantization, photonic states, interferometric experiments, atom-field interactions and open quantum systems.
A basic working knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and Wolfram Language is recommended.
Please feel free to use this thread to collaborate and share ideas, materials and links to other resources with fellow learners.
Like was said in the class, you can use Ctrl+Shift+T, or // TraditionalForm. Defaulting to TraditionalForm can be an issue when you have a state or operator in a big Hilbert space, so i think it is good that the object is a QuantumState and only use TraditionalForm when needed.
I am posting some material that was being requested. Actually there was some detail about that tricky poll question , the wording was not explicit enough so sorry about that!
We have Ordering option for DisplacementOperator and SqueezeOperator, however, for doing the type of manipulation you are asking we need exact commutation relations . I would say for that purpose a rule-based approach is more suitable (maybe from other paclets?), and then pass to Wolfram QuantumFramework when you have a concrete sequence of operators.
I know you already mentioned in the course how the formulas that appear in your Mathematica notebooks are written, but honestly, it wasn’t clear to me. I apologize, but I’m curious, so I’m asking you to please write a little here.
When I write formulas in a notebook, I normally use CTRL-4 to start typing in LaTeX and then press Enter and the formula appears. However, in your notebooks, when I click on your formulas, an orange box appears, and when I close it, the expression becomes much smaller.
Actually i use CTRL+4 too, but i have MaTeX installed https://resources.wolframcloud.com/FunctionRepository/resources/MaTeXInstall/ so it overrides the default inline latex. MaTeX display of equations is a bit nicer and i can automatically change the size (for example setting it in my init.m file). If you do not have MaTeX it just uses the default CTRL+4 behavior, and that is what happens when you click the equation.
The change you recommended got rid of the error, but I’m not sure the rest of the section is right.
Somehow that plot doesn’t look right.
What do you think?
I’m trying to just evaluate today’s notebook, but the evaluation is hung on the second input (QOE = QuantumEvolve [H/h, None, t] for over 20 minutes. I’m running v 14.1 of Mathematica in Win 10 Pro. Should it be taking this long to evaluate this input?
