            QuTiP is open-source software for simulating the dynamics of open quantum systems.  The QuTiP library depends on the excellent <a href='https://www.numpy.org'>Numpy</a>, <a href='https://www.scipy.org'>Scipy</a>, and <a href='https://cython.org'>Cython</a> numerical packages. In addition, graphical output is provided by <a href='https://matplotlib.org'>Matplotlib</a>.  QuTiP aims to provide user-friendly and efficient numerical simulations of a wide variety of Hamiltonians, including those with arbitrary time-dependence, commonly found in a wide range of physics applications such as quantum optics, trapped ions, superconducting circuits, and quantum nanomechanical resonators. QuTiP is freely available for use and/or modification on all major platforms such as Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows. Being free of any licensing fees, QuTiP is ideal for exploring quantum mechanics and dynamics in the classroom.
