Outline

Thursday

  • Tools for Scientific Computing 0

    • Learn what a shell is and how to interact with the command line
    • Install and learn about package managers
    • Install and explore two great examples of modern text editors
    • Install and set up Python for the following lectures
  • Tools for Scientific Computing 1

    • Secure shell (SSH) for remote and HPC computing
    • Version control with Git
  • Python for General Use

    • Introduction to the Python language via an interactive interpreter
    • Learn about types, indexing, functions, and classes in Python
    • Python 2 vs. 3
    • Stylistic guidelines for keeping collaborators happy (incl. future you)
    • Learn about coding interface called Jupyter Notebook
  • Python for Scientific Computing

    • Storing, representing, and manipulating tensors of numeric data with the NumPy and SciPy packages
    • R-style data analysis with the Pandas package
    • publication-quality plotting and with Matplotlib, and statistics plotting with Seaborn

Friday

  • Open Quantum Systems Simulation with QuTiP

    • Install and configure compilers for use with Python
    • Install QuTiP and learn how to represent quantum states, measurements, unitaries, and superoperators
    • Use QuTiP to examine properties of norms
    • See an example of unit testing in action
  • Data Analysis with QInfer

    • Estimate the bias of a classical coin
    • Learn how to use QInfer to perform:
      • quantum state tomography
      • phase estimation
      • randomized benchmarking
    • Specify custom models to use with QInfer
  • Instrument Control with InstrumentKit

    • Learn about unit support for calculations in Python via two packages (Quantities and Pint)
    • Go deeper into classes in Python and how they can be useful for designing interfaces to communicate to instruments
    • Design a driver for a demo instrument
  • Interoperability with Modern and Legacy Environments

    • Connecting Python to C, MATLAB, and Julia
