Hi All, I'm announcing the availability of the qm-maxima package for performing quantum mechanical calculations in a finite dimensional Hilbert space. The package is located on my Github site: https://github.com/QMeqGR/qm-maxima Thanks to Robert Dodier and Barton Willis for their contributions that have greatly improved the package. I've expanded the functionality considerably since I first posted about the package here. It is geared toward undergrad and graduate students learning QM. The pdf doc is nearing 30 pages and gives lots of detail on how the package works and how to use it. Using the package, I can solve probably 60% of the problems I assign in my undergraduate quantum class. I bring it up now because I submitted an abstract to the American Association of Physics Teachers (AATP) meeting scheduled for Jan 2025 to present the package. I'll have a 12 minute talk and I plan to spend about 3 slides on Maxima itself before talking about my package. (There are a few things I wanted to bring up with everyone before I put my Maxima slides together, but I'll post about that separately.) So if any of you are interested in playing with the package, or just looking through the examples given in the docs, I would appreciate any feedback! Best regards, Eric |

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much for this package!
However, I was not able to use it yet.I downloaded the package from github, I unzip it and put it inD:\USERS\wxMaxima\qm-maxima. I'm using Windows 10.
I used qm_examples-1.wxmx in directory docs\examplesI save it as qm_examples-1.wxm in which I did some changes.
When I run qm_examples-1.wxm with no changes, I get
file_search1: qm not found in file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp.This is obvious because I'm not pointing to the directory
So I added load("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/qm");instead of load(qm); but I getfile_search1: "qm.lisp" not found in file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp.
I change it to load("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/qm.mac");but I get:file_search1: "qm.lisp" not found in file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp.
I added:file_search_maxima:cons(sconcat("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/###.{lisp,mac,mc}"),file_search_maxima)$file_search_lisp:cons(sconcat("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/###.{lisp,mac,mc}"),file_search_lisp)$before the load("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/qm.mac"); but I getfile_search1: "qm-index.lisp" not found in file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp.
This qm-index.lisp file is in the docs directory. It seems odd that thenormal functioning of the package depends on a file in the docs directory.
I added:file_search_maxima:cons(sconcat("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/###.{lisp,mac,mc}"),file_search_maxima)$file_search_lisp:cons(sconcat("D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/###.{lisp,mac,mc}"),file_search_lisp)$I get:While evaluating the form starting at line 5, column 0 of #P"D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/qm-index-html.lisp":; ; compilation unit aborted; caught 1 fatal ERROR conditionloadfile: failed to load D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/qm-index-html.lisp
At this point I gave up and decided to write this letter.What is the proper way to point at your package?
Thanks again,
Daniel Volinski

Hi Daniel,
I'm sorry you're having trouble with the package. Let's see if we can
figure it out.
The top level file "qm.mac" loads the other .mac and .lisp files. But
file_search_maxima needs to see the whole directory. I'm on Linux, but
I think the following might work with slight changes.
In my maxima-init.mac file I have:
/* ---------------------------------------------------------- */
file_search_maxima :
append(["/home/ehm/math/Maxima/share/**/*.mac"],file_search_maxima )$
file_search_demo :
append(["/home/ehm/math/Maxima/share/**/*.mac"],file_search_demo )$
/* ---------------------------------------------------------- */
I'm not sure how to specify wildcards for the subdirectories on
Windows. Maybe try
file_search_maxima :
append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/**/*.mac"],file_search_maxima)$
If someone else is on Windows and knows how to set this please let us
know!
-Eric

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your response,
I deleted the previous commands form the file and I used:file_search_maxima:append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/**/*.mac"],file_search_maxima )$file_search_demo:append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/**/*.mac"],file_search_demo )$
but it didn't work
I tried:file_search_maxima:append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/**/*.mac"],file_search_maxima )$file_search_demo:append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/**/*.mac"],file_search_demo )$
but to no avail. In both cases I get:
load("qm.mac");
file_search1: "qm.mac" not found in
file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp.

Hi Daniel,
I looked at some previous posts regarding setting of the paths on
Windows. Please try the following:
append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-
maxima/###.{mac,lisp}","D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-
maxima/docs/###.{mac,lisp}"],file_search_maxima);
append(["D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-
maxima/###.{mac,lisp}","D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-
maxima/docs/###.{mac,lisp}"],file_search_lisp);
To see if the file search is working you can try:
file_search(qm); --> should point to qm.mac
file_search("qm-index-html.lisp"); --> should find the html docs
If this works (fingers crossed), you can add the append commands to run
automatically through configure-->startup-commands on wxMaxima.

Hi Eric,
I also commented out the loading of documentation in "qm.mac", like this:/* load the documentation */;; load("qm-index.lisp")$;; load("qm-index-html.lisp")$
Now I get the following problem in "basic.mac"load("qm.mac");
D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/basis.mac:30:0:incorrect syntax: Premature termination of input at ;.; ^

Hi Eric,
I think we have overcome the problems of pointing at your package:
file_search(qm);
"D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/qm.lisp"
file_search("qm-index-html.lisp");
"D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/qm-index-html.lisp"
file_search("qm-index-html.lisp");
"D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/qm-index-html.lisp"
But now the problem remains:
load("qm-index-html.lisp");
While evaluating the form starting at line 5, column 0 of #P"D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/qm-index-html.lisp":; ; compilation unit aborted ; caught 1 fatal ERROR conditionloadfile: failed to load D:/USERS/wxMaxima/qm-maxima/docs/qm-index-html.lisp
This file, qm-index-html.lisp, is full of explicit references to your installation:
(in-package :cl-info)(let ((html-index '(("hbar" "/home/ehm/math/Maxima/share/ehm/qm-maxima/docs/qm_html/index.html" "index-hbar") ("zp" "/home/ehm/math/Maxima/share/ehm/qm-maxima/docs/qm_html/index.html" "index-zp")
I think this file should be changed to point to "relative-to-the-installation" references.

This might be related to recent changes in Maxima regarding loading of
multiple index files. We developed a package template for third-party
packages (https://github.com/QMeqGR/PKG-maxima). Some changes were made
to core Maxima to be able to deal with multiple index doc files. These
changes are in the current development branch, but not in the last
release 5.47. (The 5.48 release is currently being assembled but I
don't know when that will be completed.) Until then you could clone the
Maxima repo from SourceForge and build Maxima to get the functionality,
or just use the PDF and text-based docs available through the "?" and
"??" functions.
The easiest thing to do is just comment out the loading of the index
files like you have below, but the way it is done is not quite correct.

To comment out code in a .mac file use the C-style /* ... */
delimiters. The Lispy ";;" comments won't work in a .mac file because
";" means 'end of input' to the Maxima parser.
Let me know how it goes.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your help. I changed the comment-out as you indicated. Now I am able to run the package.I am using qm-examples-1.wxm and I compare it with the original qm-examples-1.wxmx for reference.
I get the following output:
k: ket([a]); => ket([a])
b: bra([b]); => bra([b])b . k; => braket(bra([b]),ket([a]))
Not at all like the original:
k: ket([a]); => |[a]>
b: bra([b]); => <[b]|
b . k; => kron_delta(a,b)
What am I missing? Is it possible this depends on the commented-out packages?

Hi Daniel,
If you use wxMaxima, then load the packages in the following order:
load(qm);
load("wx.lisp");
The file wx.lisp redefines the pretty printing of the kets in wxMaxima.
If you only run maxima in a terminal window, you do not need to load
wx.lisp.
I'm glad the package is working for you! Let me know if you have other
questions.
Best,
Eric

Hi Eric,
I'm making progress.I'm still on qm-examples-1.wxm comparing to qm-examples-1.wxmx
The first cell:k: ket([a]); => |[a]> it is OK
b: bra([b]); => <[b]| it is OK
b . k; => braket(<[b]|,|[a]>) in your file it is kron_delta(a,b)
The second cell is identicalL: makelist( concat(c,i), i, 5 );apply('declare,[L,complex])$facts();
The third cell:k: sum( concat(c,i)*ket([i]),i,1,5); => |[5]>*c5+|[4]>*c4+|[3]>*c3+|[2]>*c2+|[1]>*c1 it is OK
b: dagger(k); => on your output all the conjugates have an overbar, in my output it is conjugate
<[5]|*conjugate(c5)+<[4]|*conjugate(c4)+<[3]|*conjugate(c3)+<[2]|*conjugate(c2)+<[1]|*conjugate(c1)
then:b . k; => <[5]|*conjugate(c5) . |[5]>*c5+<[5]|* conjugate(c5) . |[4]>*c4+<[5]|*conjugate(c5) . |[3]>*c3+<[5]|*conjugate(c5) . |[2]>*c2+<[5]|*conjugate(c5) . |[1]>*c1+<[4]|*conjugate(c4) . |[5]>*c5+<[4]|*conjugate(c4) . |[4]>*c4+<[4]|*conjugate(c4) . |[3]>*c3+<[4]|*conjugate(c4) . |[2]>*c2+<[4]|*conjugate(c4) . |[1]>*c1+<[3]|*conjugate(c3) . |[5]>*c5+<[3]|*conjugate(c3) . |[4]>*c4+<[3]|*conjugate(c3) . |[3]>*c3+<[3]|*conjugate(c3) . |[2]>*c2+<[3]|*conjugate(c3) . |[1]>*c1+<[2]|*conjugate(c2) . |[5]>*c5+<[2]|*conjugate(c2) . |[4]>*c4+<[2]|*conjugate(c2) . |[3]>*c3+<[2]|*conjugate(c2) . |[2]>*c2+<[2]|*conjugate(c2) . |[1]>*c1+<[1]|*conjugate(c1) . |[5]>*c5+<[1]|*conjugate(c1) . |[4]>*c4+<[1]|*conjugate(c1) . |[3]>*c3+<[1]|*conjugate(c1) . |[2]>*c2+<[1]|*conjugate(c1) . |[1]>*c1

Hi Daniel,
If you use wxMaxima, then load the packages in the following order:
load(qm);
load("wx.lisp");
The file wx.lisp redefines the pretty printing of the kets in wxMaxima.
If you only run maxima in a terminal window, you do not need to load
wx.lisp.
I'm glad the package is working for you! Let me know if you have other
questions.
Best,
Eric

Hi Daniel,
What version of Maxima/wxMaxima are you using? Independent of qm-
maxima, if you input:
declare(c,complex);
conjugate(c);
you should see the overbar in wxMaxima, while you will see
'conjugate(c)' in the Maxima terminal.

Strange that you don't see the kron_delta(). Try it like this
k: ket([u]);
b: bra([d]);
b . k;
you should see kron_delta(u,d).

Do you see that all the c_i variables are declared complex after
facts()?

I've pushed version 0.9.5-beta5 with some new and updated examples if
you want to download the new version.

Hi Eric,
I'm using "5.38.1".Yes, I know, it's rather old but for my needs it has served me well.

This might explain the differences in output that you are seeing. If you upgrade to 5.47.0 everything but the online docs should work. When 5.48.0 is released, hopefully soon, then the docs will work as well. I am also updating qm-maxima and adding new capabilities frequently. The latest pre-release is 0.9.6-beta1. If you download this version and run the test suite with "batch(rtest_qm,test)" you will see any failures on the version of Maxima you are running. -Eric |
