Welcome to the C++/Python Version of WavePacket

This is an experimental version of the WavePacket project, coded in C++/Python, still under development. Note that there is also a (more mature and stable!) Matlab/Octave version of WavePacket.

06-May-2024: Version 0.3.6 released

Added 2D plots. Apart from that, there were two big changes with fallout. Most importantly, I spent a lot of time on building the library; the goal / fallout is a better build documentation (in the form of the Vagrantfile), an upgrade of the tensor library, and, most importantly, a binary Windows package. The second big feature is a Faber polynomial propagator. To make it usable, I also added functionality to truncate operators and estimate their spectrum.
