Welcome to the QSEPACK 1.0 Release Page
Access to QSEPACK 1.0's software is immediate:
Access to QSEPACK 1.0's theory documentation (as distinct from the code documentation) temporarily requires a password because a manuscript Five promises from geometric quantum mechanics for efficient quantum simulation is in review.
If all you need is an overview of the main theoretical ideas behind QSEPACK, go to the UW Quantum System Engineering Laboratory Web Page at www.mrfm.org and read down.
If you already know the QSEPACK theory documentation password, click here.
If you would like to review the theory in detail, send an email to John Sidles containing the string "QSEPACK request" in the subject line. The access password will be forwarded to you automatically. Note that students, especially, are welcome as QSEPACK reviewers and beta-testers.
This review access is provided on a collegial basis, so please don't post the manuscript publicly or broadcast it indiscriminately.
QSEPACK 1.0 (including the beta-release version described here) is released under GPL 3.0.
Unpack the tarball and follow the instructions in the README file.
The resulting MATLAB output should end with a summary like this:
********************************************************************************
Summary of validation and testing of the QSEPACK 1.0b Template
Library
for the environment"MATLAB 7.0.4.352 (R14) Service Pack 2" on a
"MAC"
* The QSEPACK 1.0b routines appear to be operating
correctly.
* The test case is a matrix-vector product for a 100000 X
100000 metric
- The gain in matrix-vector product speed is a factor of
180.6.
- The gain in metric storage efficiency is a factor of
234.0.

An email account of your experiences with QSEPACK 1.0 would be very welcome, especially an account of any difficulties you encounter, together with a copy of the above summary information. These should be addressed to John Sidles.
