AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

QuTiP 5 is a Python-based framework for simulating the dynamics of open and closed quantum systems. It provides tools for deterministic, stochastic, and steady-state modeling, including support for Lindblad dynamics, quantum trajectories, and specialized methods like Floquet theory and HEOM. The skill emphasizes rigorous model validation, requiring explicit definitions of units, subsystem ordering, and numerical convergence checks to ensure physical accuracy in quantum dynamics simulations.

What it does

  • Simulates quantum system evolution using deterministic and stochastic solvers.
  • Calculates steady-state solutions and spectral properties of quantum models.
  • Provides tools for auditing state validity, including Hermiticity and trace checks.
  • Supports advanced quantum dynamics methods such as HEOM, Floquet, and PIQS.
  • Facilitates reproducible research through environment pinning and model validation scripts.
  • Enables analysis of quantum states via entropy, purity, and distance measures.

When to use it

  • When modeling finite-dimensional quantum systems or quantum optics.
  • When performing open-system dynamics simulations under Markovian or non-Markovian assumptions.
  • When you need to verify numerical convergence for quantum dynamics models.
  • When auditing the physical validity of density matrices or quantum states.
  • When investigating steady-state behavior or spectral properties of quantum systems.

Advantages

  • Comprehensive suite of solvers for diverse quantum dynamics scenarios.
  • Strong emphasis on physical model validation and numerical rigor.
  • Modular design supporting specialized physics methods.
  • Reproducible workflow integration using standard Python tooling.
  • Extensive documentation for core concepts and advanced methods.

Usage examples

“Simulate a two-level system with decay using mesolve.”
The agent will set up a Lindblad master equation simulation with a defined Hamiltonian, collapse operators, and time list, then return the population dynamics and solver statistics.
“Audit the validity of a density matrix.”
The agent will check the matrix for Hermiticity, trace normalization, and eigenvalue positivity, reporting any deviations from physical requirements.
“Calculate the steady state of a driven-dissipative system.”
The agent will compute the steady-state density matrix using the direct method and verify the result by calculating the residual norm of the Liouvillian.
“Run a convergence sweep for a quantum simulation.”
The agent will execute the simulation across varying parameters such as Fock dimension or time steps and report the impact on result stability.

QuTiP 5

Scope

Use QuTiP for finite-dimensional quantum mechanics, quantum optics, Lindblad dynamics, trajectories, weak-coupling Bloch-Redfield models, and specialized Floquet, HEOM, and permutational-invariance methods. It is not a hardware execution SDK. Circuit and control functionality moved to separate QuTiP family packages.

This skill targets QuTiP 5.3.1, released 2026-08-04. QuTiP 5.3 requires Python 3.11 or newer. Its required distributions are NumPy (>=1.23.2), SciPy (>=1.9.2, excluding 1.16.0 and 1.17.0), and packaging.

Reproducible uv snapshot

Create a dedicated environment and pin every direct distribution:

uv venv --python 3.11
uv pip install "qutip==5.3.1"

For plots:

uv pip install "qutip[graphics]==5.3.1"

Optional QuTiP family packages are independently versioned:

uv pip install "qutip-qip==0.4.2"
uv pip install "qutip-qtrl==0.2.0"
uv pip install "qutip-jax==0.1.1"
  • qutip-qip 0.4.2 (2026-06-23) is the production/stable circuit, gate, and noisy-device simulation package. Import from qutip_qip, not qutip.qip.

  • qutip-qtrl 0.2.0 (2026-06-23) provides GRAPE and CRAB quantum optimal control. It is not a trajectory viewer. Import from qutip_qtrl, not qutip.control; PyPI still classifies it pre-alpha.

  • qutip-jax 0.1.1 (2025-05-29) is the official JAX data backend for GPU and automatic-differentiation experiments. It is explicitly pre-alpha.

  • qutip-cupy is an official QuTiP-organization repository, but it has no PyPI release and its own README says it is not officially released. Do not put an unreleased Git install into a reproducible workflow.

Use a project lockfile or a hash-generating uv pip compile workflow when transitive dependency identity must also be frozen.

Core tests cover small native CPU systems with known solutions. Optional JAX checks cover CPU conversion/evolution and differentiation only; GPU/MPI, large HEOM hierarchies, and experimentally realistic physics are unvalidated. Snippets with placeholders such as H, rho0, or c_ops are illustrative fragments to adapt after defining a consistent model.

Non-negotiable model contract

Before solving, record:

  1. Units and convention. QuTiP equations normally set (\hbar=1). Hamiltonian entries are angular frequencies and rates have reciprocal-time units. A decay rate specified as 1/T1 needs no 2*pi factor. Convert cyclic frequency with (2\pi f); never mix Hz and rad/s.

  2. Subsystem order. tensor(A, B, C) fixes subsystem indices 0, 1, 2. Preserve that order in every state, operator, collapse channel, and partial trace. obj.ptrace([0, 2]) keeps those subsystems; it does not trace them.

  3. State validity. Check ket norm or density-matrix Hermiticity, unit trace, and eigenvalues above a stated negative tolerance. Tiny negative values may be numerical; material negativity invalidates a claimed state.

  4. Generator meaning. A Lindblad channel with rate gamma is represented by sqrt(gamma) * A, not gamma * A. Define what each rate measures. For example, sqrt(gamma_phi / 2) * sigmaz() gives coherence decay exp(-gamma_phi * t).

  5. Approximations. State rotating-wave, Born-Markov, secular, weak-coupling, bath-equilibrium, truncation, symmetry, and initial-factorization assumptions wherever used.

  6. Numerics. Justify Hilbert truncation, output grid, integration method, tolerances, trajectory count, and random seeds. Report result.stats.

  7. Convergence. Sweep every artificial cutoff: Fock dimension, time/frequency window and spacing, ODE tolerances, trajectories, Floquet harmonics, HEOM depth and bath exponents, or PIQS representation as applicable.

Qobj, dimensions, and tensor order

Prefer explicit imports and inspect both shape and structured dimensions:

from qutip import basis, qeye, sigmaz, tensor

psi = tensor(basis(2, 0), basis(3, 1))
z_on_first = tensor(sigmaz(), qeye(3))

assert psi.shape == (6, 1)
assert psi.dims == [[2, 3], [1]]
assert z_on_first.dims == [[2, 3], [2, 3]]
rho_first = psi.proj().ptrace(0)  # keep subsystem 0

Matrix shape alone is insufficient: two objects can both be 6-by-6 but encode different tensor factorizations. Read references/core_concepts.md before building composite, superoperator, or channel models.

Choose the solver by physics

Do not select a more specialized solver merely because it exists.

Deterministic open-system example

QuTiP 5.3 uses ordinary option dictionaries. e_ops, args, and options are keyword-only; the old mutable options object is gone.

import numpy as np
from qutip import basis, mesolve, sigmam, sigmaz

omega = 2.0
gamma = 0.15
tlist = np.linspace(0.0, 20.0, 401)
excited = basis(2, 0)

result = mesolve(
    0.5 * omega * sigmaz(),
    excited,
    tlist,
    c_ops=[np.sqrt(gamma) * sigmam()],
    e_ops={"sigma_z": sigmaz(), "excited": excited.proj()},
    options={
        "method": "adams",
        "atol": 1e-10,
        "rtol": 1e-8,
        "store_final_state": True,
        "normalize_output": False,
        "progress_bar": "",
    },
)

population = np.asarray(result.e_data["excited"])
assert np.max(np.abs(population - np.exp(-gamma * tlist))) < 2e-6
assert isinstance(result.stats, dict)

If the problem is stiff, compare bdf or lsoda; do not change an integrator without rerunning tolerance and invariant checks. QuTiP 5.3 also supports options={"matrix_form": True} in mesolve; benchmark and validate it before using it as a default.

Time-dependent systems

Prefer trusted Pythonic callables or numeric coefficient arrays. Do not create coefficient source strings from user input.

import numpy as np
from qutip import QobjEvo, sigmax, sigmaz

def envelope(t, amplitude, center, width):
    return amplitude * np.exp(-0.5 * ((t - center) / width) ** 2)

H = QobjEvo(
    [0.5 * sigmaz(), [sigmax(), envelope]],
    args={"amplitude": 0.2, "center": 5.0, "width": 1.0},
)
instantaneous_H = H(5.0)
H.arguments(amplitude=0.1)

The older f(t, args) coefficient signature is deprecated in 5.3 and is scheduled for removal in 5.5. See references/time_evolution.md.

For narrow pulses, the output tlist is not the adaptive integrator’s internal step schedule. Bound the solver’s max_step below half the narrowest pulse width, then reduce it further to check convergence of the pulse response. Tight relative/absolute tolerances alone can still miss a pulse sampled only in an idle region. See the QuTiP solver options.

Trajectories and stochastic solvers

import numpy as np
from qutip import basis, mcsolve, sigmam, sigmaz

tlist = np.linspace(0.0, 10.0, 201)
result = mcsolve(
    0.5 * sigmaz(),
    basis(2, 0),
    tlist,
    [np.sqrt(0.2) * sigmam()],
    e_ops=[basis(2, 0).proj()],
    ntraj=400,
    seeds=20260723,
    options={"keep_runs_results": False, "progress_bar": ""},
)

Report ntraj, result.seeds, uncertainty or repeated-seed sensitivity, and whether individual runs were retained. Reuse seeds=previous_result.seeds only when paired trajectories are intentional. ssesolve and smesolve use the boolean heterodyne argument, not legacy integer noise codes.

Steady states, spectra, and phase space

import numpy as np
from qutip import QFunc, liouvillian, operator_to_vector, qfunc, steadystate

rho_ss = steadystate(H, c_ops, method="direct")
residual = (liouvillian(H, c_ops) * operator_to_vector(rho_ss)).norm()
assert residual < 1e-9

xvec = np.linspace(-5.0, 5.0, 151)
Q_once = qfunc(rho_ss, xvec, xvec)
q_many = QFunc(xvec, xvec)
Q_again = q_many(rho_ss)
assert Q_once.shape == (len(xvec), len(xvec))

For wigner, qfunc, and QFunc, array element [j, k] corresponds to yvec[j], xvec[k]. In QuTiP 5.3, QFunc is initialized with fixed coordinates and called with a state; it has no .eval method. This skill never uses Python dynamic-code execution. Prefer plot_wigner, Result.plot_expect, or explicit Matplotlib axes as documented in references/visualization.md.

Direct spectrum is a stationary steady-state spectrum. An FFT of a finite correlation requires explicit checks for tail decay, timestep aliasing, frequency resolution, window sensitivity, and transform convention. See references/analysis.md.

Advanced boundaries

  • Import HEOM from qutip.solver.heom; the legacy QuTiP 4 nonmarkov HEOM namespace is stale.

  • Use FloquetBasis for modes and quasi-energies. Verify H(t + T) == H(t) numerically and sweep basis/truncation choices.

  • Access PIQS with from qutip import piqs. Dicke.pisolve is only the optimized diagonal-state/diagonal-Hamiltonian route; general Dicke-basis dynamics use the Liouvillian with mesolve.

  • brmesolve can violate positivity, especially without secularization. Check density-matrix eigenvalues over time.

  • QIP and optimal control are extension-package concerns. Never present local simulation as quantum-hardware execution.

See references/advanced.md for HEOM, Floquet, PIQS, stochastic, and extension boundaries.

Safe local CLIs

All bundled tools are local-only, emit strict JSON, reject non-finite JSON, and never load pickle files or executable model code. The model-input validator also rejects unknown keys; result audits check their documented report fields. Simulation imports are lazy, so every --help works without QuTiP installed.

ScriptPurpose
scripts/qobj_model_validator.pyValidate bounded Qobj model JSON, dimensions, states, rates, and role compatibility
scripts/two_level_simulation.pyRun a bounded two-level Lindblad or jump simulation

  --decay-rate 0.2 --t-final 10 --time-points 201 \
  --output two-level.json
python skills/qutip/scripts/result_audit.py two-level.json

Completion checklist

  • Record units, (\hbar), tensor order, initial state, channels, and model assumptions.

  • Validate Hermiticity, norm/trace, positivity, dimensions, and generator units.

  • Pin QuTiP and direct extensions; record platform, Python, NumPy, and SciPy.

  • Inspect result options and stats; do not assume states were stored.

  • Perform cutoff, grid, tolerance/integrator, and stochastic convergence sweeps.

  • Save portable numeric/configuration summaries as JSON or text. Do not load untrusted QuTiP object/result files because object serialization can execute code.

Requirements and compatibility

Works with: Claude Code, Claude apps, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Kiro, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Roo Code, JetBrains Junie, Factory Droid, Devin (ex-Windsurf), Mistral Vibe, OpenHands, Letta

“Works with” means the tool reads the open Agent Skills format; a skill written for one tool may use features others lack.

Needs: Needs network access, Needs Python

The author says: Requires Python 3.11+, uv, and qutip==5.3.1 for executable simulations. Bundled planners and all script help run with the Python standard library; plotting requires the graphics extra. No network service or credentials are used.

Security

What our scanner noticed· Low risk

  • Instructions that use the network
  • Scripts that your agent may run

This skill includes scripts that your agent may run. Read them before you use it.

A static scan is not a guarantee. Skills are third-party content: review a skill before you let an agent use it.
