jaxion 0.0.7

A differentiable simulation library for fuzzy dark matter in JAX

jaxion

A simple JAX-powered simulation library for numerical experiments of fuzzy dark matter, stars, gas + more!

Author: Philip Mocz (@pmocz)

Jaxion is built for multi-GPU scalability and is fully differentiable. It is a high-performance JAX-based simulation library for modeling fuzzy dark matter alongside stars, gas, and cosmological dynamics. Being differentiable, Jaxion can seamlessly integrate with pipelines for inverse-problems, inference, optimization, and coupling to ML models.

Jaxion is the simpler companion project to differentiable astrophysics code Adirondax

Install Jaxion

Install with:

pip install jaxion

or, for GPU support, use:
