TimeEvolvingMPO

A Python 3 package to efficiently compute non-Markovian open quantum systems.

This open source project aims to facilitate versatile numerical tools to efficiently compute the dynamics of quantum systems that are possibly strongly coupled to a structured environment. It allows to conveniently apply the so called time evolving matrix product operator method (TEMPO) [1], as well as the process tensor TEMPO method (PT-TEMPO) [2].
