Hello everyone,

My name is Phil LeMaitre and I am a recent Master of Science in Physics graduate from the University of Waterloo in Canada, with 4+ years of experience using Python for scientific computing. My two largest projects consisted of developing a program to solve the relativistic hydrodynamic equations for a neutron star model and building an orbital-free density functional program from scratch to model neutral atoms. Of these two projects, it is the second one where I gained the most exposure to SymPy, using it mostly in a hybrid capacity for data visualization and extended precision calculations; although I did familiarize myself with many more features that I didn't end up using.

My interests are almost exclusively physics related, so I tend to lean more towards functions and algorithms used in solving physical problems (e.g. SymPy physics module). My research experience is based mostly in quantum chemistry and polymer self-consistent field theory, as well as some general relativity. My research interests however, are at the intersection of quantum foundations, relativistic quantum information, and information geometry.

I am eager to help contribute to SymPy and the rest of the Python ecosystem, as it has been a staple in my scientific career thus far, so I look forward to working with everyone.

All the best,

Phil

Hi Phil,

The quantum physics modules in SymPy have been without a maintainer for some time. So we surely welcome anyone that would like to help work on it.

Welcome. Here is some intro information on contributing: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/introduction-to-contributing

Hi Jason,

I just took a quick look at the quantum physics module and there are definitely areas that I could contribute to. Thanks for the suggestion!

Phil
