Is it possible to modify the source code of a qutip object like Bloch?

[Joan Arrow]

I would like to change the axis labels to display  |0> & |1> on the z axis (as is usual) and |+> & | - > instead of x and y. I found the relevent section of the source code in the documentation () but am relatively inexperienced with python and do not know how or whether it is possible to modify (or add to) these conventions.

Thanks for the help!

Hey Joan,

You can easily do something like this:

b= Bloch( figsize=[10,10])
b.xlabel = ['$\\left|+\\right>$', ' ']
b.ylabel = ['$\\left|+i \\right> $', ' ']
b.xlpos = [1.1,-1.1]
b.zlabel = ['      $\\left|0\\right>$','$\\left|1\\right> $']
b.zlpos = [1.075,-1.08]

The above code snippet will include a |0>,|1>, |+>, |+i> in your Bloch sphere.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Gaurav
