Qiskit Dynamics: A Python package for simulating thetime dynamics of quantum systems

Abstract

QiskitDynamics is an open-source Python library for numerically simulating the time dynamics of finite-dimensional quantum systems.The goal of the package is to provide flexible configuration of the numerical methods used for simulation: general tools for transforming models of quantum systems for more efficient simulation (rotating frames and the rotating wave approximation), choice of array representations (dense vs. sparse, and different array libraries), and access to different types of underlying solvers (standard ODE vs. geometric solvers).The package also contains advanced functionality for computing time-dependent perturbation theory expressions used in robust quantum control optimization (Haas et al.,
