Python For Quantum Mechanics

Week 3: Tutorial

Exercise 1: Making a matrix with a function

Create a function that returns a square matrix of 0.0+0.0js, with a specified size.

Using the above function or otherwise, create a function that returns the identity matrix for a specific size.

Exercise 2: Making Matrix Operations

Create a function that takes a list as input and finds it’s matrix transpose.

Make a similar function that takes a list as input and finds it’s matrix hermitian(transpose-conjugate).

Exercise 3: Making binary matrix functions

Now, using the above functions, create a function that takes two lists as inputs, and returns a matrix of their sum.

Similarly create a function that takes two matrices as inputs, and returns their difference.

Similarly create a function that takes in a scalar and a list as inputs, and returns their product as a matrix.

Excercise 4: Vector Class

Make a vector class. Add any attributes or methods that you think would be useful.
