I am studying quantum mechanics for the first time, and I would love to have some software dedicated to solving quantum mechanics problems to make my life easyer.

AFAIK Cadabra is the only free software dedicated to this:

I will take some time to get familiarized with it, and eventually would like to make a sage interface to it.

That would be great!

At this point cadabra doesn't have manipulation methods for scalar expressions.

They have been considering making an interface to some scalar cas like Maxima or SymPy. But I think Sage would be a much better choice for them (perhaps they don't know about it).

I agree, Sage would be a good fit--you should ping them about it. If they shipped a Python interface, you could use it from Sage or sympy or plain Python.

So I suspect we might find a welcoming attitude if we ask for help to develop a cadabra-sage interface.

Is there some other people who work with quantum mechanics that might be interested in this? As I said I am only starting with quantum mechanics (loving it) so most of the stuff cadabra does remain obscure to me.

I've always wanted to learn more about quantum mechanics, but I'm in the middle of writing a thesis so wouldn't be able to help you out.
