However, things will in part depend on how well you convince me in your proposal that you have the requisite mathematical background and maturity to tackle this. Since this is primarily a coding program, I expect that a relatively small amount of time during the actual GSoC period is devoted to learning the necessary material. > PS: I have send an request to tracker to start solving tickets but it has > not > been approved.

[sage-gsoc] Re: [GSOC] -> Lie superalgebras
Dear Tiberiu, While I am not an expert on quantum computing, nor do I know the full reach of Lie superalgebras, I am unaware of how quantum computing and Lie superalgebras are related. Now Lie superalgebras have strong connections with quantum field theory, that is far beyond the scope of what I was thinking and would likely be something that would be built upon the framework developed here at a much later date. In fact, I'm not sure how much we can even compute using Lie algebras and QFT/CFT. I believe this project needs is also someone who fully understands linear algebra and has experience with representation theory (of algebras) in order to be successful. In particular, most of the algorithms are build around linear algebra. I would prefer someone who has seen graded algebras and/or Lie (super)algebras in some from as well. Now I believe you need a strong background in linear algebra for quantum computing, what your proposal will need to do more so is convince me that you have the representation theory and algebra knowledge to be successful.
