I would be more interesting to me to learn some cool algorithm and implement it, though I don't know anything about Quantum Mechanics. :)
I could also very easily extend my project from last year and spend the summer implementing ODE solvers. There are enough methods not implemented to fill several summers, but I would have to learn them on my own, since I haven't taken any ODE courses since last Spring and I already implement most of what I learned there. But, ideally, I would like to apply what I have learned in Abstract Algebra, and also it would be better to go this way because most people have not taken such a course. Also, abstract algebra is an area of mathematics that I find particularly interesting, so learning some cool algorithms that apply it would be the most interesting to me. I probably am not the one to do it, but I think we should try to get someone to do the cython core for a project.
