Yes, I've seen the ideas page, I was curious about the current stage of the symbolic quantum computing module. > Have you done any work in quantum computing?

I haven't done any work in quantum computing. I have a background in physics and have recently (past 3 months) began to study quantum computing and quantum complexity theory after the quantum information courses on Stanford's youtube channel, Scott Aaronson's lectures from MIT and this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quantum-Computing-Computer-Scientists-Yanofsky/dp/0521879965/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300734478&sr=8-1 I am very interested in the field and intend on pursuing it. Specifically I was interested in implementing basic quantum algorithms (Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover search algorithm, Shor's factoring algorithm) as well as quantum error correction. I am also fascinated by quantum adiabatic algorithms and would like to implement one. > Unfortunately we don't have much in terms of documentation yet (we are > working on it).
