Thank you for your reply!
At some level we are making sympy+python a QCL. The core of this is
already done and working quite well, but there is a ton left to do.
Have you looked at the ideas page:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2011-Ideas
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? There are a number of
ideas there, but the work will require a solid knowledge of quantum
theory and quantum information science. What specific topics are of
interest to you.
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). The best thing to do is to download sympy and start
to play with it. Also, for learning quantum computing, I highly
recommend Mermin's book:

Thank you, I'll look into it.
Respectfully,
Alexandru Gheorghiu
