Hi Tilman. You're definitely welcome to contribute. As Oscar noted, one of the biggest challenges for the quantum module right now is that there are no active maintainers of it. As such, your pull requests may take a while to review. I don't want to discourage you, but do be aware of this. If your university project requires the code to be merged into the repo, that may be a challenge. There has been some uncertainty in the past about what to do about the quantum module, since there are so few SymPy developers who can maintain it, There have been some proposals to move it out into a separate library, but that hasn't happened. That's not relevant for your contributions. It is for the time being still a part of SymPy, but it's something to be aware of. The central issue is the lack of understanding of the underlying physics by most SymPy contributors. Unfortunately, I also fall into this camp, so I can't comment on your proposed improvement.
I would also suggest looking at external libraries, such as QNET (https://github.com/mabuchilab/QNET), which uses SymPy. They may be more developed than SymPy's quantum module. Another suggestion would be to use the blame functionality of git/GitHub to find people who have contributed to the module in the past, and ask them if they would be willing to help review your work. I know Ondrej Certik has said that he could help review quantum work. There may be others who are able to as well.
