philosophy

arch should be

everything to everyone in quantum photonics
clear, concise, powerful

Dependencies

Python 3.9 is required.

The non built-in packages required for this project are found in requirements.txt and can are installed as usual with pip install -r requirements.txt

There is currently a bug which requires the use of sympy 1.7, rather than the most recent 1.8.

open problems

Clocked
Time-independent
- works for some optics, not others
Synchronous

- time keeping tricky
Continuous time
