QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python) is open-source software designed for simulating "the dynamics of open quantum systems." So far, it has been useful for experimenting with the time-evolution of unitary operators and implementing algorithms. Software installation instructions can be found here .

Classical and Quantum Computation
An excellent resource for learning about quantum computation. Prior experience with coordinate-free linear algebra is useful, but not required.
-
Quantum Computation and Quantum Information
This is a standard reference book that is highly regarded by many. It gives more details than some other books, but sometimes details can be distracting.
-
Linear Algebra for Quantum Computation
This is an appendix from Quantum Walks and Search Algorithms by Renato Portugal. It gives a concise but sufficient presentation of the coordinate-free linear algbera used in quantum computation.
-
Algebras, Lattices, Varieties Volume I
A good introduction to universal algebra concepts, written in a very approachable way. Chapters 1 and 2 cover much of the required background material for the seminar. Note that this is the older 1987 edition. There is a newer 2018 edition.

JB Nation's Notes on Lattice Theory
Notes on order theory and lattice theory by a leader in the field.
