QUBIT4MATLAB V3.0: A program package for quantum information science and quantum optics for MATLAB Original Research Article

A program package for MATLAB is introduced that helps calculations in quantum information science and quantum optics. It has commands for the following operations: (i) Reordering the qudits of a quantum register, computing the reduced state of a quantum register. (ii) Defining important quantum states easily. (iii) Formatted input and output for quantum states and operators. (iv) Constructing operators acting on given qudits of a quantum register and constructing spin chain Hamiltonians. (v) Partial transposition, matrix realignment and other operations related to the detection of quantum entanglement. (vi) Generating random state vectors, random density matrices and random unitaries.
