Advanced Quantum Simulations with QuTiP: a gateway to understanding anomalies in hydrogen loaded metals

Matt Lilley presents on simulations with QuTiP–open-source tools that offer a “computational workbench” for quantum physics research, helping scientists dive into complex simulations. The goal? A rational design for LENR using Python codes to simulate interactions and dynamics.

Abstract

This presentation showcases a series of advanced computational notebooks implemented with QuTiP, a Python library that has been developed for simulating the dynamics of quantum systems. The notebooks build on the work of Peter Hagelstein on nuclear excitation transfer in hydrogen-loaded metals. They illustrate key principles such as the time evolution of quantum systems that can describe energy transfer between nuclear states mediated by shared oscillator modes. The notebooks demonstrate known quantum principles that have been argued to cause the occurrence of effects consistent with anomalies reported in the low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) literature.  

These computational notebooks represent a first step toward systematically and rigorously  modelling anomalies in hydrogen-loaded metals. The goal is to continue evolving such simulations from describing idealised systems to increasingly realistic metal-hydrogen lattices and their dynamics. As such we expect this effort to  represent the foundation of a future engineering and technology development branch of the LENR field.
