New release

We are excited to announce the release of Version 2.3 of NLSE, our Python package for computing the Non-linear Schrödinger equation (also known as the Gross-Pitaevskii equation). This version offers efficient computation on both CPU and GPU, with a simple API. Visit: https://lnkd.in/eMciJBdS

The JOSS paper is online ! This realease is published in the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) and is available at https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.06607

Great job Tangui Aladjidi and Clara Piekarski !

Abstract:

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a general nonlinear equation used to model the propagation of light in nonlinear media. This equation is mathematically isomorphic to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) (Pitaevskij & Stringari, 2016) describing the evolution of cold atomic ensembles. Recently, the growing field of quantum fluids of light (Carusotto & Ciuti, 2013) has proven a fruitful testbed for several fundamental quantum and classical phenomena such as superfluidity (Michel et al., 2018) or turbulence (Baker-Rasooli et al.,2023). Providing a flexible, modern and performant framework to solve these equations is crucial to model realistic experimental scenarios.
