The spin work would be extremely interesting. Probably the best thing to do with this is to fork sympy and start to play with the spin code. To get started (even before you apply), I would simple start writing tests for the spin module (see quantum/tests/test_spin.py. The module does not have many tests and they basic ones won't be too difficult to write. I am more than willing to work with you to narrow your application. > While all coursework I've taken has been in C, all the data analysis I've > done in relation to my research, including work in PyROOT for my honors > thesis, has been in python.

If you have taken a grad level quantum course, you should be set from the Physics perspective. Much of the things to do in the spin module are grad level topics like general angular momentum coupling, Wigner-Eckart theorem, spherical and cartesian tensors, etc. > I've already begun lurking in the IRC channel, my nick is flacjacket if > anyone wants to say hello.
