Hi Rhythm, It is great that you're interested in doing a project in the quantum module. For the project you mentioned, there is definitely a summers worth of systems to be implemented, especially if there are systems which would require some new quantum machinery. To see what I mean by that, note the difference between physics.hydrogen and physics.quantum.piab, where the particle in a box wavefunctions utilize some of the tools built into the quantum module (tho I think more could still be done using Wavefunctions, as defined in physics.quantum.state). To get enough systems to fill out a GSoC, you will probably need to have quantum mechanics proficiency at least at an upper division level, out of a text comparable to Griffiths, but that mainly comes down to if you can come up with a rough set of systems to implement and what new tools, if any, you'd need to complete the task.
For fleshing out a project, this email list is probably your best resource for questions. I could give you some pointers on navigating the quantum module and help you find the things you should be looking at when drafting a project, but there are other developers with more experience both with framing GSoC projects and with the quantum module.
