Why I Use Julia For Quantum Physics
summary
Claims Julia replaces the two‑language workflow by letting simulation, analysis and job submission live in one‑language solution; tensor‑network code uses native high‑rank tensors and LAPACK eigencalls via Hermitian type tags; parallel HDF5 and native CUDA kernels run on clusters (Celeste‑scale tests on ~10,000 nodes are cited); documentation examples run as doctests and unit tests catch constructor bugs, while performance can stall on type inference hot spots.
