hello
i am new to maxima and actually looking for a cas that is capable of
calculating matrix exponentials (exp(iHt)) like they appear in time
evolution operations in quantum mechanics. can maxima do this for me.
when i tried myself i.e.: exp(%I*I_z);
with: I_z:matrix([1,0],[0,-1]);
i get: [ %I ]
[ %E 1 ]
[ - %I ]
[ 1 %E ]
but expect: [ %I ]
[ %E 0 ]
[ - %I ]
[ 0 %E ]
thanks in advance
matthias
