In this first session, we will cover the following topics:

• Introduction to the Journal Qlub, including its objectives and structure.

• Presentation and discussion of the paper: "Realization of a Laughlin State of Two Rapidly Rotating Fermions."

• Overview of useful research tools, such as Zotero, to support your academic and professional development.

In this session, we'll have an introductory workshop on Julia and its applications in quantum science, with a focus on the library QuantumOptics.jl, which is particularly useful for problems in quantum information and quantum optics.

To ensure that everyone can follow along, here's a quick guide on how to install Julia and set it up for use in Jupyter Notebooks:

Installing Julia

1. Download Julia:

   • Go to the official website: https://julialang.org/downloads/

   • Choose the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

2. Install Julia:

   • Follow the installation instructions for your system.

   • Ensure that Julia is added to your system’s PATH during installation (on Windows, this is an option during installation).

3. Set up Jupyter Notebooks for Julia:

   • Open Julia and enter the package manager by typing ] in the Julia REPL.

   • Install the required packages with:

using Pkg

Pkg.add("IJulia")  

3. • Once installed, you can launch Jupyter using:

   using IJulia

    notebook()  

• This should open Jupyter in your web browser, where you can create Julia notebooks.

4. Install usefull packages for the exercice:

using Pkg

Pkg.add("QuantumOptics")

Pkg.add("PyPlot") 

Pkg.add("Statistics")
