QuaCCAToo - Quantum Colour Centres Analysis Toolbox — •Anmol Singh, Lucas Tsunaki, Sergei Trofimov, and Boris Naydenov — Department Spins in Energy Conversion and Quantum Information Science (ASPIN), Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH, Hahn-Meitner-Platz 1, 14109 Berlin, Germany

Colour centres are prominent in different fields of quantum technologies: sensing, computing, communication, and cryptography due to their relative stability, and manoeuvrability. This attracts the attention of an increasing number of academic researchers, students and industry members. A free and open platform allowing one to quickly visualise and simulate the behaviour of these systems would help in further advancement of the field not just in a research setting but also as a pedagogical tool. We present here, an alpha version of QuaCCAToo, a set of Python modules for performing simulations and analysis of NV centres in diamond. We focus initially on NV centres in diamond, but it can be easily extended for other colour centres, too. Python was chosen for its relative ease of use in numerics and the rich ecosystem of scientific libraries. The calculations are done on top of optimised pathways provided by QuTip and NumPy.
