Simplify expressions

[albertomercurio]

Hello,

I want to find a simplify method for this simple test code

using QuantumCumulants

# Define hilbert space
hf = FockSpace(:cavity)
ha = NLevelSpace(:atom,(:g,:e))
h = hf ⊗ ha

# Define the fundamental operators
@qnumbers a::Destroy(h) σ::Transition(h,:g,:e)

σm = σ
σp = σ'
sz = σp * σm - σm * σp

sz

which returns (-1+σee+σee) instead of (-1+2*σee). Is there a way to simplify it?

Hi @albertomercurio, Yes you can use QuantumCumulants.simplify(sz). I will export this function at the next release that you can use simplify(sz).

I'm using the stable version, but it says that QuantumCumulants.simplify doen't exist. Is it present only in the dev release?

[ChristophHotter]

Sorry my mistake. using Symbolics and then simplify(sz) should work.

If you do average(sz), it would also simplify the expression (but with expectation values in the expression).

Perfect, it works perfectly! Thanks.
