I will present PauliStrings.jl, a package for quantum many-body simulations, which performs fast operations on the Pauli group by encoding Pauli strings in binary. When combined with various truncation methods, this representation provides performance advantages for solving certain kinds of problems.
PauliStrings.jl also allows for symbolic calculations, is a natural platform to take advantage of symmetries and is a fun and pedagogical tool to visualize quantum algebra.
