Lab instruction

You can either run the Jupyter Lab for the lab locally or use the Google Colab online.

• To run the lab locally, it is recommended that you create a virtual environment with Conda and install relevant libraries. Once Conda is installed, run the following in the command line.

(base) $ create -n qcphys python=3.11
(base) $ conda activate qcphys
(qcphys) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

• To run the lab online with Colab, you just need run the beginning pip commands to install the relevant libraries. It should take 2-3 minutes.

The lab solution is posted here.
