+        QuTiP is open-source software for simulating the dynamics of
+        open quantum systems. The QuTiP library depends on the
+        excellent Numpy and Scipy numerical packages. In addition,
+        graphical output is provided by Matplotlib. QuTiP aims to
+        provide user-friendly and efficient numerical simulations of a
+        wide variety of Hamiltonians, including those with arbitrary
+        time-dependence, commonly found in a wide range of physics
+        applications such as quantum optics, trapped ions,
+        superconducting circuits, and quantum nanomechanical
+        resonators.
