Abstract
We present pyBoLaNO, a Python symbolic package based on SymPy to quickly normal-order any polynomial in bosonic ladder operators regarding the canonical commutation relations, using Blasiak's formulae. By extension, this package offers the normal ordering of commutators of any two polynomials in bosonic ladder operators and the evaluation of the normal-ordered expectation value evolution in the Lindblad master equation framework for open quantum systems. The package supports multipartite descriptions and multiprocessing. We describe the package's workflow, show examples of use, and discuss its computational performance. All codes and examples are available on our GitHub repository.

Nature of problem: Normal ordering involving bosonic ladder operators regarding the canonical commutation relations.
Solution method: Blasiak's formulae for the normal ordering of an arbitrary monomial in bosonic ladder operators regarding the canonical commutation relations. Symbolic programming is fully provided by SymPy.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
