  Abstract: A presentation and discussion of interactive computing activities aligned with an upper-division quantum mechanics course. These activities are written in python and use the Jupyter Notebook platform and the Quantum Toolbox in Python (QuTiP) software package. This talk provides an introduction to both Jupyter and QuTiP in the context of undergraduate physics. The activities presented include a mix of shorter in-class work and longer lab-length projects. No programming experience is expected of students in this course, instead it is based on the idea of coding across the curriculum: Students can be given challenge exercises and explore at their own pace and experience level.
