Cadabra is a computer algebra system designed specifically for the solution of problems encountered in classical field theory, quantum field theory and string theory.
The first version of Cadabra was developed around 2001 for computing higher-derivative string theory correction to supergravity.[2][3]
Released under the GNU General Public License, Cadabra is free software.
Cadabra has extensive functionality for
Clifford algebras and Fierz transformations, implicit coordinate dependence, multiple index types and many more. The input format is a subset of TeX. Both a command-line and a graphical interface
are available.
A
canonicalisation.[4]
