UltraDark.jl: A Julia package for simulation of cosmological scalar fields

Abstract: UltraDark.jl is a Julia package for the simulation of cosmological scalar fields. Scalar fields are proposed solutions to two of the fundamental questions in cosmology: the nature of dark matter and the universe's initial conditions. Modeling their dynamics requires solving the Gross-Pitaevskii-Poisson equations, which is analytically challenging. This makes simulations essential to understanding the dynamics of cosmological scalar fields. UltraDark.jl is an open, performant and user friendly option for solving these equations numerically.
