Cadabra is a computer algebra system designed specifically for the solution of problems encountered in quantum field theory and string theory.

The first version of Cadabra has been developped around 2001 to for computing higher-derivative string theory correction to supergravity[1][2].

Released under the GNU General Public License, Cadabra is free software.

Cadabra has extensive functionality for tensor polynomial simplification including multi-term symmetries, fermions and anti-commuting variables, 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.
