I'm searching a book, or a place on the net where I'll find tons of examples of numerical problems in physics (mainly quantum mechanics) written in Python.
I have tons of books about Python, but none have good examples on problems like tunneling, solving Schrodinger eq for various potentials, scattering...
So if anyone can recommend sth I'd appreciate it ^^
I found these books on amazon with the search query:
python computational physics
1) A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (http://www.amazon.com/Scientific-Programming-Computational-Science-Engineering/dp/3642024742/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1291756005&sr=8-2) by Hans Petter Langtangen
2) Simulating the Physical World: Hierarchical Modeling from Quantum Mechanics to Fluid Dynamics (http://www.amazon.com/Simulating-Physical-World-Hierarchical-Mechanics/dp/0521835275/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1291756005&sr=8-3-fkmr2) by Herman J. C. Berendsen

Google also has some nice links when you search for:
python computational physics

Although not in Python, Paul Falstad's Math and Physics Java Applets (http://falstad.com/mathphysics.html) may be interesting for you. For example, you can download the source code for his 1-D Quantum Mechanics Applet.
I'll check that out. Thanks :)
