what kind of research do you want to be involved with?
I would suggest learning C++ if you are wanting to impress, java is more of a stepping stone in learning how to program (although java has its benefits, C++ is miles more suited to scientific applications).
depending on your heatsink, the idle and load temps are going to vary.
I have a Q9550 and it idles around 30deg, with max load around 40-50
I'd also recommend HWMonitor, but you'll probably notice a difference in the stated temperatures from your individual cores and from the system CPU temp...
I would advise you first decide what field of physics you would like to go into, and then find out which universities are involved with which experiments you are interested in, and then enquire there!
Hi, I am basically trying to put a wavefunction into the Time Dependant Schrodinger Eqn, as shown in my lecture notes, but i don't understand one of the steps taken...
|\right \Psi (t)\rangle=\sum c_n (t) |\right u_n\rangle e^-(\frac{E_n t}{\hbar})
into
i\hbar \frac{\delta}{\delta t}|\right...
