    How Does the Ising Model Exhibit Diamagnetism to Paramagnetism Transition in 2D?

    I'm doing a computational physics project where I'm looking at the Ising model in 2D and external magnetics field. I start with all the spins in same directions my grid is 30x30 and I use periodic boundry conditions. I start with all the spins in the same direction (+1). I do about 150000...

    How Can I Pursue a Career in Quantum Computing?

    I do not know a lot about quantum computers, but I understand that that the very first of them are just an engineering problem now. But these computers nowhere near being something the average joe can buy. So I would think that at this point in time if you are interested in quantum computers...

    Loosing interest (last year of undergrad)

    Getting rid of the perfectionism is really a tricky thing. I have learned to control in many ways the thoughts that cause the anxiety. Like thinking about failure. But it's a constant battle because the idea that it's alright to fail sometimes or even just be average is something I find...

    Loosing interest (last year of undergrad)

    Hi, I was hoping for just about any advice in my situation, to gain some perspective. I'm now on my last year of bachelors degree in physics and I feel that I'm loosing interest in studying physics anymore. This begin when I started therapy for an anxiety disorder. The therapy has been...

    Fortran What is the Best Fortran Compiler for OSX?

    I understand the ifort is free for Linux, and also "not very expensive" for OSX if you know where to look...

    Fortran What is the Best Fortran Compiler for OSX?

    I use Ifort, it works well and pretty easy to install if I remember correctly.

    Fortran Real vs. double precision in Fortran 90?

    Hey, I'm trying to write my very first Fortran program. I'm a physics student and I don't know a lot about computer science and since I'm new to Fortran I'm still having problems with finding answers to my questions on my own. So..please bear with me. I'm doing heavy numerical calculations...

    Four-point Gaussian quadrature rule

    Thank you so much! This is a cool method of doing numerical integrations, I wonder why they didn't teach this in my numerical analysis class.

    Four-point Gaussian quadrature rule

    I need to use this on a integral of two dimensions x and x'. But I figured that I would just use it first on x and then look at that result as a function of x' and use it again. I don't really care for a theoretical derivation I just want the formula. I'm trying to calculate the kernel of a...

    Four-point Gaussian quadrature rule

    I need to use the four-point Gaussian quadrature rule to do some intense numerical calculations. Could anyone link to this page where it's written out explicitly over an [a,b] interval. I haven't been able to find it, I'm trying to derive it now but it's crucial that I'm 100% correct. I haven't...

    Discrete state coupled to a continuum

    I actually just realized how this might work, but please leave an reply if you have an better idea or I'm wrong.

    Discrete state coupled to a continuum

    Homework Statement This is not so much a homework problem but a part of a project I'm working on. So in just a few words; what I have (at time t=0) is a discrete state (half simple harmonic oscillator) connected to a wire with continuous states. These states are coupled by a complex...

    Spin hamiltionian with respect to certain basis

    Homework Statement A particle with spin 1/2 and magnetic moment is in a magnetic field B=B_0(1,1,0). At time t=0 the particle has the spin 1/2 \hbar in the z direction. i) Write the hamiltonian with respect to the basis that is defined by the eigenvectors of \widehat{S}_z Homework...
