    Programs Dual masters degrees beneficial?

    Greetings PF. I was thinking about going for a dual masters degree with one in physics and one in mathematics. Note that I'm not American, I'm currently in Europe and as such I'd guess it's almost like a double major. To me it felt like such a couple of degrees were a natural choice, but...

    Mathematica Parallel calculations in Mathematica

    Hello PF. I wanted to optimize time expenditure on some calculation that I'm doing. A natural way to do this can be by computing parts in parallel. Now when I say "parts" I don't mean that some computations are wholly independent of other computations. My situation is that I have a bunch of...

    Graduate 'State-of-the-art' in regard to temperatures of atomic cooling

    Some, not all. But most date back a bit, and the more recent ones are quite narrow in their content. Didn't see any recent review article or the likes.

    Graduate 'State-of-the-art' in regard to temperatures of atomic cooling

    Hello PF. I thought this would be a good place to ask around for information pertaining to "where we are at" in controlled creation of ultra-cold environments for atoms; for example, how cold an environment can we actually make today, etc.? I am especially interested in the BEC phenomena. When I...
