So I've been reading David Bohm's original paper on the alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of hidden variables, just out of interest. In the 4th section he presents a complex function ψ in terms of R and S, and then (using the time dependent Schrödinger equation, TISE)...

Interesting, Is there a way to do this in C++? I've been learning this stuff on my own so there's many C++ commands, and tricks that I haven't been exposed to yet.

Wow, such a simple mistake. It works now, thanks a lot!

So I'm trying to teach myself C++ programming and I'm having trouble writing a password program. Essentially I want to program to ask the user to input a password, and then compare that input with the correct password. If the user input matches the password I want the program to output a message...

My background is in physics so I have a very basic understanding of circuit design. I was just wondering, If someone were to design a printed circuit board (from scratch) how do they know that it will function the way it should? and also how do they know that the printed circuit board will...

Thanks, I actually haven't thought about that.

Thanks for the reply, out of curiosity did you have any engineering or computer science experience under your belt in the form of lab research or internships when you applied to those graduate programs? (basically: what did you mean by finagling? haha) I was just asking because although I do...

Thanks for responding. I think I see what you're saying: A physics background prepares one to be able to understand anything they come across in the future based on the principles that they learned. Like you mentioned, I could learn almost anything by reading up on it and I would be happy to do...

Ever since high school I have always been interested in technology and hoped that one day I would be working in a field where I would get to build new gadgets and technologies (I had a particular interest in robotics). When it came time for college I was told by my teacher that physics was a...

Hi Everyone! I have been coming on this site for about a year now and it's been so interesting and helpful, I'm glad to finally be a part of it and I look forward to helping others, and talking about science.
