    Python Model an FPGA FM Radio Demodulator in Python

    I am trying to model an FPGA FM radio demodulator in Python. I will have a mixer that converts an FM channel to 36MHz IF, and I plan on undersampling this IF signal. If in the digital world (my Python model), I have a high sample rate FM signal at 1.2MHz, should I be able to resample to a...

    Why Does the Hopping Term in the Hubbard Model Project to Zero at Half-Filling?

    This is a question from Altland and Simons book "Condensed Matter Field Theory". In the second exercise on page 64, the book claims that if we define \hat P_s, \hat P_d to be the operators that project onto the singly and doubly occupied subspaces respectively, then at half-filling the...

    Need guidance on Proof theory and Model theory

    Hi, I'm planning to start my Master programme this december. I am very interested in philosophy of logic. And i am inclined to read more proof theory rather than model theory. And i really wanted to engage in proof theory as my first reading materials towards mathematical logic area...

    De Broglie wavelength - model for comparing photons and electrons

    Hello, I'm thinking about the wavelength of a freely propagating photon vs. a freely propagating electron. For the photon, we have the classical picture of oscillating E and B fields perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and we call the wavelength of the photon, which can be...

    Understanding Kaon Notations on Chart Before Standard Model

    I was looking at this old chart (before the standard model was completed) and this thing with Kaon notations was confusing. So I understand that the top right number on a particle denotes charge, but what is subscript? Does that denote the number, as in which exact particle it refers to? Because...

    Renormalizability of the Standard Model

    Why is it such a big deal? According to the "modern" (Wilsonian) viewpoint, non-renormalizability is not such a "sickness" of a quantum field theory, as long as one adopts the viewpoint that the theory is not UV complete, aka, the theory is simply an effective field theory with a finite cut-off...

    Would it be possible to build a model tokamak

    Would it be possible to just get a swirling plasma in an acrylic tube kind of like the arc reactor in iron man? I'm not talking about anything close to the temperatures or pressures required for fusion just kind of a demo piece to show the general idea.

    Can I prevent setting up standing waves in my COMSOL model?

    Can I prevent setting up standing waves in my COMSOL model? I'm using integration over two opposing faces to get the pressure at the 'outlet' - but it seems that no matter what I do to prevent the standing waves, they won't go away. Any help would be great, Thanks

    In the standard model gravitron is a particle but Higgs boson is not?

    In the standard model gravitron is a particle but Higgs boson is not. The Higgs field causes particles to acquire mass. Mass generates a gravitation field. Is gravitron is in any way related to Higgs boson? Is the Higgs field any way related to gravitation field?

Since the separation of the brane with itself is 0, this string corresponds to a massless particle. Why is...
