Python Find Numerical Physics Problems in Python

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources for numerical problems in physics, particularly in quantum mechanics, using Python. The original poster seeks books or online materials that provide practical examples, specifically for topics like tunneling, solving the Schrödinger equation, and scattering. They mention two books found on Amazon that focus on computational physics with Python: one by Hans Petter Langtangen and another by Herman J. C. Berendsen. Additionally, they highlight that Google searches for "python computational physics" yield useful links. A suggestion is made to explore a non-Python resource, a website featuring a 1-D Quantum Mechanics Applet by Falstad, which includes downloadable source code.

I'm searching a book, or a place on the net where I'll find tons of examples of numerical problems in physics (mainly quantum mechanics) written in Python.

I have tons of books about Python, but none have good examples on problems like tunneling, solving Schrodinger eq for various potentials, scattering...

So if anyone can recommend sth I'd appreciate it ^^

I found these books on amazon with the search query:
python computational physics

1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/3642024742/?tag=pfamazon01-20 by Hans Petter Langtangen
2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521835275/?tag=pfamazon01-20 by Herman J. C. Berendsen

Google also has some nice links when you search for:
python computational physics

Although not in Python, http://falstad.com/mathphysics.html" may be interesting for you. For example, you can download the source code for his 1-D Quantum Mechanics Applet.

I'll check that out. Thanks :)
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
