Find Numerical Physics Problems in Python

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding resources for numerical physics problems in Python, particularly in quantum mechanics. Users recommend two specific books: "Computational Physics" by Hans Petter Langtangen and "Computational Physics" by Herman J. C. Berendsen, both available on Amazon. Additionally, a suggestion is made to explore Google for links related to "python computational physics" and a non-Python resource, the Falstad Quantum Mechanics Applet, which offers downloadable source code.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Python programming
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics concepts
  • Knowledge of numerical methods in physics
  • Basic experience with computational physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Python Computational Physics" for additional resources
  • Explore the book "Computational Physics" by Hans Petter Langtangen
  • Investigate the Falstad Quantum Mechanics Applet and its source code
  • Learn about numerical methods for solving the Schrödinger equation
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers in physics, particularly those interested in applying Python to solve quantum mechanics problems.

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 Schrödinger 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.
