Simulating physics with computers [PDF]

open access: possibleInternational Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1982
This chapter describes the possibility of simulating physics in the classical approximation, a thing which is usually described by local differential equations. But the physical world is quantum mechanical, and therefore the proper problem is the simulation of quantum physics. A computer which will give the same probabilities as the quantum system does.

Cyber physical computing

2016 IEEE East-West Design & Test Symposium (EWDTS), 2016
Cyber culture of virtual-macro-micro-computing, which formulates, explains and predicts the current processes and phenomena monitoring and control technology in the physical and virtual space is proposed. The verbal and structural definitions of the main types of computing, based on current trends evolution of planet cyber ecosystem are represented ...

Physical computing in computer science education

Proceedings of the tenth annual conference on International computing education research, 2014
Physical computing covers the design and realization of interactive objects and installations and allows students to develop concrete, tangible products of the real world, which arise from the learners' imagination. This can be used in computer science education to provide students with interesting and motivating access to the different topic areas of ...

Computational Physics: The Edinburgh Computing Surface [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysics Bulletin, 1986
On 23 April 1986 the Computational Physics Group of the Physics Department at Edinburgh University took delivery of a revolutionary new computer built by Meiko of Bristol. The Computing Surface, as it is called, is a reconfigurable array of transputers, the 'computer on a chip' designed and built by Inmos, also of Bristol.

Physics and Computation

2016
By this point we have seen that Maxima’s built-in routines can be very helpful tools in solving physics problems. Users can expand Maxima’s usefulness by taking advantage of its programming capabilities. Although Maxima should not be viewed as a substitute for a full-featured programming language, it does have some basic programming features that allow

Physics and Computation

1993
Various issues in theoretical physics can be fruitfully analyzed by Kolmogorov complexity. This is the case for physical aspects of information processing, and for application of complexity to physics issues. Physicists have used complexity arguments in a variety of settings like information distance, thermodynamics, chaos, biology, and philosophy.

Computational physics: a perspective

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2002
Computing comprises three distinct strands: hardware, software and the ways they are used in real or imagined worlds. Its use in research is more than writing or running code. Having something significant to compute and deploying judgement in what is attempted and achieved are especially challenging. In science or engineering, one must define a central

Physics of computing as an introduction to computer engineering

2013 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2013
This paper describes a new required course in the Georgia Tech computer engineering curriculum, ECE 3030, Physical Foundations of Computer Systems. Traditional introductory courses take a constructive approach to logic design and computer organization. 3030, in contrast, introduces the major physical concepts underlying computation.

Interaction-Based Computing in Physics [PDF]

open access: possible, 2009
Glossary Nonlinear system A system composed by parts whose combined effects are different from the sum of the effects of each part. Extended system A system composed bymany parts connected by a network of interactions thatmay be regular (lattice) or irregular (graph). Graph, lattice, tree A graph is set of nodes connected by links, oriented or not.
