I would like to address the following question: When you use a computer to solve a problem (I would call this a numerical calculation), is it an experiment or theory? Or is it something else? It's a ...

Researchers have used an elegant method based on statistical mechanics -- called the vertex model -- to create more efficient algorithms to solve complex problems more quickly. The research could ...

Numerical programming and computer simulations are ubiquitous through all subjects in physics. Thus, computational physics has grown to be an appealing field for those who wish to acquire advanced and ...

The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

In the early years of computational physics, starting during the Second World War, the discipline and its practitioners did not yet have a name. Iulia Georgescu tells the story of these forgotten ...

Computational physics jobs involve calculations and formulas. It combines physics, computer science and applied mathematics in order to provide scientific solutions to realistic and often complex ...

As a computational physics major you'll get an exceptional education in both physics and computer science. UB’s computer science department was one of the first in the U.S., and we have one of the top ...
