PHYS 3510 - Physics, Computation and Software Applications

3 hours

A basic survey of selected topics at the intersection of computer science, engineering and physics. Student will learn computer programming for applications in physics as well as the physics underlying computation and its physical implementation. Topics include: automated control in experimental physics, symbolic computation/analysis, simulation of physical phenomena; physical basis of contemporary computers and computation; physical constraints with respect to size, speed, energy and architecture; classical and quantum computation and implementations.

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1520 or PHYS 2220.
