Eigenvectors from Eigenvalues

A recent paper by Denton et al. revealed an interesting fundamental relationship between the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix. I will describe their findings and explore how it might be applied.



Linear Operators in Python

In this post I will extend the previously presented simple Schrödinger equation solver using the concepts of linear operators and closures.



A Simple Solver In Python

In this post I will present a simple solver of the Schrödinger equation in python based on a real space formulism.



A Program For Managing Namelists

Recently, I have written a utility program for managing namelist based input in Fortran. I will describe the motivation for this program and demonstrate its utility in application.



What should be the output format for scientific codes?

Scientific software needs to print out information during the course of a run. In this post, I will describe three key features that program output should have, and compare various output formats by this rubric.
