物理建模與計算實作

Complex physical problems can be solved or numerically computed if appropriate "models" can be established to formulate the problems. Modeling is a key element in the research of general engineering, technology, and physics. In this course, students are asked to select two physical mini-problems in the way of closely co-working with the instructors to set-up the models and solve them using numerical or/and analytical approaches. 理論物理與實驗物理的發展是並行且相輔相成的。物理的發展當中,當實驗物理學家的實驗結果無法用現行的理論模型來解釋的時候,理論物理學家需要建構提出新的模型來了解這些物理現象,更進一步以此模型提出預測,並由實驗物理學家來驗證。因此,”建模”是理論物理學家的重要工作。 電腦的效能與時增進,當代理論物理學家除了利用解析的數學技巧外,還運用了數值計算的方式,使得提出的物理模型更加完備。本課程的目標最主要是提供對電腦計算或理論物理感興趣的學生,利用一學期的時間,以師徒制的指導方式專題的方式利用解析或者數值的方法建構物理模型,進一步了解背後的物理。同學由以下題目擇一於學期時間中完成: 1. 計算材料 (Computational materials): use the first principles package, VASP, to compute the electronic band structures of emergent materials, e.g. 2D materials (graphene, ...etc). 2. 量子位元 (Control of quantum bits): Design a quantum gate and simulate the qubit dynamics. 3. 激子物理 (Exciton physics): Study the exciton physics in low-dimensional materials
