Homework

• Homework 5, due June 6: Phase transition

  • Codes: Python program for calculating the fugacity of a BEC gas (first problem), Python program for Monte Carlo (last problem). – 9:55PM, May 27, 2013

  • Plotting: In case you like to plot things up in Python, here is some information that might be helpful: Plotting examples, Python, scipy, matplotlib. – 9:55PM, May 27, 2013

• Homework 4, due May 21: Quantum statistical mechanics (with solutions)

  • Correction: Problem 6 (a): the factor $\frac{1}{2}$ multiplies $\vec a \cdot \vec \sigma$ also. Also, $\sigma \rightarrow \vec \sigma$, right after "where." – 8:28PM, May 19, 2013

• Homework 3, due May 6: Ensembles, semi-classical (with solutions)
