Computational Bio Physics

Computational physics is used it most of the researches done in Bio Physics. Check the following links if you are interested. I'm not much of a fan of bio physics since I know nothing about biology stuff :)
Computational neuroscience, Computational genomics & Proteomics, Biomedical Signal Processing & Imaging etc are some of the main sections of Computational Bio Physics.

Computational Condesed Matter Physics

In the links below you can see some researches done in condensed matter physics

involves computation of electronic, mechanical and other properties of condensed matter systems including superconductors, nanotubes and defects in semiconductors etc.

What is Computational Physics?

Computational Physics (CP) is the study and implementation of numerical algorithms to solve problems in physics for which a quantitative theory already exists. This is the definition given by Wikipedia. In my words its the use of computers to solve physics problems.
For explaining most physics theories and also for simulations, it is much easier to use computers. So Computational Physics makes the life of physicists much easier.

We normally use programing languages such as C,C++,Python etc or software such as Matlab,Mathematica,Scilab etc in Computational Physics.

Today, CP plays a major role in all parts of physics, specially after the development of very fast supercomputers. So in this blog I'll be giving out some of the applications of it.
