Hi, I was wondering if there exists an algorithm for one by one digit computation of an integer to the power of any real number? Couldn't find anything on the net.
I was exploring the connection between the Laplace transform and the Fourier transform (see "=http://earthcubed.wordpress.com/2009/08/30/using-the-fft-to-calculate-the-laplace-transform/"[/URL])and it occurred to me that the from the definition of the Laplace transform:
F(s) = \mathcal{L}...
Hi,
I need to get a simplified equation by setting the determinant of the following expression to zero:
exp(j.omega.dt). [I] - [G]
Here, I is an 18x18 identity matrix and G is an 18x18 matrix that I got by doing some symbolic computation in Mathematica (in fact G is huge).
Can anyone...

I hope to pursue a research career in Quantum computation. Could anyone suggest some good universities in UK where active research is going on in this field?Any information is most welcome.
A qubit state can be represented geometrically by Bloch sphere. A Bloch sphere has infinite points and so a single qubit can represent infinite number of states. Qubit state is represented by,

It is said in the Book on Quantum...
What graduate schools are the best if I want to pursue research in Quantum Computation? I know MIT has a good program and I am going to apply there but what other schools would you recommend? I would prefer to stay on this side of the Atlantic.
Hi,
I'm new graduate student and I need to know what is the quantum computation about?
My second question is the same as above for "particles physics".
is anyone to help me?
thanks
u,w are scalar functions of 3 variables
the book says you can verify by direct computation:
u\nabla^{2}w = \nabla \bullet\left(u\nabla w\right) - \left(\nabla u\right)\bullet\left(\nabla w \right)
and
\nabla^{2}w is \Delta w, the Laplacian operator.
Every time I've worked this, I just can't...
Hello,
I'm in my last year of a B.Sc with a double major in math and physics. I was somewhat interested in becoming an actuary, and was discussing it with a friend of mine when he brought up computational finance as an alternative.

Hi guys. I’m a graduate student in physics. I’m interested in quantum computation. In what field of physics should I take up my further studies to get into this area? Any information is most welcome.Thanx in advance.
Hi, all.
I have a function in Matlab. I'd like to calculate the computation time of the function. How can I obtain the time? I think Matlab must include related functions as its internal functions.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,

I need to compute the integral:

Hi,
I am struggling computing the integral square error between two square waves. one is ideal and the other is assymetric.
the equation for the assymetric is:

and

we were asked to plot the ideal( without the ε) and actual (or...

I've written a program that repeats a calculation a certain number of times in single precision, then in double precision. The times are recorded by the cpu_time(real t1) subroutine. (Specifically, the calculation is aReal/(aReal+0.01) .) It seems that the time for the double calculation is 1.20...

i need to solve/prove the next two integrals:
\int\frac{dx}{u^2+u+4}
and i need to show that:

the problem is that i have a clue to substitute u=sinx and then sin(pi)=0=sin0 so the integral should be equal zero, is it not?
ofcourse the integrand becomes...

i need to compute the lim of (1+2/x)^x or (1-1/x)^x and (1+1/x)^(x+3) when x approaches infinity.
