Modelling Systems of Classical/Quantum Identical Particles by Focusing on Algorithms
Guastella, Ivan; Fazio, Claudio; Sperandeo-Mineo, Rosa Maria
European Journal of Physics, v33 n3 p489-501 May 2012
A procedure modelling ideal classical and quantum gases is discussed. The proposed approach is mainly based on the idea that modelling and algorithm analysis can provide a deeper understanding of particularly complex physical systems. Appropriate representations and physical models able to mimic possible pseudo-mechanisms of functioning and having predictive validity are developed. (Contains 3 tables, 4 footnotes and 7 figures.)
