Electromagnetism

  • Visualising electric and magnetic fields in 3Da

Dynamics

  • Falling slinky
  • Darwin drift
  • Stokes drift
  • Van der Pol oscillator and limit cycles

Condensed Matter Physics

  • Crystal structures

Thermal and Statistical

  • Maxwell Boltzmann distribution
  • Einstein solid
  • Ising model

TP1

  • Regular and chaotic dynamics
  • Visualising phase space
  • Scale invariance of Brownian motion

TP2

  • Dynamics on the Bloch sphere
  • Condensation of Bose gas
  • Visualising spinors on the Celestial sphere
  • Thomas precession
  • Rabi driving beyond RWA
  • Landau-Zener-Majorana-Stueckelberg interferometry (multiple crossings)
  • Mathematica sliders to illustrate the scattering solutions and length
  • Two-site Bose-Hubbard model and the superfluid-Mott insulator transition

Theories of Quantum Matter

  • Monte Carlo simulation of Laughlin wavefunctions.
  • Spin waves in ferromagnets and antiferromagnets.
