Physics Student and a Tech Enthusiast

Being an undergraduate in Electrical Engineering, gave me a different path into physics with a touch in electronics and computation. Learning Physics using the tool of numerical computation is not only fun to learn but greatly exciting. This is the very experience I would like to share, and hopefully you will find it interesting too. I am also an electronics hobbyist and a Linux enthusiast, so you will also find some electronic projects along with some cool configurations in Linux. By the way, this very intriguing picture here is from a simulation accident!

How is Quantum Computing Advantageous?

The hype on quantum computing is very real, one can see the so called “developments” or some crass comments on the idea of quantum computing. So much that so that it shows up a few times a week atleast. How much of the hype is real and how much is not is a story which is long and something I am not going into. What I am indeed interested in is why are so many people interested in it.

My Linux Desktop Configuration

One of the perks of using Linux is the freedom I get to tweak around and customize the user interface to my liking. Initially, I started with Unity then shifted to KDE, which is very customizable when I finally took up a tiling window manager without looking back. This article describes the setup I use and how you can replicate it. I am working on Arch Linux, but the same applies on any other distro with just minor changes.

Intro to Numerical Computation with Molecular Dynamics

All the problems that we solved until our undergraduation involved balls falling freely in gravity, boxes sliding down an inclined plane or two monkeys hanging on a pulley. We know that all such problems have a solution, only if we were as creative to come up with a way out. What about a slightly complicated problem? For example, we want to understand the flow of fluid through a complex set of pipes or the evolution of a gas in a nano cavity.
