The article explains the Bell inequality using Monte Carlo simulations in Python, and shows how non-local action-at-a-distance can be used to break it with entangled qubits.

This blog post explores foundational quantum mechanics concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and the challenges posed by locality and determinism, while highlighting the historical efforts of Einstein and Bohm to reconcile these phenomena with hidden variable theories.

Based on the book Compact Stars by N. K. Glendenning a general relativistic treatment of pressure and energy in compact stars is given, followed by simple models of neutron and quark stars. Hypothetical strange quark matter and strange stars are introduced highlighting the importance of sub-millisecond pulsar detections. (Note: this is a student paper I wrote sometime in 2008-2010.)

I summarize the 5 previous posts on probabilistic spin glasses.

I use Monte Carlo simulations to explore the dynamic behaviour of probabilistic spin glasses, specifically how saturation scales with $p$ and $N$.

This is a continuation of the previous articles on probabilistic spin glasses. I run simulations to understand the scaling behaviour for large spin glasses.

I run simulations to understand the dynamic probabilistic evolution of these toy models.

This is a continuation of the previous article on probabilistic spin glasses, with improvements to the simulation code and improved entropy computation.

I run Monte Carlo simulations on probabilistic spin glasses, a simple mathematical model of magnetized matter with short range interactions. I use entropy to characterize the model's order-disorder transition.

I derive the Sackur-Tetrode equation for entropy of a monatomic ideal gas.

I show the first steps of how to arrive at a definition of entropy for a monatomic ideal gas modeled as hard billiard balls.

What's the entropy of a fair coin toss? What if the coin almost always returns Heads? My recruiter reports that very few candidates can answer these entropy related DS screening questions.

Warren Buffett says deciding what not to spend time on is just as important as deciding what to spend time on.

This post is about the amazing success of Einstein's general theory of relativity. The theory predicts, among other things the accelerating Universe, black holes, gravitational lensing and gravitational waves. The real shocker is to remember that Einstein didn't invent general relativity to explain these. He didn’t know about these, they didn't exist at that time!
