Reports must be submitted no later than June 15 to be considered for an Outstanding Chapter Award. All chapter designations (Outstanding, Distinguished, and Notable) will be announced and updated on the SPS website each December.

SPS has more than 843 chapters at colleges and universities across the United States. Each chapter is very individualized by the interests of its members, its physics & astronomy departments, the campus atmosphere, and the geographical setting.

This page contains sample chapters from the book Computational Physics by Mark Newman. You're welcome to download these chapters, print them out, use them in class, or just read them for yourself. Comments and questions are welcome.

Subsequent chapters of the book cover a range of further topics in computational physics, including the solution of linear and nonlinear systems of equations, the solution of ordinary and partial differential equations, Fourier transforms, stochastic processes, and Monte Carlo methods.

The UB Student Chapter of the Biophysical Society (UB-BPS) is a UB student organization recognized as official BPS Student Chapter in December 2019. It was established to serve the undergraduate and graduate student body in Biological Physics and the Biophysical Sciences. It is affiliated with Biophysical Society, the Physics Graduate Program at UB and the Biophysics Program.

The goal of this chapter is to promote biophysics research and education and to help create a sense of community amongst students interested in biophysics. Additionally, the chapter seeks to promote the development of useful professional skills, including collaboration, communication and leadership, and professional network building. The chapter engages in outreach activities, organizes educational events and supports biophysics students' activities.

Organizers:

Viviana Monje-Galvan, PhD Assist. Prof. of Chemical and Biological Engineering

Mikhail V. Pletnikov, MD, PhD Prof. and Chair of Physiology and Biophysics

Gabriela Popescu, PhD Professor of Biochemistry

Arnd Pralle, PhD Professor of Physics

The CU Boulder Society of Physics Students chapter has received a 2022-2023 Distinguished Chapter Award from the National Society of Physics Students organization. The award recognizes chapters for efforts including outreach, participation in community service, social events, interactions with alumni, and involvement in SPS programs.

The CU Boulder SPS chapter has been active for many years, providing community for undergraduate students interested in physics. Since the COVID pandemic, significant effort has been made to reestablish the group and build back the sense of community with more in-person activities.

Physics majors Alex Fix and Ellie Gentry served as SPS co-presidents during the 2022-2023 academic year, and Luke Coffman and Owen Grimes are serving as co-presidents this year. Keith Ulmer, associate professor of physics, serves as faculty advisor to the CU Boulder SPS chapter.

Together they have continued the tradition of weekly Wednesday night meetings with free pizza, but they also expanded into hosting a variety of events. Last year, the group held a Physics Phormal, several research and industry talks, an industry career panel, and they co-hosted the Physics Pumpkin Drop with several other student groups. They also organized an induction to the physics honor society Sigma Pi Sigma in Spring 2023. Looking forward, the group plans to offer an industry tour, host additional research talks, and they will put more emphasis on community outreach.

I have prepared a set of very complete solutions to physics problems taken from popular textbooks for calculus-based physics. They are all in PDF format, so you need to have the Acrobat Reader installed on your machine (it is free... go get it!)This is an ongoing project; some chapters are missing some important material. Much work remains to be done...Please send me an E-mail if you spot any errors!"Chapter 0" for each volume just contains the cover, table of contents and introduction, for completeness. (The date on the cover serves as an edition number.) The other chapters have substance. Or so I claim.1/08: Additions to Second-Semester Algebra based book.

I've only got a few pages done, but this early edition may someday be valuable as a collector'sitem.I've started work on Vol. 3, too.Algebra-Based Physics Study GuidesI've begun work on the Algebra-Based Physics Study Guides. What I've got so far may be useful.

The first 6 chapters were originally prepared in 1997-98, Chapter 7 wasadded in 1999, and Chapter 9 was added in 2004.A typeset version of Chapter 8 (on fault-tolerant quantum computation)is not yet available; nor are the figures for Chapter 7. Additional material isavailable in the form of handwritten notes.

The theory of quantum information and quantum computation. Overview ofclassical information theory, compression of quantum information, transmissionof quantum information through noisy channels, quantum entanglement, quantumcryptography. Overview of classical complexity theory, quantum complexity,efficient quantum algorithms, quantum error-correcting codes, fault-tolerantquantum computation, physical implementations of quantum computation.

Certainly it would be useful to have had a previous course on quantummechanics, though this may not be essential. It would also be useful to knowsomething about (classical) information theory, (classical)coding theory, and (classical) complexity theory, since a central goal ofthe course will be generalize these topics to apply to quantum information.But we will review this material when we get to it, so you don't need to worryif you haven't seen it before. In the discussion of quantum coding, we will usesome rudimentary group theory.

In fact, quantum information -- information storedin the quantum state of a physical system -- has weird properties that contrastsharply with the familiar properties of "classical" information. Anda quantum computer -- a new type of machine that exploits the quantumproperties of information -- could perform certain types of calculations farmore efficiently than any foreseeable classical computer.

In this course, we will study the properties that distinguish quantuminformation from classical information. And we will see how these propertiescan be exploited in the design of quantum algorithms that solve certain problemsfaster than classical algorithms can.

A quantum computer will be much more vulnerable than a conventional digitalcomputer to the effects of noise and of imperfections in the machine.Unavoidable interactions of the device with its surroundings will damage thequantum information that it encodes, a process known as decoherence.Schemes must be developed to overcome this difficulty if quantum computers areever to become practical devices.

In this course, we will study quantum error-correcting codes that can beexploited to protect quantum information from decoherenceand other potential sources of error. And we will see how coding can enable aquantum computer to perform reliably despite the inevitable effects of noise.

The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional association explicitly designed for students, dedicated to connecting and advancing students interested in physics. UMD's SPS chapter is made up of undergraduate physics and non-physics majors, always welcoming new members! SPS provides skills not offered in coursework, such as leadership experience, networking, outreach services, and effective communication in professional meetings and journals.

The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional organization designed specifically for Emory students. SPS is dedicated to fostering community among students interested in Physics and serving as a liaison to the greater Emory Physics Community as well as the greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area.

Moreover, SPS hosts professional development events such as panel discussions around graduate schools, careers in science, and forums with our faculty (regarding research in a variety of fields). SPS take part in community in-reach and outreach events such as Physics Live! They also hosts fun and engaging activities - for example - planetarium movie nights, and co-hosts a myriad of events/activities with the Physics department's undergraduate programs. In addition, we incorporate cool self-built demonstrations of interesting physics concepts into our events as well.
