Julia as a framework for a Theoretical Physics PhD

I started used Julia as a backup language, soon became my first and unique programming language for doing my numerical checks of my theoretical findings. My theoretical physics PhD gone easy after I known about Julia and their wonderfulness.


I relate my experience as I changed to Julia in the middle of my PhD work, an action I don’t regret at all.

The speaker’s profile picture
Alejandro R. Urzúa

I'm a theoretical physicist who is slowly evolved in an algorithm researcher. I specialize in mathematical methods in optics and mechanics, both classical and quantum paradigms. I'm currently signed at National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics.

My current research projects are:

  1. Energy analysis of harmonic oscillators arrays
  2. Phase transitions under group theoretical approximation
  3. Quantum state tomography and unitary transformations
  4. Epistemological and ontological problems in quantum mechanics
