This book provides a practical introduction to using computational (or numerical) methods to solve physics problems using the Python programming language, including differential equations, Fourier transforms, Monte Carlo methods, and data analysis. It is designed with a two-level approach: topics are introduced at the lowest level, and readers encounter the simplest examples of coding the algorithm themselves before a second level introduced by the problems allows the reader to use library models and take their understanding to a higher level. [...]

Driven by advances in data science and machine learning, phototonics has evolved rapidly in recent years and has transformed into a highly interdisciplinary field, connecting fundamental research with cutting-edge applications. Inspired by recent Nobel Prizes in Physics in 2021 and 2024, Conti highlights the interplay between photonics and spin glasses, a key concept for understanding the link between photon propagation and complex systems [...]

The book provides a comprehensive treatment of band structure calculations for photonic crystals, including novel methods for photonic crystals made of dispersive materials. In the rapidly advancing field of photonics, photonic crystals stand out as a revolutionary technology due to their unique ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves through band gaps [...]
