Found inWork cat.: Klco, Natalie. Calculating nature naturally, 2020: abstr. (computation imprints the precisely-known isolated Hamiltonian of a distributed computational framework with a conjecture of the universe's Hamiltonian to calculate the physical implications of a proposed theoretical design. In this way, physics is able to connect theory and experiment, even in non-perturbative physical regimes eluding analytic solution) p. 3 (Since the early days of computational development, curiosities have grown about the relation between computation and physics--both how the laws of physics limited computational capacity and how computational design could inspire the development of physical law) ResearchWorks Archive subject keywords (Computational physics)

Liden, Daniel. What is computational physics?, via All the science website, Oct. 24, 2022 (Computational physics is a field that utilizes both existing physics formulas and numerical algorithms to make large-scale calculations with computers that would be extremely time consuming and tedious to perform by hand. Essentially, it is a branch of physics that is concerned with making mathematical models and solutions by using computers and programming. The mathematical models that physicists aim to create often involve vast amounts of information that require very powerful computers to process)
