An open-source computational electrodynamics Python simulator
PyCharge
PyCharge is an open-source computational electrodynamics Python simulator that can calculate the electromagnetic fields and potentials generated by moving point charges and can self-consistently simulate dipoles modeled as Lorentz oscillators.
PyCharge was designed to be accessible for a wide range of use cases: it can be used as a pedagogical tool for undergraduate and graduate-level EM theory courses to provide an intuitive understanding of the EM waves generated by moving point charges, and can also be used by researchers in the field of nano-optics to investigate the complex interactions of light in nanoscale environments.
Key Features
- Calculate the relativistically-correct electromagnetic fields and potentials generated by moving point charge sources in a system at specified grid points in space and time. The moving point charges
