The problem occurred because the first version of the security update included only a 32-bit version of a crucial system component, LibSystem, according to an Apple technical note.
“We have issued a new version of the 2005-07 security update, which resolves an issue affecting 64 bit applications,” an Apple spokesperson said.
The corrected patch, Version 1.1 of Security Update 2005-007, is available from Apples Web site or through Mac OS Xs Software Update feature.īoth versions of the update address multiple performance and security issues and roll in many previous system updates.
had to hurriedly issue an update Wednesday to fix a Mac OS X 10.4.2 security patch that prevented the operating system from running 64-bit applications. Several hundred notebooks demonstrating the use of the VQM packages are distributed with Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics (these notebooks contain the source code for the movies).Apple Computer Inc. Sample notebooks, documentation (for the older versions):ĭocumentation is also available via Mathematica's Help Browser (after rebuilding the Help Browser Index). I have made no particular effort to write the most elegant or efficient code. I do not claim that they are useful for any other purpose. The VQM packages have been used to create many of the animations and illustrations for the book Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics, as well as for this web site. Here are the old packages for download:ĬomplexPlot.m, ArgColorPlot.m, and QuantumKernel.m Disclaimer: However, the notebooks on the cover CD of Book One need the old packages, if used unmodified. The VQM packages encompass the functionality of the packages distributed with Visual Quantum Mechanics "Book One". Start Mathematica and rebuild the Help Browser (see Mathematica's Help menu). Place the folder VQM inside the Mathematica application folder, into the sub-directory AddOns/Applications/
Unpacking the archive gives a folder VQM containing the VQM packages, the application QuantumKernel (a version for Mac and a version for Windows), and a readme file containing these installation instructions. You need these packages and Mathematica version 5.2 in order to evaluate the notebooks on the cover CD of the textbook Advanced Visual Quantum Mechancis. Here are the original VQM Mathematica packages, as distributed with the book Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics. In order to install, put this folder into /AddOns/Applications/ of your Mathematica folder. The zip archive expands into a folder VQM.
You need the application Mathematica in order to use these packages. Contains the Mathematica 6 packages, documentation, source code, and binaries for Mac, Win, Linux. Warning: The documentation has only been partially updated. These packages have been updated for Mathematica Version 6 by Rolf Mertig ( Gluonvision). was accompanied by a collection of Mathematica packages that are needed to reproduce the movies of this book. The book Advanced Visual Quantum Mechanics. All symbols defined in the VQM packages start with the letter Q in order to prevent conflicts with existing symbols. They contain packages defining free Gaussian wave packets, Coulomb wave functions, etc. The VQM packages contain tools for the visualization of complex-valued functions, wave functions, and for the numerical solution of the Schrödinger and Dirac equation. This is a collection of programs ("packages") for the computer-algebra system Mathematica.
