Francisco Kim
PhD in theoretical physics by training, but a musician and musicologist at heart. A happy combination knitter, an avid novel reader, a disciplined meditator, and a sports enthusiast — whether taking part or watching from the sofa with crisps in one hand and a beer in the other.

Featured: Fuga I
A three-voice fugue in D minor built on the B-A-C-H motif within the counterpoint rules of the Baroque period. Listen below, then read the full write-up, which includes a musicological, computational and mathematical analysis of the piece.

Featured: Ising & XY model simulator
A Monte Carlo simulation that runs entirely in your browser. Drag the temperature through the phase transition and watch a lattice of spins order and disorder; compare local (Metropolis, Glauber) and cluster (Wolff) dynamics; measure the susceptibility and specific heat across the exactly known critical point; and coarse-grain configurations with block-spin renormalisation.
It also simulates the two-dimensional XY model, whose planar spins are drawn as hue, so you can watch vortices and antivortices bind and unbind across the topological Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition.
