Hamiltonian Mechanics

March 2025

Research, Tutorials

Hamiltonian mechanics is a way to describe how physical systems, like planets or pendulums, move over time, focusing on energy rather than just forces. By reframing complex dynamics through energy lenses, this 19th-century physics framework now powers cutting-edge generative AI.
