Hubbard Squash
''Cucurbita maxima'', one of at least five species of cultivated squash, is one of the most diverse domesticated species.

Secondary centers of diversity include India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and the southern Appalachians.

Hubbard Model
The Hubbard model is an Approximation, approximate model used to describe the transition between Conductor (material), conducting and Electrical insulation, insulating systems. It is particularly useful in solid-state physics. The model is named for John Hubbard (physicist), John Hubbard. The Hubbard model states that each electron experiences competing forces: one pushes it to tunnel to neighboring atoms, while the other pushes it away from its neighbors. Its Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics), Hamiltonian thus has two terms: a kinetic term allowing for Quantum tunneling, tunneling ("hopping") of particles between lattice sites and a potential term reflecting on-site interaction. The particles can either be fermions, as in Hubbard's original work, or bosons, in which case the model is referred to as the "Bose–Hubbard model". The Hubbard model is a useful approximation for particles in a periodic potential at sufficiently low temperatures, where all the particles may be assumed t ...
