Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this practicum you will use numerical methods to solve classical, statistical or quantum mechanical many body problems. The students can chose between implementing a code or applying an existing code to a materials physics problems. Details will be communicated in the first lectures. Specific topics: quantum magnetism: machine learning dynamics, polaron physics, Computer Vision for spectroscopy,
Methods: first principles codes (e.g. VASP), Quantum Monte Carlo methods, Machine Learning

Assessment and permitted materials

The performance will be assessed in regular meeting with the supervisor. The developed code as well as a report (5-10 pages in the case of code development, 10-20 pages in the case of using an existing code) need to be handed in.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Completion of the project.

Examination topics

Exam-immanent course.
