Computational Physics

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: CBAD82

The course introduces important numerical physical computation methods in different fields. The numerical simulations are implemented in a suitable programming language (for instance Fortran, C, MATLAB, Python) or carried out in specific simulation software. Course content: <br> The basics of electronic structure theory and calculation methods. <br> The solution to the Schrödinger equation using the variation method. Computation of the electronic structure of crystalline materials: introduction to the Hartree-Fock method and density functional theory (DFT). <br> Simulations using molecular dynamics, introduction to quantum-molecular dynamics. The Monte Carlo method. <br> Parallelisation and high-performance computations.
