Simulation Methods in Statistical Physics

Education facts

Code: FK8028

In this course simulation methods in statistical physics will be applied on problems involving classical liquids, spin systems and electron structure. Molecular dynamics simulations and (quantum) Monte Carlo simulations will be investigated theoretically and practically.
