Dear Colleague,
We would appreciate if you could bring to the attention of your PhD
students, the following Summer School on "New trends in computational
approaches for many-body systems"
<
http://pitp.phas.ubc.ca/confs/sherbrooke2012/index.html>
http://pitp.phas.ubc.ca/confs/sherbrooke2012/index.html It follows the
pedagogical model of a successful school held in 2008 on a similar topic.
Approaches based on both model Hamiltonians and ab initio methods will be
treated. Many of the numerical methods that will be discussed in this School
are still in development, or so recent that one may expect dramatic
improvements and breakthroughs in the near future. Projected Entangled
States and Multi-scale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz, Worm algorithms
and Quantum Cluster Methods are prime examples. This methodology is
essential for treating cold atoms, pnictides, heavy fermions,
high-Temperature Superconductivity, interfaces of complex oxides and many
more problems.
Hands-on training on Abinit ( <
http://www.abinit.org/>
http://www.abinit.org/ ) and ALPS ( <
http://alps.comp-phys.org/>
http://alps.comp-phys.org/ ) codes will be an integral part of the School.
There is no registration fee. Room and board for two weeks ranges from
$1,000 CND to $1,400$ CND ($1_CND ~$1USD). Financial support is available
for exceptional students that cannot be supported by research grants.
Students can obtain the equivalent of a 3 credit graduate course (45 h) from
Sherbrooke University. It can applied to their degree at their home
institution if transfer of credit is allowed.
Best regards,
