Algorithms and Computations in Statistical Physics: An example-based approach

In this tutorial, we will discuss key subjects in statistics and classical and quantum statistical physics starting from miniature (!) computer programs. Tools will range from Markov-chain Monte Carlo to molecular dynamics, with applications from entropic phase transitions to the Feynman path integral. The tutorial will be highly interactive, and attendees are encouraged to bring their laptop.

Werner Krauth is the Simons Center’s Distinguished Visiting Professor.

This event is in-person, only.  

The tutorial will be held in Tisch Hall, Room LC9. Tisch Hall is located at 40 West 4th Street, New York, NY 10012.  Lunch will be provided.
