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...
