Dear colleagues,
A three-week school in computational condensed matter physics will be
held at ICTP Trieste, Italy, on 7-25 September 2015.
Deadline for applications is *14 June 2015*. We would be grateful if you
could circulate this message to scientists potentially interested in
attending the school, which is aimed at graduate students and junior
researchers. The online application can be found at the activity
website, http://indico.ictp.it/event/a14246/ .
The school will cover modern numerical methods used by various
communities to study cooperative phenomena in condensed matter and
statistical physics. The School will cover the basics of modern
programming and will reach as far as advanced topics involving the
dynamics of complex classical and quantum systems, and the effects due
to disorder and strong electron correlations. Strong emphasis will be
put on the integration between sophisticated many-body techniques that
have been developed in various branches of condensed matter physics,
including solid-state physics, quantum gases and in the physical
chemistry of biological systems. The speakers include (*tbc)
