Title: Quantum Statistical Simulations with Julia

Content: Using computers to probe quantum systems is becoming more and more common in condensed matter physics research. Many of the commonly used languages and techniques in this space are either difficult to learn or not performant. Julia has allowed us to quickly develop and test codes for a variety of commonly used algorithms, including exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo. Its parallel features, including some MPI and GPGPU integration, make it particularly attractive for many quantum simulation problems. I'll discuss what features of Julia have been most useful for us when working on these simulations and the developments we're most excited about.

Presented by Katharine Hyatt, organized by Jarrett Revels. 

This talk was given in the SQuInT 2015 Breakout Session -- Julia users meetup at Berkeley on Feb 21, 2015. The meetup event was hosted by JuliaQuantum organization -- the Julia umbrella organization working on building Julia libraries for quantum science and technology. The speaker of this talk is from University of California -- Santa Barbara (http://web.physics.ucsb.edu/~kshyatt/).
