My research is to develop exact simulation methods for quantum many-body systems. This is both a very important technological problem and a very challenging intellectual, computational and mathematical goal. The main achievements to date are exact simulations of the thermodynamics of bosonic systems, like superfluid helium, and very accurate simulations of simple fermion systems like the electron gas and solid hydrogen. Much of this work is in collaboration with Prof. Richard Martin.
Physics graduate students to a wide variety of research areas and potential advisors.
All first-year graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend.
