Simulation Methods in Statistical Physics
The course covers simulation methods in statistical physics applied to, amongst others classical fluids and spin systems. The course provides a theoretical basis as well as practical experience with application of molecular-dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations.
You will get hands on experience with simulation methods and a theoretical understanding in statistical physics. You will employ and expand your programing skills in developing code for molecular dynamics simulations and Monte Carlo simulations of a noble gas fluid.
