MTSC 6610G - Computational Physics


The course introduces the fundamental principles which form the basis of modern HPC simulations in physics of materials, their realization in the form of various numerical algorithms and their applications to different problems. The main focus is advanced methods of studying quantum mechanical and statistical mechanical systems. Approaches considered will include density functional theory, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo. The course introduces principles, concepts, methods, techniques, algorithms and tools for solving various physical problems with numerical and approximate solutions. This will be discussed in conjunction with selected topics from Computational Materials Science.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, and satisfaction of admission requirements for the MSc program.
Cross-listed: MCSC 6180G - Computational Physics .
