Joint teaching
This course has jointly taught classes with FYS9411 – Computational Physics II: Quantum Mechanical Systems. See this course's semester page for schedule and messages.
Hi all,
just a quick update before tomorrow's lecture, with plans for the weeks to come.
Tomorrow we will discuss further the technicalities needed in connection with the setup of the Jastrow factor and the implementation of importance sampling. This is covered by the variational Monte Carlo slides. After this we will start discussing methods for finding optimal variational parameters before we start the large Monte Carlo machinery. In particular we will discuss the conjugate gradient method. This is covered by the slides on the conjugate gradient and other optimization methods slides, see http://compphysics.github.io/ComputationalPhysics2/doc/pub/cg/html/cg-reveal.html
We will continue with the conjugate gradient method next Thursday as well, that is
Thursday Feb 15: VMC technicalities plus start optimization methods
Thursday Feb 22: Conjugate method and o...

Due to a funeral there is no lecture on the 8th of February. Only lab from 1415 to 19. I recommend that you read the slides from slide 28 to slide 64 at
http://compphysics.github.io/ComputationalPhysics2/doc/pub/vmc/html/vmc-reveal.html
Try to get started with coding importance sampling. There will be a regular lecture on Thursday the 15th and the 22nd.
