The 27th Annual Workshop on Recent Developments in Electronic Structure Theory
will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle, on June 14-17, 2015.
- Registration is now open for ES14
The 26th Annual Workshop on Recent Developments in Electronic Structure Theory
will be held at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX on May 18-21, 2014.
The Annual Workshop on Recent Developments in Electronic Structure Theory brings together active participants
in electronic structure theory from universities, colleges, institutes and laboratories around the world.
- Quantum Monte Carlo Training on July 14-18, 2014 The
QMC Training Event will be held at Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, Lemont, Illinois.
- Summer School to be held May 26 to June 6, 2014
Summer
School on "Computational Methods for Quantum Materials" will follow the pedagogical model of successful schools held in 2008 and 2012 on similar topics. Many
of the numerical methods that will be discussed in this School are still in development,
or so recent that one may expect dramatic improvements and breakthroughs in the near future.
The School will illustrate and contribute to the dramatic cross-fertilization that is occurring
between ab initio approaches and those developed for highly correlated quantum materials such as Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), Continuous-Time Quantum Monte Carlo approaches, Density Matrix Renormalization Group, Quantum Cluster Approaches, Worm algorithms. We will also discuss ideas from quantum information that have led to new algorithms (PEPS, tensor networks) or to dramatic improvements in methods such as the Density Matrix Renormalization Group. Amongst the topics of current interest that will be discussed, ab initio methods with strong spin-orbit scattering and their application to topological insulators stand out.
Hands-on training on ABINIT and ALPS codes will be an integral part of the School.
- Annual grant opportunity
The International Travel Grant Award Program promotes international
scientific collaborations between APS members and physicists
in developing countries. Grant recipients receive
up to $2,000 USD to help support travel for the developing or developed
country scientist to visit their collaborator abroad for a minimum of
one month. International Travel Grant Award Program is now accepting
proposals to cover travel and
lodging expenses for international travel while visiting a collaborator.
- Previous news: November 22-23, 2013
