Computational Challenges in Warm Dense Matter
Month: May 2012
Date: May 21--25
Name: Computational Challenges in Warm Dense Matter
Location: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA, Los Angeles, California.
Description
In this workshop, we will explore established and promising approaches to the modeling of WDM, foundational issues concerning the correct theoretical description of WDM, and the challenging practical issues of numerically modeling strongly coupled systems with many degrees of freedom. The list of computational frameworks and methods to be discussed includes: Finite-temperature density functional theory, including orbital-free methods; quantum Monte Carlo, including path integral Monte Carlo; wave-packet molecular dynamics; and classical and semi-classical molecular dynamics.
Deadline/Registration
Applications received by Monday, March 26, 2012, will receive fullest consideration. Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their applications. If you do not need or want to apply for funding, you may simply register.
