Weekly plans and update for week 12

Hi all,  a brief message here:
This is our last lecture before the break, and the last one concerning project 1.
Last week we discussed how to use and install MPI, this week we discuss in more detail OpenMP and how to implement that in project 1. We will also discuss other issues around project 1. Feel free to send us an email before the lecture and we may hopefully be able to bake them in. We may end a little bit before 4pm and will then just start with the lab. 
Else, as written earlier, we are pretty flexible with the deadline. We would however like that you upload  the link to your github address by the deadline. 
Also,  feel free to come with suggestions about topics for project 2.

We would like to have some feedback on which of the following topics is the more interesting one:

-Fermion VMC, continuation of project 1
-Deep learning applied to project 1, either neural networks or Boltzmann machines
-Hartree-Fock theory and time-dependent theories
-Many-body methods like coupled-cluster theory or other many-body methods
-Quantum computing and possibly quantum machine learning
-Suggestions from you
The first four variants are more or less ready, the first two are continuations of what you have done in project 1.
For the quantum computing and quantum ML variants we would need to wrap up projects during the break.

The lectures after the break will focus on the most popular choice, however, we will also have separate sessions for those of you who opt for the other choices.

Best wishes and stay healthy,
Morten and ?yvind

p.s. unfortunately we cannot have in-person labs or lecture before after mid April.
