Plans for the week of April 15-19

Dear all, this week's lecture is a technical one. We will discuss how we can move from systems of bosons to a system of fermions.

This means that we will discuss our wave function ansatz again, and now how to include the anti-symmetry of the total fermion wave function.

This will be done via the introduction of a so-called Slater determinant.

Our last two lectures, that is April 26 and May 3, will be devoted to alternative topics plus discussions of the project. One alternative project is the discussion of diffusion Monte Carlo methods.  Feel free to suggest other topics for the last two lectures.

The material for this week is at for example https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week13/ipynb/week13.ipynbLinks to an external site.

Best wishes to you all,

Daniel, H?kon and Morten
