Program
The Institute will provide a series of mini courses in quantum Monte Carlo methods as used in computational physics and chemistry. The nature of the lectures will be pedagogical; their level will vary from introductory to advanced, and from methods to applications, and targets an audience at the graduate level and above.
The program has been designed to provide students with opportunities to acquire proficiency in the computational methods through exercises. For this purpose, Cornell University will make workstations and a multi-node IBM SP-2 available to the participants of the Institute. The lecturers have been requested to design their lectures so as to take advantage of these facilities and the program will be planned accordingly, with lectures in the morning and computer sessions in the afternoon.
The program will consist of lecture series of pedagogical nature and seminars ranging from research seminars to tutorials. Most of the seminars will be scheduled for the last two days of the Institute.
