Plans for the week of April 10-14

Dear all, we hope you have had an enjoyable break.

The aim this week is to present and discuss five possible variants for project 2, see https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/tree/gh-pages/doc/Projects/2023/Project2 for the various project files.

There are five topics at present

1) Time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory

2) VMC with fermions, continuation of project 1

3) VMC with deep learning, also continuation of project 1 but now the trial wave function is replaced with a neural network

4)  Quantum computing using the variational quantum eigensolver approach

5) For those more familiar with many-body methods like coupled-cluster theory, there is a project variant which deals with the development of a coupled-cluster theory code.

All these alternatives will be presented and discussed during the lecture on April 13. We continue thereafter with a discussion of the theory behind the various approaches.

Best wishes, Morten and Øyvind
