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
