5-9th March 2012; Mo-Fr 9:30 - 17:00, SR THP/CIP-Pool. This intensive week is intended to provide both a working understanding and real hands-on experience with the essential numerical techniques of solid state many-body physics. Rather than a 'black-box' philosophy, the course aims to discuss the theory and physics underpinning numerical approaches. Lectures will introduce three models of central importance: the Ising model, the Anderson impurity model, and the Hubbard model. Using these as concrete examples, the Monte Carlo, Numerical Renormalization Group and Density Matrix Renormalization Group techniques will be discussed. Students will also gain supervised practical hands-on experience writing, using and modifying simple computer codes to solve real problems.
