Third Annual Summer School: Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem: June 20 – 24, 2016

The Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem will hold its third annual summer school June 20-24 at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University. 55 collaboration members and guests will participate. Organized by collaboration scientist Steve White, the school will focus on new developments in the density matrix renormalization group, tensor networks and related topics. There will also be hands-on tutorials in Julia and ITensor.   Junior members of the collaboration will present their recent work.

The summer school will also include a day at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Members of the SCGP and Stony Brook scientific communities are welcome to attend all activities except for the Brookhaven tour.  Those planning to participate in the Julia or I-Tensor tutorials are advised to install these on their laptops in advance of the session. The school will be preceded by a short course on scientific programming methods, June 17-19. The intensive hands-on nature of the short course means that participation is by pre-registration; only a very limited number of external participants can be accommodated. Persons interested in participating should contact Emily Klein at eklein@simonsfoundation.org.
