Scope of the workshop

The topics of the workshop are modern computational algorithms and tools for classical and quantum lattice models, in particular nanomagnets and strongly correlated quantum systems. In-depth tutorials on the algorithms will be combined with "hands-on" sessions and research talks highlighting recent applications. Participants will get to know modern algorithms and learn to use the ALPS collaboration's application suite for strongly correlated systems and the Psi-Mag Toolset for nanomagnetics developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The workshop is targeted at both theoreticians, who want to deepen their understanding of numerical methods, as well as experimentalists, who want to use the application codes for modeling purposes.
