• R5R6R7.

• R501, physics building.

• Good knowledge of “quantum physics” and “thermal physics”.
• Working knowledge of Python (or other programming languages).

The goal of this course is to learn computational methods for the simulation of classical and quantum models.

• Phase transition and critical phenomena of classical models.
• Monte Carlo method.
• Tensor network method.
• Simulation of quantum models.
