Aims

  1. Be able to apply central many-particle methods like the Variational Monte Carlo method to properties of many-fermion systems and many-boson systems.
  2. Understand how to simulate quantum mechanical systems with many interacting particles. The methods are relevant for atomic, molecular, condensed matter physics, materials science, nanotechnology, quantum chemistry and nuclear physics.
  3. Learn to manage and structure larger projects, with unit tests, object orientation and writing clean code
  4. Learn about a proper statistical analysis of large data sets
