NIC Excellence Project May 2018

The NIC Peer Review Board regularly awards the title "NIC Excellence Project" to outstanding simulation projects. At its April meeting, the board decided to honour Prof. Simon Trebst (Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne) for his project "Simulation of quantum-mechanical many-fermion systems". The project, which has been granted computing time on JUWELS, uses different methods to tackle the many-fermion problem. In particular, it employs different numerical approaches, including sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo, the pseudo-fermion functional renormalization group and machine learning techniques.
