The seminar will focus on the literature related to the most popular simulation methods for quantum mechanical systems and on the emerging subject of quantum computers.
In particular we will focus on quantum computing and qunatum computer, but students can also choose papers at the foundation of Path Integral Molecular Dynamics, Quantum Monte Carlo techniques, Density Functional Theory and quantum chemistry on quantum computers.
The reading and the discussion will be complemented by paper about the latest developments and applications of the methods.
