Molecular dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulation

CH-351 / 2 credits

Teacher: Röthlisberger Ursula

Language: English

Summary

Introduction to molecular dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulation methods.

Content

 

  • Time-dependent Schrödinger equation

     

  • Statistical mechanics

     

  • Short introduction to statistical mechanics

     

  • Molecular Dynamics simulation

     

  • Monte Carlo simulation

 

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  • Manage basic theoretical concepts of Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo methods
  • Carry out simple Molecular Dynamics and monte Carlo simulations

Transversal skills

  • Take feedback (critique) and respond in an appropriate manner.
  • Use both general and domain specific IT resources and tools
  • Write a scientific or technical report.

Assessment methods

control continue with 2 written exams and grades for exercise reports (each 1/3 written exam 1, written exam 2 and exercises)
