529-0483-00LStatistical Physics and Computer Simulation Information 6 credits2V + 1US. Riniker, P. H. Hünenberger
AbstractPrinciples and applications of statistical mechanics and equilibrium molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, stochastic dynamics and free energy calculation.
Exercises using a MD simulation program to generate ensembles and subsequently calculate ensemble averages.
Learning objectiveIntroduction to statistical mechanics with the aid of computer simulation; development of skills to carry out statistical mechanical calculations using computers and interpret the results.
ContentPrinciples and applications of statistical mechanics and equilibrium molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulation, stochastic dynamics and free energy calculation.
Exercises using a MD simulation program to generate ensembles and subsequently calculate ensemble averages.
Literaturewill be announced in the course
Prerequisites / NoticeSince the exercises on the computer do convey and test essentially different skills as those being conveyed during the lectures and tested at the written exam, the results of a small programming project will be presented in a 10-minutes talk by pairs of students who had been working on the project.

Additional information will be provided in the first lecture.
