A sequel to the Thematic Program on Multiscale Scientific Computing (January-April 2016), this retrospective workshop will explore the interplay between mathematical analysis and scientific computations with applications to quantum systems in cold-matter Physics and Chemistry.

The first theme of the workshop concerns superfluid quantum systems: Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid helium. Progress in this field have the potential to trigger a new technological revolution. In the wake of recent advances made by experimental and theoretical physicists, the workshop will survey the state-of-the-art computational methods for superfluid systems and will generate a lively debate on new mathematical and numerical ideas in this field.   

The second theme concerns the related problems of molecular simulation with their connections to the broad field of multiscale computation. This is a research area with manifold applications in chemistry, solid-state physics, materials science, molecular biology and nanosciences. The workshop will focus on new advances in mathematical modelling and  numerical methods used to understand subtle phenomena taking place at the atomic scale or to simulate molecular systems of practical interest.

This event is part of a retrospective on the 2016 Fields Thematic Program on Multiscale Scientific Computing.

There is another event as part of this series in the previous week dealing with Extreme Events and Criticality in Fluid Mechanics.
