The course is centered on six computational projects which students will program from scratch and simulate. The course will develop both computing skills as well as physics subject-knowledge in the project areas. Working on these projects will span much of class-time and all of the homework; occasional lecturing will be used to supplement the knowledge necessary to accomplish the projects. The projects include: building a quantum computing simulator, simulating the Ising model through Monte Carlo and RG approaches, machine learning and the brain, evolution, chemistry from physics, and condensed matter (topological insulators and superconductivity).
