MICCoM Workshop and Hands-On Tutorials 2022

The Midwest Integrated Center for Computational Materials (MICCoM) is organizing a 2-day workshop at Argonne that includes hands-on tutorials. The event will focus on software for the simulation of materials for energy and quantum information science.

Scientists, students, and postdocs are invited to attend a 2-day workshop and hands-on tutorials on quantum simulations, including first-principles molecular dynamics, many-body perturbation theory, and advanced sampling. The workshop, organized by the Midwest Integrated Center for Computational Materials (MICCoM) and held at Argonne, is open to the public.

The workshop will include lectures and hands-on exercises that apply cutting-edge algorithms to simulations of materials for energy and quantum information science, utilizing codes developed by MICCoM:

  • First-principles molecular dynamics (Qbox)
  • Many-body perturbation theory (WEST)
  • Free-energy sampling methods (SSAGES)
  • Spin coherence time calculations (PyCCE)

The event will focus on how these codes may be used and coupled in order to compute properties of complex heterogeneous systems and how to validate experimental data.
