Journal Club (spring 2012)
Journal Club is every Thursday, from 1-2pm, in the small meeting room. Feel free to bring your lunch. We also have a Group Meeting.
Ideally, someone from the group should volunteer to choose a paper for each meeting, and should update this page and email the paper around on the Friday the week before the meeting. If a volunteer is not forthcoming, Micha will encourage someone to volunteer. Alternatively, people can also give tutorials on any scientific topic that may be of interest to other members of the group. The tutorial marketplace is the place to set and see the supply and demand for tutorials.

October 22th 2009
Andreas will present a short introduction to hot research topics and state-of-the-art numerical methods in condensed matter physics:
If you like fancy descriptions, one could say: High-temperature superconductivity, quantum hall physics, ultra-cold atomic gases and quantum computation using exact diagonalization, density-matrix renormalization group calculations and quantum Monte-Carlo simulations. Or in other words, I'll try to explain you why even 20 years after the discovery of "high-temperature" (roughly -200°C) superconductors, no one understands the mechanism behind it and why defense departments sponsor quantum computing centers.

October 29th I'll follow a COMSOL Multiphysics Workshop in Geneva (Introduction and presentation on FEMLAB, a matlab-based interface for the resolution of differential equations using Finite Element Methods (FEM)). and I'll give a short introduction on FEM and FEMLAB during the Journal Club.
