Departmental seminar on 29th November 2023
Filip Uhlík delivers his professorship lecture Chemistry by rolling dices.
Monte Carlo methods can be applied essentially to any problem. For most they would be quite poor, but there are some where they win and sometimes they are the only applicable methods we have. With costs of computing steadily and rapidly decreasing, their embarrassingly parallel nature is another advantage. In this lecture I would like to cover various aspects of the versatile Hamiltonian Monte Carlo method and to give several examples how it can be applied to studying problems of chemical interests.
The lecture will take place in person, in the hall CH3, Faculty of Science, Hlavova 8, Praha 2.
