Novel Monte Carlo Algorithms for Fermionic Systems are badly needed in high energy and solid state physics. At this workshop the newest developments in this direction were presented, in particular those concerning multi-grid techniques, cluster algorithms and massively parallel implementations.
This book consists of a series of lectures to cover every facet of the modern version of lattice QCD. All the lectures are self-contained starting with the necessary background material and ending up with the latest development. Most of the lectures are given by pioneers in the field.This book may be useful as an advanced textbook for graduate students in particle physics and its modern and fascinating contents will inspire the interest of the non-experts.
The papers presented here focus on new developments in both theoretical and phenomenological aspects of standard theory, with an emphasis on understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. This workshop covers the formal aspects and the related new models of electroweak symmetry breaking and the present status of the Standard Model.
This volume summarizes our contemporary understanding of the deconfinement transition in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential. Questions as to whether a quark-gluon plasma exists in the interior of dense astrophysical objects or which bound-state signals have to be studied in order to unambiguously detect the QCD phase transition(s) in future heavy-ion collision programmes at RHIC and LHC are addressed. Progress in answering these questions requires a fusion of lattice QCD with other nonperturbative approaches and low-energy effective models for QCD. Experts in these fields present in the book their methods and their results in understanding the deconfinement phenomenon.
Exciting developments in strategic areas of science and engineering makes for possible new engineered structures identified as quantum metamaterials. These new structures offer unusual properties that involve fundamental concepts such as entangled quantum states, superposition, quantum coherence, analog quantum simulation, etc., opening a new era of technological advancement. This manuscript presents the output of a recent workshop held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2018. It covers the key scientific ideas, various technical approaches under investigation, and the potential technological outcomes in a new field of research.
Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed-Matter Physics VI provides a broad overview of recent developments in this field. Based on the last workshop, it presents invited and contributed papers which describe new physical results, simulational techniques and ways of interpreting simulational data. Both classical and quantum systems are discussed.
This archival volume is an invaluable collection of rigorously reviewed articles by experts in the fields of gene families, DNA, RNA and proteins, to commemorate the passing of a giant of science — Professor Clement L Markert (1917-1999).In 1959, Clement Markert and Freddy Moller developed the concept of the isozyme, which paved the way for extensive studies of enzyme, protein and gene multiplicity across all living organisms. This important scientific discovery has had a profound influence on the biological sciences for more than 40 years, and has provided the basis for regular international meetings to discuss the biological and biomedical implications of enzyme multiplicity. More recently, this concept has been extended to a wide range of gene families of DNA, RNA, proteins and enzymes.
