Tutorials

spin computations, for developing code to perform exact diagonalization of XXZ Hamiltonian and calculating entanglement entropy
quantum optics, for basic commutation algebra using python library sympy
quantum ising, for exact solution using Jordan-Wigner and Bogoliubov transformations

Computation

Python has become the primary computation language for me and I mostly use the Anaconda Distribution. For access to more diverse analytical tools I sometimes use SageMath.

My Cluster (172.16.0.12, local access only)

The are currently four nodes, each with 64GB RAM. The compute nodes can only be accessed from master. The /home and /software folders are shared among the nodes.

	nCores	clock (GHz)
master	20	2.2
compute2-3	16	2.1
compute4-6	20	2.2
