Quantum and Kinetic Transport: Tutorials

March 10 - 13, 2009

Overview

We will offer tutorials in the first week of the program, to provide an introduction to the relevant problems as well as to the relevant concepts from mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. It is the goal of these tutorials to familiarize participants with the issues and techniques involved in quantum and kinetic transport, and to create a common language among researchers coming from different fields. These tutorials are particularly aimed at students and junior participants. The main topics that will be addressed in these tutorials are:

  • Mathematical transition from quantum, classical, to hydrodynamics scales.
  • Computational methods for mixed scale problems.
  • Quantum and kinetic models in emerging new applications.
  • Monte Carlo Methods and DSMC.
