SDL Numerical Quantum Field Theory

The goal of the SDL Numerical Quantum Field Theory is to understand the properties of strongly interacting/correlated matter. It networks with and supports research groups on and off campus, in Germany and Europe, which perform or aim to perform large-scale simulations in the field. This determines its broad work program, where the SDL’s scientific objectives range from the study of nucleon properties to strongly correlated electronic systems, such as graphene or carbon nanostructures like carbon nanotubes. Furthermore, the SDL develops algorithms and implementations for various HPC systems, in particular for the Modular Supecomputer Architecture. The SDL organizes workshops, such as the “Lattice Practices” series and interfaces with research groups with hardware vendors in events like joint hackathons, aimed at, in particular, young researchers.

Projects

a

NRW-FAIR

NRW-FAIR is a network of physicists working in the field of hadron and particle physics with the common goal of investigating a persistent challenge: the origin of matter from the fundamental particles of the Standard Model of particle physics.

a

STXDemo

The STXDemo project will provide a proof of concept for future energy-efficient high-performance comput­ing. It will develop a hardware prototype made of a motherboard with multiple STX processors, which are processing units optimized to solve stencil algorithms, developed within the EU European Processor Initiative (EPI).

a

PUNCH4NFDI

Within PUNCH4NFDI, the consortium of particle physics, astroparticle physics, astrophysics and hadron and nuclear physics in the NFDI, we develop efficient simulation and analysis software, revive the ILDG, and tackle the RDM challenges of the LQCD community in a FAIR way.

a

SFB NuMeriQS

The Collaborative Research Center "NuMeriQS: Numerical Methods for Dynamics and Structure Formation in Quantum Systems" links numerical methods developed in physics and chemistry with each other and these in turn with the latest developments in mathematics and computer science.
