Computational Physics

Computational physics has become the third pillar of present-day physics, apart from experimental physics and theoretical physics. The corresponding research area primarily examines the development of algorithms for atomistic simulation regarding quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, in particular aimed at questions of materials science. Its fields of application range from soft matter and nanomaterials to surface and semi-conductor physics and physics of metals.
