Hello, bonjour, dobar dan, goedendag,

2
00:00:07,630 --> 00:00:10,860
Welcome to the eighth homework session of

3
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:14,050
Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms and Computations

4
00:00:14,050 --> 00:00:18,050
from the Phi-sics department of Ecole Normale Superieure.

5
00:00:18,050 --> 00:00:22,050
This week is all about Ising model.

6
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:26,050
In the lecture and the tutorial, you were presented

7
00:00:26,050 --> 00:00:30,050
with basic numerical approaches, like the Metropolis

8
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:31,960
or the heat-bath algorithm, 

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,710
but also with the cluster method,

10
00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:39,990
that goes through the space configuration with breath-taking speed

11
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,990
this is something you must see by yourself

12
00:00:45,230 --> 00:00:48,970
In the tutorial, we also showed a curious coupling phenomenon

13
00:00:48,970 --> 00:00:51,540
where all configurations come together

14
00:00:51,540 --> 00:00:55,260
Again, how these configurations come together is something

15
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:57,480
that you have to see by yourself

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,480
and then you will make it into a perfect sampling algorithm

17
00:01:02,860 --> 00:01:06,310
So in this week's homework you will program cluster

18
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:10,310
and coupling algorithm, or rather download run and modify

19
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:12,140
the ones that we provide.

20
00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:16,520
So, have fun with Homework session 8

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:22,170
the penultimate homework session of Statistical Mehcanics: Algorithms and Computations

22
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:26,170
and see you again next week.
