Dear Psi-k Community

We are pleased to announce the upcoming

Symposium on Bridging Quantum Monte Carlo and High-Performance Simulations
organized by the TREX Centre of Excellence in Exascale Computing 

in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg, from February 5 to 9, 2024.

The symposium focuses on the latest developments in Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, also in relation to High-Performance Computing (HPC). Topics covered include materials simulations with QMC, method developments, HPC implementations, machine learning for QMC, transcorrelated methods, and others. The event will also showcase the progress of TREX codes and libraries, including QMCkl and TREXIO.

The symposium is tailored to researchers, scientists, and professionals within the quantum chemistry and physics, materials science, and high-performance computing domains.

Registration is open until filled on the symposium website:
