Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This monograph provides an introduction to field-theoretic simulations in classical soft matter and Bose quantum fluids. The method represents a new class of molecular computer simulation in which continuous fields, rather than particle coordinates, are sampled and evolved. Field-theoretic simulations are capable of analysing the properties of systems that are challenging for traditional simulation techniques, including

dense phases of high molecular weight polymers, self-assembling fluids, and quantum fluids at finite temperature. The monograph details analytical methods for converting classical and quantum many-body problems to equilibrium field theory models with a molecular basis. Numerical methods are described that enable efficient, accurate, and scalable simulations of such models on modern computer hardware, including graphics processing units (GPUs). Extensions to non-equilibrium systems are discussed, along with an introduction to advanced field-theoretic simulation techniques including free energy estimation, alternative ensembles, coarse-graining, and variable cell methods.

Reviews for Field Theoretic Simulations in Soft Matter and Quantum Fluids

Field-Theoretic Simulations in Soft Matter and Quantum Fluids is a wonderful text that gives clear guidance for how to develop field theoretic models, including many recent developments, as well as best practices for implementing the most common algorithms. It is an indispensable guide for those working in the field. * Robert Riggleman, Professor, University of Pennsylvania * This book provides a delightfully clear and comprehensive guide to the theory and numerical methods required to perform field-theoretic simulations. Suitable for both the novice and the experienced alike, Fredrickson and Delaney have given us a gem to read and reference for years to come. * Joshua Lequieu, Assistant Professor, Drexel University * The book exhibits the striking parallelisms of statistical and quantum field theories, advocates the coherent states formulation as a natural choice for reactive systems, and dives deeply into the implementation of field theoretical sampling algorithms. It is a delightful surprise for those of us who have benefited from the first book by Prof. Fredrickson, and is a source of inspirations for both ambitious graduate students and seasoned researchers. * Jian Qin, Assistant Professor, Stanford University *
