| Abstract: |
|---|
| I will introduce the functional integral formalism for quantum field theory,
and how fermions are introduced. I will explain how and why we compute
physical quantities using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. I
will then introduce the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm, and some of
the more recent developments based upon it. |
