Synopsis

Almost two decadesago,becauseof the tremendousincreaseinthe powerand utility of computer simulations,The University of Georgiaformed the ?rst - stitutionalunitdevotedtotheuseofsimulationsinresearchandteaching:The Center for Simulational Physics. As the international simulations community expanded further, we sensed a need for a meeting place for both experienced simulators and neophytes to discuss new techniques and recent results in an environment which promoted lively discussion. As a consequence, the Center for Simulational Physics established an annual workshop on Recent Devel- ments in Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed Matter Physics. This year’s workshop was the eighteenth in this series, and the continued int- est shown by the scienti?c community demonstrates quite clearly the useful purpose that these meetings have served. The latest workshop was held at The University of Georgia, March 7–11, 2005, and these proceedings provide a “status report” on a number of important topics. This volume is published with the goal of timely dissemination of the material to a wider audience. We wish to o?er a special thanks to IBM for partial support of this year’s workshop.

From the Back Cover

This volume represents a "status report" emanating from presentations made during the 18^th Annual Workshop on Computer Simulations Studies in Condensed Matter Physics at the Center for Simulational Physics at the University of Georgia in March 2005. It provides a broad overview of the most recent advances in the field, spanning the range from statistical physics to soft condensed matter and biological systems. Results on nanostructures and materials are included as are several descriptions of advances in quantum simulations and quantum computing as well as.methodological advances.
