From time to time, other studentships are offered at Royal Holloway.
In this project, the student will investigate the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum systems in order to explain the recent experimental results. They will learn how to use recently developed mathematical tools useful for analytical calculations and will do High Performance Computing using Graphical Processor Units to simulate numerically the quantum dynamics of many body systems.
Valerie Myerscough, 1942-1980, gained a first in Mathematics in 1962 from Royal Holloway, University of London, and a PhD in Quantum Mechanics in 1965. Following her death a fund was established by her friends and colleagues in her memory and passed to the University. With an additional bequest from her father, the Valerie Myerscough Studentship was established, to be awarded to a student of outstanding ability and potential for original work in Astronomy, Mathematics or Physics.
