College Outstanding Research Award to Computational Physics Duo

Boris Svistunov and Nikolay Prokof'ev were awarded the Outstanding Research Award of the College of Natural Sciences at the first convocation of the newly constituted college. They were recognized for their path-breaking collaborative work in the field of computational studies of quantum condensed matter systems by new algorithms such as the "worm" algorithm, and diagrammatic Monte Carlo. A recent discovery of theirs was showcased at the American Physical Society's online journal, Physics.
