So, I'm delving into simulating Quantum Field Theories on the lattice again, for self-education, but also to complement the second edition of our Quantum Field Theory textbook, which is kind of overdue.
I find the ideas behind this very fascinating, so maybe I'll share some of my journey here.
Here's my first quantitative result on a 16x16x16x16 spacetime lattice, the two point correlations of a free scalar field with a mass of 0.2 units. Amazingly, the exponential decay says that the Mass is 0.2 units - success!
So join in with the fun :)

"Tutorium Quantenfeldtheorie" - Textbook © 2016 "Neustart des LHC: neue Physik" - Book © 2016 "Neustart des LHC: das Higgs-Teilchen und das Standardmodell" - Book © 2016 2016 must have been an exciting year for you... Not sure when precisely in 2016 those happened, but my congratulations on the 10th anniversary of publication, @Quantensalat !
