Heisenberg model
During my Bachelor in Physics, I was tasked to simulate the Heisenberg model onto a 2D lattice for my internship.
Monte Carlo computational simulation take advantage of randomness grounded in the real physical rules of the world in order to extrapolate what would happen after some time from a starting configuration.
Through this project and simulations coded in Python, I was able to expose and discover the presence of Kousterlitz-Thouless transition, which are a topological phase transition with the presence of vortices. The discovery of this type of transition was awarded the Nobel Prize of Physics in 2016.
The report of this project is available in french here.
