The ALF User Workshop is aimed at both beginners and advanced users of the package and consists of two main parts:

Getting to Know ALF: tutorial, basic and advanced — starting on Monday, February 14th;
ALF in Production: workgroup projects and advanced features — starting on Wednesday, February 16th.

Which are preceded by a Pre-event: ALF installation, held before the official start of the conference, on the 11th Feb. In order to accomodate participants from different time zones, we plan to hold it twice, on two different times (GMT+1):

• 10:00  (17:00 in Beijing)
• 17:00  (08:00 in LA)

The event is online and will be held on Zoom.

Participants are expected to have a working ALF installation at the beginning of the conference, and users new to ALF will reach the second part of the workshop with a basic knowledge of the package. It's also possible to attend only the second, more advanced part of the workshop.

The workshop will take place online, in a main common Zoom room for the presentations, and break-out rooms for individual support and workgroup meetings. And you can always chat to us at ALF's Discord server.

The core of the event are hands-on sessions where participants work through tutorial exercises (1st part) and workgroup projects (2nd part). After explanatory presentations describing ALF's usage and core aspects of its code, the organizers will remain on-call to provide any support needed. For participants wishing to give themselves a headstart, there is a lot of documentation available. In the second part of the workshop, participants will be able to form groups, work through simple projects and present their results on the last day of the event.

Participants are encouraged to submit contributions. The event also includes contributed talks by participants.

The Algorithms for Lattice Fermions package provides a general open-source code for finite-temperature auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo models.

Models can be specified at minimal programing cost, on arbitrary 1- and 2-D Bravais lattices. Parallel tempering, as well as projective and finite-temperature approaches are available. Suitable for both benchmarking and golden standards.
