Xiansheng Cai
Xiansheng Cai is a PH.D. student at the Physics department of University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is actively involved in the development of Julia packages under the Numerical Effective Field Theory (NEFT) framework(https://github.com/numericalEFT) for modeling real-world quantum materials using modern quantum field theory. As the leading designer, his efforts have resulted in the creation of powerful tools CompositeGrids.jl for 1D grid representation, BrillouinZoneMeshes.jl for multi-dimensional Brillouin zone meshgrid representation.

This talk presents a new Julia package for efficient and generic Monte Carlo integration in high-dimensional and complex domains, featuring the Vegas algorithm for self-adaptive important sampling and an improved algorithm for increased robustness. The package demonstrates Julia's superiority over C/C++/Fortran and Python for high-dimensional Monte Carlo integration by enabling the easy creation of user-defined integrand evaluation functions with the speed of C and the flexibility of Python.
GreenFunc.jl is a powerful package that offers a solution to the complex computational challenges of quantum many-body systems. The package is developed using native Julia language which offers both speed and flexibility. GreenFunc.jl implements state-of-the-art algorithms for solving quantum many-body problems using a Green's function approach, making it an invaluable tool for researchers in fields such as material design, high-temperature superconductivity, and quantum information technology.
