Using the numerical simulation framework Trixi.jl we implement adaptive multiphysics coupling mechanisms. With that we can simulate domains that make use of different kinds of physics. They are coupled through the boundaries in a way that, in principle, one could couple very different systems. Thanks to our adaptive model selection, we can prescribe criteria for changing model adaptively. [High-Performance Scientific Computing]

Due to a new method, artificial neural networks, as used in machine learning, will be able to be trained quicker so as to be able to solve complex problems in quantum mechanics. For example, previously unexplained properties of a special state of matter, the quantum spin liquid, can be calculated, something that has not been possible with any previous method to date. This has been made possible by a new optimisation method developed by the Institute of Physics.
