SUMMARY:A new open-source Python 2.7 package for quantum dynamics of many-b
	ody spin chains
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Phillip Weinberg and Marin Bukov\, Boston University\
	nHosted by: Claudio Chamon\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Semin
	ar Series.\n\nTHIS IS A HANDS-ON TALK:\n \n1) we would like to ask the inte
	rested participants to BRING along their LAPTOP computers in order to insta
	ll the package and interactively learn how to run and use the example codes
	 we have prepared. \n\n2) For first-time users of Python\, we recommend tha
	t you INSTALL Anaconda for Python 2.7 on your computer BEFORE the seminar b
	egins. It can be downloaded at https://www.continuum.io/downloads . Also\, 
	if you do not have an editor\, we recommend that you download Sublime Text 
	from https://www.sublimetext.com/3 .\n\nIn this hands-on talk we present a 
	new open-source Python 2.7 package for quantum dynamics of many-body spin c
	hains based on exact diagonalisation. The package is well-suited to study\,
	 among others\, quantum quenches at finite and infinite times\, the Eigenst
	ate Thermalisation hypothesis\, many-body localisation and other dynamical 
	phase transitions\, periodically-driven (Floquet) systems\, adiabatic and c
	ounter-diabatic ramps\, and spin-photon interactions. We explain how to use
	 the package using three detailed examples: (i) adiabatic ramping of parame
	ters in the many-body localised XXZ model\, (ii) heating in the periodicall
	y-driven transverse-field Ising model in a parallel field\, and (iii) quant
	ised light-atom interactions: recovering the periodically-driven atom in th
	e semi-classical limit of a static Hamiltonian.
