Guidelines
The work will require testing and adapting codes for spin dynamics simulation. The project aims to understand which methods reach a good accuracy in the fastest way on the data provided by the Laboratoire de Chimie de la matière condensée de Paris (Sorbonne University). The main programming languages will be Julia and MatLab. The work also requires to do a review of the literature on this topic.

The project offers the possibility to collaborate with the international members of the *-Lanczos (www.starlanczos.cz) and the MAGICA project (https://anr.fr/Project-ANR-20-CE29-0007).

Preliminary scope of work
Solving systems of linear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients remains a challenge that can be expressed using the so-called time-ordered exponential (TOE). Many numerical methods for TOE approximation are found in literature based on different approaches such as exponential propagators, Magnus expansion, integration schemes. Recently, new approaches based on the so-called *-products have been tested successfully.
This project aims to test and compare state-of-the-art methods for TOE approximation on problems coming from the simulation of spin dynamics provided by the Laboratoire de Chimie de la matière condensée de Paris, Sorbonne University. If possible, a particular focus will be given to test the *-Lanczos algorithm.
