Whitlock 9901242A US-Brazil collaborative research proposal between Dr. Paula A. Whitlock, Brooklyn College and Research Foundation, CUNY and Professor Silvio A. Vitiello, University of Campinas, Brazil for a three-year study of shadow wavelength investigations of helium films adsorbed on a variety of surfaces by Quantum Monte Carlo methods. The US PI will benefit from complementary strengths of her Brazilian counterpart. Professor Vitiello, for example, is a noted expert in the area of numerical studies of quantum many-body physical systems with a particular emphasis on superfluid Helium, while Dr. Whitlock is one of the pioneers in the simulation by exact methods of quantum fluids. Further, this collaboration will strengthen US institutional ties with an CAPINAS, a Brazilian research institution noted for its quality investigations and analysis.The principle goal of this research is to broaden scientific knowledge and will undoubtedly resolve many issues in microscopic theory.

纽约市立大学布鲁克林学院和研究基金会的Paula a . Whitlock博士和巴西Campinas大学的Silvio a . Vitiello教授之间的美国-巴西合作研究计划，通过量子蒙特卡罗方法对吸附在各种表面上的氦膜的阴影波长进行为期三年的研究。美国PI将受益于巴西PI的互补优势。例如，Vitiello教授是量子多体物理系统数值研究领域的著名专家，特别强调超流体氦，而Whitlock博士是量子流体精确模拟方法的先驱之一。此外，这项合作将加强美国与CAPINAS的机构关系，CAPINAS是一家以高质量的调查和分析而闻名的巴西研究机构。这项研究的主要目的是拓宽科学知识，无疑将解决微观理论中的许多问题。
