Description
Nonlinear structure formation with axion dark matter can be studied with cosmological simulations using different initial conditions (in the case of axion minicluster formation) and/or new computational methods to capture wave-like phenomena close to the de Broglie wavelength (in the case of ultralight axions). Some approaches for such simulations will be described and first results presented.
