Condensed Matter Theory

Goals

We perform theoretical research in Condensed Matter Physics. We use and develop a number of theoretical tools ranging from model Hamiltonians to advanced computational methods. Our research involves important analytical as well as numerical developments.

Quantum materials
  – Magnetically and electronically frustrated systems
  – Multiferroics and magnetoelectric materials
  – Superconductivity and superconducting materials
  – Topological matter

First principles theory and simulations
  – DFT and TDDFT
  – Many-body perturbation theory (GW approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation)
  – Wavefunction-based complete active space configuration interaction (CASCI)
