” Towards computational design
of quantum materials”
Unconventional superconductivity with high critical temperatures,
frustrated magnetism, spin liquid behavior, heavy fermions are a few
examples of exotic phases in correlated quantum materials. In a
correlated system electrons experience strong Coulomb repulsion and
one of the big challenges in solid state physics is the microscopic
description of such systems. Moreover, being able to understand these
materials implies the possibility of designing compounds with desirable
properties.
This talk will discuss the world of some families of correlated materials
ranging from unconventional superconductors, frustrated magnets and
possible correlated Dirac metals and present some strategies on how to
model them microscopically.
We will further show how the ideas of the awarded Nobel Prize in
Physics 2016 on "topological phases of matter" has revolutionized our
way of understanding quantum matter.
