The theoretical Condensed Matter Physics group works primarily on the modeling and simulation of new and novel materials systems. Our researchers use state-of-the-art computational and many-body techniques, including exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo simulation, to study the electron correlation effects in new materials systems. Current projects include calculation of the spectroscopy of highly correlated electronic systems, including clusters and thin films, electronic structure modeling of quantum wells, quantum dots, and new semiconductor compounds, and renormalization group studies of lower-dimensional systems.
