Computational Quantum Matter Research Team

Materials exhibit a wide variety of properties including metal, semiconductor, magnetism, and superconductor. These different properties are caused by the different behavior of electrons inside materials. The main purpose of our research team is to microscopically understand a variety of quantum phenomena in solid materials using state-of-the-art numerical simulations. The electron in materials interacts with other electrons via Coulomb interaction, nuclei via electron-phonon interaction, and itself via spin-orbit interaction. We particularly focus on emergent quantum phenomena induced cooperatively by these interactions.
