This division is a theoretical laboratory for quantum physics and materials science.
Our goal is to understand diverse quantum many-body phenomena and to realize theoretical designs of functional materials. We are tackling this challenging problem with advanced theoretical and numerical methods. In particular, we develop a novel framework of materials science incorporating machine learning techniques and conduct state-of-the-art numerical simulations for strongly correlated electron systems, whose complete theoretical description remains the “holy grail” of condensed matter physics.
By extracting the essence from the results of advanced numerical simulations, we aim to elaborate our understanding of quantum phenomena and create novel concepts in theoretical physics. Furthermore, by accumulating guidelines for predicting physical properties, we explore the frontier of materials science: theory-driven functional materials design.
