Scientific activity

This group of researchers is interested in quantum materials and their topological and strong correlation properties. The study ranges from the classification of topological materials to the study of correlated electron systems and the simulation of toy models in which entanglement is present. The quantum N-body problem is one of the themes studied by this group of researchers.
