Welcome

Welcome to the home of the ArbeitsGruppe Molecular Materials in the Department of Physics at the FAU Erlangen Nuernberg!

We study correlated electrons in solids and molecules, bridging quantum many-body theory, computational modeling, and – as of late – machine learning techniques. Our research spans from effective models for solids and their treatment with dynamical mean-field approximations (and beyond) to computational material simulation with methods from quantum chemistry.

We are very happy to announce another arXiv preprint together with our Icelandic colleagues: This work introduces a simple yet powerful extension to Neural-Network Configuration Interaction (NNCI) by incorporating natural orbitals (NOs)—the eigenfunctions of the one-particle density matrix—as an opt...

We are excited to announce the latest results from the collaboration with our Icelandic friends from theoretical chemistry as new preprint on arXiv. Our joint work tackles the long-standing challenge of accurately describing Rydberg excited states—molecular states characterized by extremely diffuse ...
