Correlated Electron Systems: Challenges and Future Gabriel Kotliar Rutgers University
What do we want from materials theory? • New concepts , qualitative ideas • Understanding, explanation of existent experiments, and predictions of new ones. • Quantitative capabilities with predictive power.
Materials Theory a) System specific properties. b) General principles, universal features. • Qualitative insights, quantitative techniques, analytical and computational. • Development of methods and algorithms, and study of system specific applications. Balanced Approach
