Quantum Cluster Methods for Correlated Materials Sherbrooke, 6-8 Juillet 2005
Quantum Cluster Methods for Correlated Materials • Does the Hubbard model have a d-wave superconducting ground state? • What is the origin of the pseudogap in high-temperature superconductors? • When do stripes and other inhomogeneous phases appear? • How can we predict properties of materials with d and f electrons? (or cold atoms)
