Research Group: Correlated Electrons and Topology

Welcome to our group webpage!  We focus on theoretical and numerical studies of condensed matter physics. Below you find links to the research and teaching activities of our group.

What's new?

• 23.09.2020 -- Aufgrund der COVID-19-Situation werden die Vorlesungen "Rechenmethoden für Lehramt Physik (WS2020/21)" online abgehalten. Auf dieser Webseite finden Sie aktualisierte Informationen.
• 19.10.2020 -- Felix Kunzmann joins our group to work on his Master thesis.
• 15.10.2020 -- Pleasant surprise: The online teaching for Solid State Theory (SS2020) has brought me the Teaching Award 2020 (Lehrpreis der Gesellschaft von Freunden und Förderern der TU Dresden e. V.). I am very grateful to course participants and the Fachschaftsrat Physik for the nomination, the Gesellschaft von Freuden und Förderern der TU Dresden e. V. for giving me the prize, and colleagues (especially Prof. Jan von Delft) who helped me with improving teaching. The prize money (2000 Euro) will be used for further improving teaching in the next semesters.
• 05.10.2020 -- Hua-Chen Zhang (PhD student at Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) has been awarded a scholarship under the CAS-DAAD-programme and starts his research stay in our group.
• 26.08.2020 -- Christoph Schlecht joins our group to work on his Master thesis.
• 19.06.2020 -- Joint work with Ying-Hai Wu (HUST) and Lei Wang (IOP, CAS) on Tensor network representations of parton wave functions is published in Phys. Rev. Lett.; see link and recent  slides. Short summary: We have devised a systematic approach to represent parton wave functions (also known as Gutzwiller projected wave functions) as tensor network states and compress them into matrix product states. This nicely combines the advantanges of two methods – tensor networks and variational Monte Carlo – that have been widely used in condensed matter physics and quantum chemistry.
