Quantum phenomena are ubiquitous and critical to the functioning of many modern technological devices, for example sensors and computer chips used in mobile phones. Although great strides have been made in recent decades in describing quantum phenomena theoretically, computational modelling is an essential ingredient to describe real experiments and devices. This project aims to develop the next generation of computational tools aimed at two major themes: characterising topological states of matter, and modelling non-equilibrium phenomena. These tools will be invaluable for the design and modelling of quantum devices and novel materials and will enable the development of the next generation of technological devices.

量子现象无处不在，对许多现代技术设备的功能至关重要，例如移动电话中使用的传感器和计算机芯片。尽管近几十年来在理论上描述量子现象方面取得了巨大的进步，但计算建模是描述真实实验和设备的基本要素。该项目旨在开发下一代计算工具，主要针对两个主题：表征物质的拓扑状态和模拟非平衡现象。这些工具对于量子器件和新材料的设计和建模将是无价的，并将使下一代技术器件的发展成为可能。
