Numerical simulation of the physical spin and charge response of correlated materials

电子是在金属、半导体和绝缘体中形成电流的物体。现代电子设备之所以成为可能，是因为我们能够理解和控制电子在材料中的运动方式，或者当暴露在光或外加电压下时发生反应的能力。令人惊讶的是，我们对电子在材料中的确切行为的理解是非常初级的。这个问题的根本原因是电子之间的复杂相互作用与电子的数量成指数关系，电子的数量约为阿伏伽德罗常数(6.02x10

Electrons are the objects that form current in metals, semi-conductors and insulators. Modern day electronic devices are possible due to our ability to understand and control how electrons move in materials, or react when exposed to light or an applied voltage. Surprisingly, our understanding of precisely how electrons behave in materials is very rudimentary. The root cause of this problem is that the complex interactions between electrons scale exponentially with the number of electrons, which is on the order of Avogadro’s constant (6.02x10
