Simulating quantum states of matter: connecting theory to applications in science and technology.

量子现象无处不在，对许多现代技术设备的功能至关重要，例如手机中使用的传感器和计算机芯片。尽管近几十年来在从理论上描述量子现象方面取得了长足的进步，但计算模型是描述真实实验和设备的重要组成部分。该项目旨在开发针对两个主要主题的下一代计算工具：表征物质的拓扑态，以及对非平衡现象进行建模。这些工具对于量子设备和新材料的设计和建模将是无价的，并将使下一代技术设备的开发成为可能。

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.
