Brief description Theoretical studies of strongly correlated quantum states in novel condensed matter systems. Strongly correlated quantum electronic and magnetic systems represent one of the most active and exciting areas of condensed matter physics, and one that will continue to have a major bearing on technology. We will pursue an extensive program of research into many aspects of this field, using a variety of analytical and numerical methods, in many of which we are among the world leaders. The project will add significantly to understanding of the physics of quantum phase transitions, spin-liquids, novel superconductors, and other related phenomena, and of the properties of quantum lattice models.
