Strongly Correlated Electrons for Topological Quantum Phases with Amplified Responses
Abstract
The proposed research aims to demonstrate a materials-design principle for topological matter. We will use electron correlations in cooperation with crystalline symmetry to realize topological phases with amplified responses. We will develop and utilize new theoretical and computational approaches to tackle realistic models. Three distinct but interconnected projects are proposed. These concern correlated topological phases in f- and d-electron materials and their amplified responses. The new design principle has the potential to realize new topological quantum materials with amplified responses. The correlated topological materials with enhanced responses may enable new routes to technologies such as quantum sensing and quantum computation. In addition, the proposed research will provide new opportunities to train junior researchers.
