The aim of the ERC project Ab initio dynamical vertex approximation is the development, implementation and application of a novel quantum field theoretical method describing electronic correlations on all time and length scales beyond state-of-the-art methods, such as DFT, DMFT, or GW.
The method bears a high potential for a better understanding of quantum critical points, high-Tcs, and transport through nano- and heterostructures.
The group of Karsten Held offers a research topic at the scientific frontier in an international and vivid research environment. Vienna is a favorable location as regards culture and nature. For more information see:
