Outline

Theoretical Design Team

We aim to explore and design new functionalities and phenomena of strongly correlated electrons in close collaboration with the experimental teams in the Correlated Materials Research Group (CMRG). By employing quantum field theory such as gauge theories, and numerical methods such as quantum Monte Carlo simulation, we predict and analyze experiments with feedback from the experimental teams. The main topics of current interest are (1) theories of magneto-electric and magneto-thermal couplings by spin current; (2) numerical studies of photo-induced collective phenomena in correlated electrons; (3) microscopic theory of spin Hall effect; (4) theory of interplay between electron correlation and electron-phonon coupling; and (5) theories of multiple orders of orbit and spin.
