Quantum Theory of Materials

We calculate and analyse the complex structural, electronic, magnetic and transport quantities of quantum materials — for fundamental research and practical applications especially in the field of materials for information processing. We develop theoretical concepts and state-of-the-art scientific software also for emerging computing using exascale computers. 

Director: Prof. Dr. Stefan Blügel

Scientists from Jülich, China and Sweden have created and observed for the first time nanoscale 3D magnetic rings in a crystal, as they report in the scientific journal Nature. Their discovery may lead to next generation data storages and neuromorphic computers of the future.

Until recently, work in quantum optics focused on light interacting with bound-electron systems such as atoms, quantum dots, and nonlinear optical crystals. In contrast, free-electron systems enable fundamentally different physical phenomena, as their energy distribution is continuous and not discrete, allowing for tunable transitions and selection rules.
