International collaboration

Augsburg University, Germany, prof. dr. Dieter Vollhardt

Professor Vollhardt has made outstanding contribution in developing the DMFT as well as Anderson localization and phenomenology of superfluidity in helium three. He was awarded many prizes, the most important are in 2006, the EPS Lucent technology price, and in 2010 Max Planck medal. He is a leader of theory group III at Augsburg University and one of three initiators of the Center for Strong Correlations and Magnetism (EKM) in Augsburg. He had many successful projects and collaborations with K. Byczuk during the past 10 years. In this project he will provide general expertise of correlated electron systems, magnetism, and disorder.

University of Florida, prof. Anthony J. C. Ladd

Professor Ladd is one of the leading experts in the computational soft matter physics. He was the first to introduce lattice-Boltzmann methods to simulate particle-laden flows. One of the main advantages of this method is that it is massively scalable and can run on thousands of CPUs concurrently, which makes it one of the most efficient computational techniques in soft matter modeling today.

Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, prof. dr. Walter Hofstetter

Prof. Hofstetter is a well known experts on correlated fermions and bosons on optical lattices with disorder and trap potentials. He developed NRG program for solving DMFT impurity problem. The program and the general expertise are planned to be used in this project.

Institute of Physics, Academy of Science, Czech Republic, dr. Jan Kunes

Dr. Kunes uses LDA and DMFT approach to model and predict properties of materials with strongly correlated electrons. He offers collaboration in developing LDA programs to determine tight-binding parameters for systems with inhomogeneous structures.
