Nominator's project description

Professor Ma is well known internationally for his outstanding research on the efficient description of the quantum wavefunctions of chemical compounds by tensor network states. He has made important contributions to make these representations fruitful for compounds dominated by strong correlation effects. Professor Ma combines this activity with an additional broad range of established methods for calculations in quantum chemistry. During his stay in Germany, he intends to investigate new tensor network geometries and time-evolution methods for the calculation of the dynamics of strongly correlated compounds.
