Nominator's project description
| Professor Legeza is an internationally renowned pioneer in the combination of density-matrix renormalization group methods with concepts from quantum information theory for applications in the physics of strongly correlated solids, nuclear structure theory and quantum chemistry. His algorithms and software have enabled many other groups to obtain seminal new insights in these fields. In Germany, he intends to extend the range of his methodology in non-equilibrium settings and further develop embedding methods in quantum chemistry. |
