Electronic structure and dynamics
Many properties of condensed matter are determined by a systems' electronic structure. The aim of our research is to theoretically understand and quantitatively predict the electronic structure and dynamics of molecules, clusters, and solids. Many-particle quantum mechanics in the framework of (time-dependent) density functional theory is at the heart of our work. We use this theory to understand reality on the atomistic scale, and we further develop it to enable first principles simulations of increasing complexity and predictive power.
