This course is meant to provide the students with a real-life experience in the solution of a strongly correlated electron system/material.

We will select a model motivated by recent research while being solvable in a short time and we will first solve it using the Hartree-Fock approximation (static mean-field). This will be the first part, held in January-February.

For those who will attend also the course on Strongly Correlated Electrons, we will have a second part where we solve the model with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), which contains dynamical effects beyond mean-dield, and compare the results with Hartree-Fock. This will highlight the improvements brought by DMFT as well as the conditions in which static mean-field remains a good approximation.
