Understanding interacting many-particle systems: accurate theories for liquids and electronic excitations in solids

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr. Mike Towler .

Despite the simplicity of their microscopic constituents, electrons and nuclei, the theoretical modeling of condensed matter systems is very difficult. The origin of the problem is that a very large number of particles are interacting with each other. In my talk, I will discuss various theoretical approaches to deal with interacting many-particle systems. In the first part, I will introduce a new method to describe molecular liquids, such as water, which plays an important role in biophysics and electrochemistry. In the second part, I will describe recent theories of electronic excitations in materials. Specifically, I will show how an accurate description of the interaction between electrons and plasmons, quantized charge density oscillations, can explain recent photoemission experiments in doped graphene and silicon.
