Quantum materials by computation: challenges and opportunities

In recent time, there has been a world wide surge of activity on Quantum materials, materials whose properties are dominated by quantum fluctuations, quantum entanglement, quantum coherence, topological behavior. In this talk, I will discuss the contribution of computation in understanding and predicting these materials. In particular, I will discuss its application in understanding materials properties by understanding the structure-property relation, prediction of new functionalities in known materials, and predicting new materials all together.
