We implement a computational pipeline based on a recent machine learning technique,
namely, topological data analysis (TDA), that has the capability of extracting powerful …

How many magnetic moments periodically arranged on a metallic surface are needed to
generate a coherent Kondo lattice behavior? We investigate this fundamental issue within …

In heavy-fermion systems, the competition between the local Kondo physics and intersite
magnetic fluctuations results in unconventional quantum critical phenomena which are …

Motivated by recent photoemission and pump-probe experiments, we report determinant
quantum Monte Carlo simulations of hybridization fluctuations in the half-filled periodic …

We elucidate the mechanism by which a Mott insulator transforms into a non-Fermi liquid
metal upon increasing disorder at half filling. By correlating maps of the local density of …

Overlap between neighboring atomic wave functions is a central feature of conducting
solids. In heavy-fermion materials, f-electron orbitals in the lattice lie on the boundary …

When magnetic moments are immersed into the Fermi sea of itinerant electrons, rich
quantum physics emerges. This is relevant for a wide range of materials including heavy …

Heavy-fermion materials are compounds in which localized f orbitals hybridize with
delocalized d ones, leading to quasiparticles with large renormalized masses. The presence …

The Kondo and periodic Anderson models describe many of the qualitative features of local
moments coupled to a conduction band, and thereby the physics of materials such as the …

In this thesis, I explore the nonlinear THz response of correlated metals. In noble metals
such as gold or copper, the electronic wavefunction can be roughly approximated by a free …
