This $475,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support theoretical research and education on the physics of strongly correlated quantum materials at William Marsh Rice University from September 2022 through August 2025. Specifically, the Principal Investigator will apply and develop theoretical methods to study quantum criticality in heavy fermion systems, novel phases that emerge near quantum critical points such as candidate spin-triplet superconductivity, non-Fermi liquid physics in Weyl-Kondo semimetals, and out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum critical systems. In addition, the award will support preparation of a graduate-level textbook on heavy fermions and quantum phase transitions, as well as dissemination of research advances through review articles and workshops to educate junior scientists and students. This work aligns with the NSF's mission to advance the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the Nation's scientific enterprise.
