This Project Grant award, totaling $388,397, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Irvine. The funding supports theoretical and computational research and education to advance the understanding of strongly correlated materials, such as high-temperature superconducting cuprates. Key focus areas include studying stripe order, pairing, and pseudogap behavior in cuprate models using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and tensor network techniques. The project also aims to develop more efficient "diagonal models" to speed up quantum and classical computer simulations of molecular electronic structures. The award, effective from Dec 1, 2024 to Nov 30, 2027, leverages the University of California, Irvine's expertise in condensed matter physics, computational chemistry, and materials science to generate new insights and computational tools with potential real-world applications.
