Strongly correlated systems
Topological and other quantum materials
Quantum transport
Non-equilibrium phenomena
Superconductivity
Ab-initio methods and their applications
Machine learning and materials informatics
The colleagues in condensed matter theory section in the department engage in strong collaborative and interdisciplinary research with theory and experimental groups within and outside the institute. The scholars and postdocs are strongly encouraged to participate in national and international conferences to present their work and initiate scientific exchanges with the expert in the communities. The department has access to good HPCs and a Param class of supercomputing facilities hosted at the institute. More details about the QCMT group can be found here (https://sites.google.com/view/cmt-iitk/)
