A numerical procedure for computing Wannier functions for one-dimensional crystalline systems

Mathematical Physics Seminar

Speaker: Abi Gopal, UC Davis
Location: 3024 QMAP
Start time: Mon, Dec 2 2024, 3:10PM

A standard task in solid state physics and quantum chemistry is the computation of localized molecular orbitals known as Wannier functions. In this talk, I will present a new numerical procedure for computing Wannier functions for one-dimensional crystalline systems. This is joint work with Hanwen Zhang (Yale).
