Description
This long-term program, hosted by the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), focuses on advancing the intersection of applied algebraic geometry and electronic structure theory, with a particular emphasis on the fermionic quantum many-body problem. The initiative brings together researchers from computational chemistry, machine learning, computer science, and numerical algebra to develop novel numerical approaches and investigate fundamental algebraic-geometric structures underlying strongly correlated electronic systems. The program’s goals include enhancing computational methods for predicting physical properties and response functions of ground and excited states, with applications in emission reduction, green chemistry, and advanced materials for renewable energy.
