The aim of  the  ERC project Ab initio dynamical vertex approximation is the development, implementation and application of a novel quantum field theoretical method  describing  electronic  correlations on all time and length scales beyond state-of-the-art methods, such as DFT, DMFT,  or GW.

The method bears a high potential for a better understanding of  quantum critical points,  high-Tcs, and transport through  nano- and heterostructures.

The group of Karsten Held offers a research topic at the scientific frontier in an international and vivid research environment. Vienna is a favorable location as regards culture and nature. For more information see:
