Description
In the past decade, numerical methods in condensed matter theory has become more and more precise, through the systematic and controlled growth of momentum and frequency resolutions, that is, of the sizes of analyzable systems. Accordingly, they have finally conquered the stage as unbiased and powerful investigation tools autonomous with respect to theoretical methods, which first used them just as a way to check their capabilities to describe the physics buried in models before trying to interpret experiments. The number and variety of numerical methods available in the literature have also grown quite rapidly in the last years and the cases in which they can be successfully applied are increasing day by day. The volume presents the modern numerical methods specifically tailored for the analysis of strongly correlated systems. The exposition has a clear pedagogical cut and fully reports on the most relevant case studies where the specific numerical technique showed to be very successful in describing and enlightening the puzzling physics of a particular strongly correlated system. The book is written for advanced graduate students and post-docs in the field as textbook and/or main reference, but also for researchers in the field who appreciates consulting a single, but comprehensive, source.
