The main research activity of the group is to develop and use MPS (matrix product state) and TTNS (tree tensor network state) based methods for the investigation of strongly correlated quantum systems, such as graphene nanostructures, magnetic properties in solid states, exotic quantum phases, electron structures of molecules, or ultracold atomic systems. The long development and optimization done by the members of the group makes their DMRG implementation (Budapest QC-DMRG program package) leader in the simulation of strongly correlated quantum systems, it has been used with great success in numerous research institutes and universities around the world.
