When electron correlations are important it is often necessary to use numerical methods to solve the Hamiltonian for a finite system (cluster) "exactly". Unfortunately, such methods are restricted to small systems. We propose to combine the…

Quantum cluster approaches offer new perspectives to study the complexities of macroscopic correlated fermion systems. These approaches can be understood as generalized mean-field theories. Quantum cluster approaches are non-perturbative…
