We present systematic quantitative description of the magnetoconductance of the split-gate quantum wires. Accounting for the exchange and correlation interactions within the spin density function theory (DFT) leads to the lifting of the…

This article is part-I of a review of density-functional theory (DFT) that is the most widely used method for calculating electronic structure of materials. The accuracy and ease of numerical implementation of DFT methods has resulted in…

We study the conduction band spin splitting that arises in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductor monolayers such as MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and WSe$_2$ due to the combination of spin-orbit coupling and lack of inversion…

Conventional quantum transport methods can provide quantitative information on spin, orbital, and valley states in quantum dots, but often lack spatial resolution. Scanning tunneling microscopy, on the other hand, provides exquisite spatial…

We present a first-principles framework to extract deformation potentials in Silicon based on density-functional theory (DFT) and density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT). We compute the electronic band structures, phonon dispersion…

We present a rigorous method to reduce the three-dimensional (3D) description of a quantum dot in silicon to an effective two-dimensional (2D) envelope function theory for electron spin qubits. By systematically integrating out the strongly…

Despite its widespread use, density functional theory (DFT) has several notable areas of failure; perhaps the most well-studied of these failures is self-interaction error (SIE). Density corrected DFT (DC-DFT) was proposed as a potential…

We benchmark the ground state energies and the density profiles of atomic repulsive Fermi gases in optical lattices computed via Density Functional Theory (DFT) against the results of diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) simulations. The main focus…

Materials engineering using atomistic modeling is an essential tool for the development of qubits and quantum sensors. Traditional density-functional theory (DFT) does however not adequately capture the complete physics involved, including…

Silicon quantum chips offer a promising path toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing, with the potential to host millions of qubits. However, scaling up dense quantum-dot arrays and enabling qubit interconnections through…

Density functional theory (DFT) has emerged as one of the most versatile and lucrative approaches in electronic structure calculations of many-electron systems in past four decades. Here we give an account of the development of a…

In this contribution we present the results of Density-Functional Theory (DFT) calculations of platelets as modelled by infinite planar arrangements of hydrogen atoms and vacancies in (100) planes of silicon. From the observation of the…

Electron transfer with changing occupation in the 4f subshell poses a considerable challenge for quantitative predictions in quantum chemistry. Using the example of cerium oxide, we identify the main deficiencies of common…

A comparative study of fracture in Al is carried out by using quantum mechanical and empirical atomistic description of atomic interaction at crack tip. The former is accomplished with the density functional theory (DFT) based…

An important challenge in silicon quantum electronics in the few electron regime is the potentially small energy gap between the ground and excited orbital states in 3D quantum confined nanostructures due to the multiple valley degeneracies…

Nuclear quantum effects are essential for correctly describing hydrogen-rich materials at high pressures. Superconducting hydrides and ice are prime examples of such systems, requiring the inclusion of lattice anharmonicity and nuclear…

We generalize the idea of symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT) for subsystem symmetry. We propose the 2-foliated BF theory with level $N$ in $(3+1)$d as subsystem SymTFT for subsystem $\mathbb Z_N$ symmetry in $(2+1)$d. Focusing on…

While the ground state of magnetic materials is in general well described on the basis of spin density functional theory (SDFT), the theoretical description of finite-temperature and non-equilibrium properties require an extension beyond…

The thorough treatment of electron-lattice interactions from first principles is one of the main goals in condensed matter physics. While the commonly applied adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer approximation is sufficient for describing many…

Understanding the properties of warm dense hydrogen is of key importance for the modeling of compact astrophysical objects and to understand and further optimize inertial confinement fusion (ICF) applications. The work horse of warm dense…
