Description
Tensor network states are widely and very successfully used for the simulation of models of strongly correlated systems. These models are often an oversimplification of real materials. In this talk I will show how tensor network methods can be used in the context of combinations of density functional theory for realistic band structures and embedding methods such as the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to describe real materials quantitatively, such as Hund’s metals or materials with important spin-orbit coupling.
