Towards an Effective Field Theory Approach to Electronic Structure
中国科学院理论物理研究所
报告摘要:
The development of electronic structure methods such as density functional theory (DFT) and the GW approximation has been driven by the quest for a universal theory capable of accurately predicting material properties. Despite the significant progress made by these methods, a unified framework that consistently describes diverse materials with high precision remains an ongoing challenge. In this talk, we will investigate the potential of effective field theory (EFT) principles to provide a systematic foundation for electronic structure theory, focusing on correlation effects in the electron liquid and its applications in first-principles calculations. We will present our field-theoretical approach that addresses the quasiparticle effective mass puzzle and the long-standing missing Coulomb pseudopotential problem. By deriving the microscopic definition of the pseudopotential using an EFT analysis of electron-phonon superconductivity and calculating the previously unknown pseudopotential μ*, we aim to improve the accuracy of superconducting temperature predictions in low-temperature metals. Furthermore, we will introduce our AI for EFT framework, which explores the application of AI techniques to systematically solve many-body field theories. By working towards a rigorous EFT foundation and leveraging AI, we seek to contribute to the advancement of electronic structure theory, enhancing its accuracy, applicability, and predictive power, with the ultimate goal of facilitating the rational design of materials with targeted properties.
