The theoretical understanding of emergent phenomena in quantum materials is one of the greatest challenges in condensed matter physics. In contrast to simple materials such as noble metals and semiconductors, macroscopic properties of quantum materials cannot be predicted by the properties of individual electrons. One of the examples of scientific importance is strongly correlated electron system. Neither localized nor itinerant behaviors of electrons in partially filled 3d, 4f, and 5f orbitals give rise to rich physics such as Mott insulators, high-temperature superconductors, and superior thermoelectricity, but hinder quantitative understanding of low-lying excitation spectrum. Here we present a new first-principles approach to strongly correlated solids. It is Q4 based on a combination of the quasiparticle self-consistent GW approximation and the dynamical mean-field theory. The sole input in this method is the projector to the set of correlated orbitals for which all local Feynman graphs are being evaluated. For that purpose, we choose very localized quasiatomic orbitals spanning large energy window, which contains most strongly hybridized bands, as well as upper and lower Hubbard bands. The self-consistency is carried out on the Matsubara axis. This method enables the first-principles study of Mott insulators in both their paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases. We illustrate the method on the archetypical charge transfer correlated insulators La2CuO4 and NiO, and obtain spectral properties and magnetic moments in good agreement with experiments.

We study the high harmonic generation (HHG) in Mott insulators using Floquet dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We show that the main origin of the HHG in Mott insulators is the doublon-holon recombination, and that the character of the HHG spectrum
differs depending on the field strength. In the weaker-field regime, the HHG spectrum shows a single plateau as in the HHG from gases, and its cut-off energy $epsilon_{rm cut}$ scales linearly with the field strength $E_0$ as $epsilon_{rm cut}=Delta_{rm gap} + alpha E_0$, where $Delta_{rm gap}$ is the Mott gap. On the other hand, in the stronger-field regime, multiple plateaus emerge and the $m$-th cut-off scales as $epsilon_{rm cut,m}=U + m E_0$. We show that this difference originates from the different dynamics of the doublons and holons in the weak- and strong-field regimes. We also comment on the similarities and differences between HHG from Mott insulators and from semiconductors. This proceedings paper complements our recent work, Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 057405 (2018), with additional results and analyses.
While in strongly correlated materials one often focuses on local electronic correlations, the influence of non-local exchange and correlation effects beyond band-theory can be pertinent in systems with more extended orbitals. Thus in many compounds
an adequate theoretical description requires the joint treatment of local and non-local self-energies. Here, I will argue that this is the case for the iron pnictide and chalcogenide superconductors. As an approach to tackle their electronic structure, I will detail the implementation of the recently proposed scheme that combines the quasi-particle self-consistent GW approach with dynamical mean-field theory: QSGW+DMFT. I will showcase the possibilities of QSGW+DMFT with an application on BaFe2As2. Further, I will discuss the empirical finding that in pnictides dynamical and non-local correlation effects separate within the quasi-particle band-width.
We present an efficient textit{ab initio} method for calculating the electronic structure and total energy of strongly correlated electron systems. The method extends the traditional Gutzwiller approximation for one-particle operators to the evaluati
on of the expectation values of two particle operators in a full many-electron Hamiltonian. The method is free of adjustable Coulomb parameters, and has no double counting issues in the calculation of total energy, and has the correct atomic limit. We demonstrate that the method describes well the bonding and dissociation behaviors of the hydrogen and nitrogen clusters. We also show that the method can satisfactorily tackle great challenging problems faced by the density functional theory recently discussed in the literature. The computational workload of our method is similar to the Hartree-Fock approach while the results are comparable to high-level quantum chemistry calculations.
We use the slave-spin mean-field approach to study particle-hole symmetric one- and two-band Hubbard models in presence of Hunds coupling interaction. By analytical analysis of Hamiltonian, we show that the locking of the two orbitals vs.,orbital-sel
ective Mott transition can be formulated within a Landau-Ginzburg framework. By applying the slave-spin mean-field to impurity problem, we are able to make a correspondence between impurity and lattice. We also consider the stability of the orbital selective Mott phase to the hybridization between the orbitals and study the limitations of the slave-spin method for treating inter-orbital tunnellings in the case of multi-orbital Bethe lattices with particle-hole symmetry.
We discuss the recently proposed LDA+DMFT approach providing consistent parameter free treatment of the so called double counting problem arising within the LDA+DMFT hybrid computational method for realistic strongly correlated materials. In this app
roach the local exchange-correlation portion of electron-electron interaction is excluded from self consistent LDA calculations for strongly correlated electronic shells, e.g. d-states of transition metal compounds. Then the corresponding double counting term in LDA+DMFT Hamiltonian is consistently set in the local Hartree (fully localized limit - FLL) form of the Hubbard model interaction term. We present the results of extensive LDA+DMFT calculations of densities of states, spectral densities and optical conductivity for most typical representatives of two wide classes of strongly correlated systems in paramagnetic phase: charge transfer insulators (MnO, CoO and NiO) and strongly correlated metals (SrVO3 and Sr2RuO4). It is shown that for NiO and CoO systems LDA+DMFT qualitatively improves the conventional LDA+DMFT results with FLL type of double counting, where CoO and NiO were obtained to be metals. We also include in our calculations transition metal 4s-states located near the Fermi level missed in previous LDA+DMFT studies of these monooxides. General agreement with optical and X-ray experiments is obtained. For strongly correlated metals LDA$^prime$+DMFT results agree well with earlier LDA+DMFT calculations and existing experiments. However, in general LDA+DMFT results give better quantitative agreement with experimental data for band gap sizes and oxygen states positions, as compared to the conventional LDA+DMFT.
