Research Interest

Development of computational methods

So far, I have been involved in

    • Symmetry adapted Wannier mode in Wannier90 (http://www.wannier.org)
    • Constrained density-functional perturbation theory (for deriving electron-phonon coupled Hamiltonian)
    • Estimation of interaction parameters tailored for dynamical mean-field solvers
    • Implementation of dynamical mean-field solvers (CT-HYB and CT-INT)
    • Double-expansion CT-HYB solver to treat retarded exchange interaction (dynamical J)
    • Improvement of negative-sign problem in CT-INT by single-particle basis transformation and by efficient treatment of spin-flip and pair-hopping interactions
    • Speed up (~ 10 times) of CT-INT solver by the introducing submatrix update


I am now involved in

    • Machine-learning solvers to study many-body quantum systems
    • RESPACK (https://sites.google.com/view/kazuma7k6r): open-source program for GW, constrained random phase approximation (cRPA), and maximally localized Wannier function
    • Implementation of Trilex (independently from the original implementation of Ayral and Parcollet) and its extension to multi-orbital systems
    • Development of efficient solver for electron-boson coupled Hamiltonian
    • Efficient calculation of two-particle quantities using the idea of sparse modeling


I am also interested in

    • Finite-temperature or time-dependent calculation using variational Monte Carlo technique

Strong correlations, strong electron-phonon coupling, and unconventional superconductivity

I use ab initio techniques to study these systems. So far, I have studied

    • Alkali-doped fullerides and aromatic superconductors
    • Iron-based superconductors
    • Cuprate bulk and interface
    • Honeycomb lattice iridate Na2IrO3
    • Compressed sulfur hybrids H2S and H3S
    • Transition metal oxide SrVO3
    • (111) bilayers of LaAuO3 and SrIrO3
    • Organic conductor (TMTSF)2PF6

and so on…

In ongoing projects, I am studying

    • Cuprates
    • Alkali-doped fullerides
    • Rare-earth nickelates RNiO3
    • Surface adatom systems
    • 5d pyrochlore oxide Cd2Os2O7
    • Heavy-fermion compound LiV2O4

and so on…

Phonons in strongly-correlated materials

I am interested in how phonons affect electrons and vice versa. For this purpose, I am interested in the development of more efficient/accurate solver for electron-boson coupled Hamiltonians.

Non-equilibrium problems

I am especially interested in superconductivity realized in non-equilibrium situation.
