Theoretical Modeling of Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics in Correlated Materials

Transition-metal dichalcogenides exhibit charge-density-wave order arising from a complex interplay between electron–electron and electron–phonon interactions. The dynamics of domain walls are of particular interest because they strongly affect electrical resistivity and represent a fundamental problem in nonequilibrium condensed-matter physics. This project aims to develop a microscopic understanding of domain-wall behavior and to predict their dynamical properties using analytical and computational methods. This talk will introduce transition-metal dichalcogenides, formulate the central objectives of the PhD project, and discuss the most promising theoretical directions.
