Thermal evolution of the physics near a QCP with temperature
decreasing in the foreground. Green oval represents unpaired spin
complexes responsible for the inelastic scattering which causes the
non-Fermi liquid behavior. Light blue oval region demonstrates that
the majority of the magnetic moments in the system are coupled into
a singlet state.

The origin of the quantum critical point in the Hubbard model is a
long standing question. Using very large scale simulations, we find
it is associated with the second order terminus of a line of first
order transitions. As a function of a control parameter this
critical point may be driven to zero temperature, yielding the
quantum critical phenomena.
veral graduate fellowship positions are available at the
department of Physics and Astronomy of Louisiana State University.
The fellows will participate in a joint
theory/computational/experimental program to study quantum critical
phenomena in strongly correlated systems. We expect to have several
computational positions and one each in theory and experiments.
Students involved in this project will have access to the best
research equipment and work with one of the leading groups in this
rapidly emerging field. Computational students will have access to
the world’s fastest supercomputers and the most modern
computational formalism, algorithms and codes. For more details,
contact Prof. Mark Jarrell (mjarrell@lsu.edu).
