Capabilities include:
- First-principles simulations of electronic, magnetic, optical properties in complex metal oxides.
- Dynamical mean-field theory in combination with density functional theory in local density approximation for bulk d-electron and f-electron materials.
- First-principles quantum many-body simulations of quantum impurity embedded in metallic host.
- Construction of low-energy models based on the Wannier functions.
