Turning reduced density matrix theory into a practical tool for studying the Mott transition

Strongly correlated systems pose a challenge for theoretical methods based on an independent electron approximation. Such methods struggle to predict a nonzero gap in Mott insulators or to capture the correct physics of the insulator-to-metal phase transition in strongly correlated materials. In a r...
