Hubbard model and holography:
the key to strange metals
A theoretical physics research project funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia. We are a 4-person team set to improve our understanding of the strange metals through systematic numerical simulation of the Hubbard model, comparison of results with quantum simulations and phenomenogical and gravitational theories.
At the Scientific Computing Laboratory, Institute of Physics Belgrade, we are harnessing the power of our computational cluster PARADOX to try and answer some fundamental quenstions in condensed matter physics. One of the central questions is that of the high-temperature superconductivity: what drives it, and how do we push its critical temperature upwards from the current best, 134 K (-139 °C)? The answer probably lies in the strange metal phase od cuprate superconductors, a peculiar state of matter where resistivity grows linearly with temperature.
