In recent years, powerful numerical techniques have been developed to tackle various two-dimensional materials on the atomic level including quantum many-body systems. With the advent of machine learning, quantum simulations and tensor networks, the tool-box has been considerably extended which can now complement more traditional methods such as First-Principle and Density Functional, Dynamical Mean-Field or atomistic Hartree-Fock theories. The aim of the conference is to address new developments of these numerical methods when applied to large-scale atomistic two-dimensional systems which also include quasi three-dimensional moiré systems or non-commensurate quasicrystals. Implications on quantum transport, unconventional superconductivity, magnetic ordering and many-body ground states shall also be discussed.

This workshop brings together researchers developing and applying advanced numerical methods to study the rich physics of carbon-based systems. Topics will span moiré systems, van der Waals heterostructures, low-dimensional nanocarbons, and charge and heat transport in complex carbon architectures. Emphasis will be placed on method development, including electronic structure, many-body approaches, machine learning and multiscale modeling techniques. The workshop aims to foster collaboration across communities working on graphene, carbon nanotubes, twisted bilayers, and related quantum materials.
