Featured Research
Realising Nevill Mott’s dream for the repulsion driven metal-insulator transition.
AUG 2026 We provide an explanation of the Mott transition in the 2D extended Hubbard model as a confinement-deconfinement transition of holes and doubly occupied sites.
Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Matter
EPQM is a condensed matter group at IISER Kolkata, led by Siddhartha Lal. We explore emergent phenomena in strongly correlated quantum matter.
