1. Quantum Cluster Methods for Correlated Materials Sherbrooke, 6-8 Juillet 2005

2. Quantum Cluster Methods for Correlated Materials Does the Hubbard model have a d-wave superconducting ground state? What is the origin of the pseudogap in high- temperature superconductors? When do stripes and other inhomogeneous phases appear? How can we predict properties of materials with d and f electrons? (or cold atoms)
