Abstract
Quantum many-body systems have attracted considerable attention because of their emergent properties, which have a wide range of applications such as superconductors for lossless power transmission, high-efficiency photovoltaic devices, and novel transistors for ultrafast switching. In addition, their interactions with light and associated metastable states have further extended the potential applications to quantum control, ultracold matter and quantum computing. Understanding the underlying physics and manipulating emergent properties will be key to an energy-sustainable future. However, due to the complexity of electronic and atomic degrees of freedom, numerical simulations using high-performance computers are usually required. With the help of high-performance computers, complicated microscopic models can be simulated numerically. This enhances our understanding, as well as directs the exploration of novel materials. In this light, this thesis lies in the study of quantum many-body physics utilizing massively parallel computational techniques, with focus on spectroscopy simulations, nonequilibrium problems and novel materials with intertwined orders.
