Abstract: Quantum materials exhibit a spectacular variety of unusual emergent behavior that is practically impossible to predict from first-principles. Experiment is crucial for discovering phenomena such as the metal-insulator-transition, the Kondo effect, or superconductivity. Theory provides the paradigm for understanding these states of matter. Developing such understanding relies on the close interplay between theory and experiment, with experiments constantly putting theoretical ideas to a test. This year’s school covers experimental techniques such as optics, photoemission, $\textbf{NMR}$, and tunneling spectroscopy. Understanding these experiments requires the realistic modeling of materials as well as approaches to solving them. Lectures ranging from the model building schemes to advanced many-body techniques provide the foundation to unraveling the mystery of these materials. Introductions to theoretical approaches for calculating spin, charge, and orbital structure as well as response functions provide direct contact to the experimental probes. The aim of the school is to introduce advanced graduate students and up to the essence of emergence and modern approaches for modeling strongly correlated matter. A school of this size and scope requires support and help from many sources. We are very grateful for all the financial and practical support we have received. The Institute for Advanced Simulation and the German Research School for Simulation Sciences at the Forschungszentrum Jülich provided the major part of the funding and were vital for the organization of the school and the production of this book. The DFG Research Unit $\textbf{FOR}$ 1346 generously supported many of the speakers. The Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter ($\textbf{ICAM}$) offered travel grants for selected international participants. The nature of a school makes it desirable to have the lecture notes available when the lectures are given. This way students get the chance to work through the lectures thoroughly while their memory is still fresh. We are therefore extremely grateful to the lecturers that, despite tight deadlines, provided their manuscripts in time for the production of this book. We are confident that the lecture notes collected here will not only serve the participants of the school but will also be useful for other students entering the exciting field of strongly correlated materials. We are grateful to Mrs. H. Lexis of the Verlag des Forschungszentrum Jülich and to Mrs. D. Mans of the Graphische Betriebe for providing their expert support in producing the present volume on a tight schedule. We heartily thank our students and postdocs who helped with proofreading the manuscripts, often on quite short notice: Michael Baumgärtel, Khaldoon Ghanem, Julian Mußhoff, Esmaeel Sarvestani, Amin Kiani Sheikhabadi, Guoren Zhang, and Qian Zhang. Finally, our special thanks go to Dipl.-Ing. R. Hölzle for his invaluable advice on the innumerable questions concerning the organization of such an endeavor, and to Mrs. L. Snyders for expertly handling all practical issues.
