Z-order curve
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematical analysis and computer science, Z-order, Morton order, or Morton code is a space-filling curve which maps multidimensional data to one dimension while preserving locality of the data points. It was introduced in 1966 by G. M. Morton. The z-value of a point in multidimensions is simply calculated by interleaving the binary representations of its coordinate values. Once the data are sorted into this ordering, any one-dimensional data structure can be used such as binary search trees, B-trees, skip lists or (with low significant bits truncated) hash tables. The resulting ordering can equivalently be described as the order one would get from a depth-first traversal of a quadtree;...

Dynamical mean field theory
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) is a method to determine the electronic structure of strongly correlated materials. In such materials, the approximation of independent electrons, which is used in Density Functional Theory and usual band structure calculations, breaks down. Dynamical Mean-Field Theory, a non-perturbative treatment of local interactions between electrons, bridges the gap between the nearly-free electron gas limit and the atomic limit of condensed-matter physics.
