Quantum embedding methods, such as Density Matrix Embedding Theory (DMET) and Quantum Defect Embedding Theory (QDET), are powerful tools for describing strongly correlated electronic states in materials. QDET solves an effective Hamiltonian for a strongly-correlated subset of DFT orbitals using full configuration interaction, parameterized via a Green's function approach.<sup>8</sup> DMET, however, maps the solid-state problem onto a self-consistent quantum impurity coupled to a mean-field bath, with the impurity solved by high-level methods.<sup>9</sup> The application of these advanced techniques is rapidly growing, from analysing superconducting cuprates to describing quantum spin defects in semiconductors.<sup>8,9</sup><br>\r\nModel Hamiltonians, such as the multi-band Hubbard model, are increasingly used to describe the low-energy physics of quantum materials.<sup>10</sup> While the constrained random phase approximation is the traditional choice for parametrising these models,<sup>11</sup> the newly developed moment-conserved RPA may offer superior accuracy by conserving instantaneous two-point correlation functions.<sup>12,13</sup> Powerful numerical techniques like Determinant Quantum Monte Carlo have recently been pioneered for solving the model Hamiltonian and predicting quantum phenomena such as pairing susceptibilities.<sup>14</sup><br>\r\nSuch theoretical methods are also essential for computational discovery of spin defects in semiconductors, a promising platform for room-temperature qubits.<sup>3,15</sup> Advanced theoretical treatments are essential to predict defect electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, incorporating effects like spin-orbit and spin-phonon coupling which determine spin coherence and optical manipulation characteristics. The current state-of-the-art combines DFT studies of semiconductor bulk properties with ab initio treatments of the defect; quantum embedding methods are emerging as a promising alternative.<sup>16,17</sup><br>\r\nGiven the immense diversity of materials, high-throughput screening is a cornerstone of modern materials discovery. DFT, particularly with state-of-the-art approximations like r2SCAN+rVV10, remains the workhorse for reliably determining material structures; such calculations often offer critical insight into both a systems stability and electronic structure.<sup>7,18,19,20</sup> Machine learning (ML) is transforming materials discovery by slashing the computational cost of such calculations, allowing a wider exploration of composition space.<sup>21,22</sup><br>\r\nComputational quantum materials modelling is advancing rapidly, however reconciling methods treating strongly correlated electrons with computational workflows employed in modern materials discovery remains relatively unexploited. The synergy of advanced theory, high-performance computing and ML has the potential to drive breakthroughs in quantum materials discovery and accelerate development of emerging technologies, from novel qubit platforms to room-temperature superconductors.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.132.076401\" target=\"_blank\">[1] C.

Initially, many foundational models focused on macroscopic agents – such as flocks, swarms, and driven granular particles – where simple interaction rules give rise to rich collective phenomena. However, over the past two decades, much of the focus has shifted toward microscopic and mesoscopic active systems, especially in soft and biological matter, supported by the technological development of high-resolution imaging, force measurement, and microfabrication. These advances have driven a more refined theoretical understanding, connecting microscopic dynamics with hydrodynamic and continuum-scale descriptions, and have found applications in biophysics, material science, and cellular biology. <br>\r\nIn parallel, yet often semi-independently, active matter concepts have flourished in ecological and robotic systems. In these domains, the agents – be they insects, birds, autonomous vehicles, or soft robots – not only self-propel and interact, but also sense their environments, make decisions, and adapt their behavior. These systems extend the classical framework of active matter by incorporating elements of intelligence, information processing, and environmental feedback. Notably, such systems can operate far from equilibrium and exhibit coordinated behavior that seems tuned for functional outcomes – navigation, foraging, or collective decision-making.<br>\r\nThese trends point toward a convergence: macroscopic active matter systems capable of intelligent, adaptive, or programmable behavior. This includes both natural systems (e.g., flocking insects, social insects, animal herds) and artificial systems (e.g., modular robots, programmable matter, active granular agents). The interplay of self-propulsion, interaction rules, information exchange, learning or memory, and system-level feedback opens exciting new directions for both fundamental science and applications. Recent efforts in this space combine techniques from statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, robotics, and machine learning.<br>\r\nHowever, the communities working on these different aspects of active matter – soft matter physicists, ecologists, roboticists, and complexity scientists – remain fragmented, with limited opportunity for sustained dialogue. Bridging these communities is essential to develop a shared language, identify unifying principles, and guide the development of new experimental platforms and theoretical frameworks.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08514-6\" target=\"_blank\">[1] F.
