Neutron scattering science is leading to significant advances in our understanding of materials and will be key to solving many of the challenges that society is facing today. Improvements in scientific instruments are actually making it more difficult to analyze and interpret the results of experiments due to the vast increases in the volume and complexity of data being produced and the associated computational requirements for processing that data. New approaches to enable scientists to leverage computational resources are required, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been at the forefront of developing these technologies. We recently completed the design and initial implementation of a neutrons data interpretation platform that allows seamless access to the computational resources provided by ORNL. For the first time, we have demonstrated that this platform can be used for advanced data analysis of correlated quantum materials by utilizing the world's most powerful computer system, Frontier. In particular, we have shown the end-to-end execution of the DCA++ code to determine the dynamic magnetic spin susceptibility χ( q , ω) for a single-band Hubbard model with Coulomb repulsion U / t = 8 in units of the nearest-neighbor hopping amplitude t and an electron density of n = 0.65. The following work describes the architecture, design, and implementation of the platform and how we constructed a correlated quantum materials analysis workflow to demonstrate the viability of this system to produce scientific results.
