The research program at our institute is characterized by a remarkable diversity covering a broad spectrum of topics ranging from high-energy physics and quantum field theory to atomic and condensed matter physics. As a focus area, non-linear dynamics of complex systems including aspects of quantum cryptography and quantum information plays an important role. Many of the research topics make use of and belong to the subdiscipline ``computational physics.
The breadth of activities at our institute provides advanced students as well as young researchers with the opportunity to be exposed to a multitude of state-of the art research directions and to receive a broad-based academic training.
