Research

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.

Teaching

Teaching theoretical physics to young colleagues is an important part of our activities. Physics nowadays is a very wide field of knowledge, which progresses with ever increasing pace. We are aware that teaching must be directed towards students specializing in experimental as well as in theoretical physics, and we are committed to Humboldt’s program of teaching science through practicing science.
