Theoretical research in condensed matter physics is carried out in an interdepartmental group of the Departments of Physics and Applied Physics. Interests range from the study of electronic properties of semiconductor microstructures to those of the high temperature superconductors, as well as from quantum optics and optomechanics to quantum information processing.
Other groups conducting theoretical research in related areas include the group led by Yoram Alhassid on nuclear many body theory and quantum dots, research in Condensed Matter Geophysics led by John Wettlaufer, the Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Systems by Corey O’Hern in Mechanical Engineering.
A tight collaboration is established with the experimental condensed matter groups in the Physics and Applied Physics Departments
