Departments

Andrea Cavalleri
The Condensed Matter Dynamics department investigates the dynamics of solids using time dependent techniques. Tabletop and accelerator-based light sources, covering the whole electromagnetic spectrum from the THz to the hard X-rays, measure the structural dynamics of electrons, spins and atomic lattices in quantum condensed matter. more

Philip Moll
The Microstructured Quantum Matter Department works on prototyping advanced functionalities that novel materials promise tomorrow with the actual materials available today. It is interested in quantum materials in which electrons fundamentally behave differently than in Copper or Silicon. more

Angel Rubio
The Theory department investigates the electronic and structural properties of advanced materials, nanostructures and biomolecules, and is placing a focus on developing novel theoretical tools and computational codes to investigate and control the electronic response of such systems to arbitrary time-dependent external electromagnetic (quantum) fields. more
