Condensed Matter and Quantum Materials

We look at the structure and properties of matter from single atoms to collective quantum phenomena.

Our Research


Our research uncovers new states and phases of matter combining advanced experimental techniques with theoretical methods beyond the state of the art. We are interested in crystalline and amorphous solids with many-body correlations involving structural parameters, magnetic- or charge-ordered states, and superconductivity. Our efforts concentrate on phenomena arising from out of equilibrium conditions induced by pressure, strain or electric/magnetic/optical fields in material systems for real world disruptive applications.
