Diverse Research Fields and Interdisciplinary Themes: Exploring Quantum Science and Technology at the IMPRS-QST
The fields of research covered by the IMPRS encompass different areas of physics, chemistry, mathematics & computer science, and material science, organised in four specialized subjects:
- Atomic Physics and Quantum Optics
- Solid State Physics and Material Science
- Quantum Information Theory
- Quantum Many-Body Physics
Within these subjects, several overarching scientific themes emerge, bringing together various disciplines. These overarching themes underscore the interdisciplinary nature of the research conducted within the IMPRS, highlighting the integration of different fields.
