This topic line aims to discover, understand, and ultimately control the exotic quantum phases that arise in condensed matter systems, thereby advancing the frontiers of quantum physics.
Research Lines
We distinguish five main research lines, defined in close collaboration with the HFML-FELIX research team and our national partners. More information about our research lines will follow soon.
Mapping and manipulating quantum phases of matter
Molecular structure identification and reactivity in infrared
Enable breakthroughs in physical, bio, environmental and medical chemistry using the unique and cutting-edge analytical instrumentation to resolve intricacies of chemical structure and interactions.
Dynamic self-organisation in soft molecular matter
The mission of this topic is to delve deeper into the captivating dynamics of soft molecular systems, driven by their inherent capacity to spontaneously self-organize into mesoscopic structures.
Non-equilibrium phases of matter
Studying the non-equilibrium dynamics, down to femtosecond time scales, will provide unique information about the complex interplay of various degrees of freedom in a solid.
Innovative instruments for advanced spectroscopy
Studying matter using the world’s highest magnetic fields and infrared/THz radiation with unparalleled tunability, driving it into previously inaccessible states or phases and potentially revealing new functionalities.
