Discovering new quantum phenomena in materials and condensates
About us
About us
Driven by scientific curiosity and technological developments, we investigate physics at the nanoscale in materials. Condensed matter displays a wealth of interesting and exotic behavior which ultimately is possible to understand through the theory of quantum physics. We are part of the Center of Excellence QuSpin at NTNU (2017-2027).
We use analytical and numerical models to describe the complex interactions that takes place in materials. Our focus is on quantum transport and we have a strong link to experimental activity, collaborating regularly with international groups.
