Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory

Short name: 

QMATH

Research type: 

The "Villum Centre of Excellence for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH)” is a research center hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences at University of Copenhagen, focused on contributing to our mathematical understanding of quantum physics with special emphasis on the interplay between quantum matter and quantum information.

The centre's research area lies in the intersection of mathematics, physics and computer science. It is motivated by the emerging recognition of the surprising informational aspects of quantum physics with its potential use in quantum communication and long term prospect of building a quantum computer.

The centre is led by the professors Jan Philip Solovej, Matthias Christandl and Bergfinnur Durhuus. Approximately 15 PhD students and Postdocs are associated with the centre.
