Institut für Theoretische Physik

The Institute for Theoretical physics is home to a large range of research activities, covering quantum field theory, particle physics, cosmology, statistical physics, soft matter, biophysics, and condensed matter theory. Researchers at ITP use both analytical and computational methods at the frontier of these research fields, which is reflected in the institute’s leading role in the theoretical physics curriculum at all levels. The ITP has a long and storied history, with seminal research originating here, e.g., on the development of quantum mechanics and the foundations of quantum field theory.
