Physics

We are a theoretical and computational physics group studying the quantum behaviour of matter, seeking to understand how a system's microscopic structure and interactions give rise to measurable properties, and developing the numerical methods and software to predict them. We study strongly correlated materials, where interactions produce magnetism and superconductivity and laser pulses can reshape properties; atomistic models of magnetism and spin dynamics; how light interacts with metallic nanoparticles that confine it far below its wavelength; and ultracold atoms and molecules. Our group is part of the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), reflecting our aim of using fundamental theory and simulation to help build materials a sustainable future depends on.
