Photo: Melissa Will - DFG funds new research unit in physics at the University of Göttingen The German Research Foundation (DFG) will fund a new Research Unit studying the non-equilibrium physics of quantum -many-body- systems at the University of Göttingen. The title of this ambitious programme is -Quantum thermalization, localization, and constrained dynamics with interacting ultracold- . A team of scientists will investigate how macroscopic thermodynamic behaviour emerges from the microscopic equations of motion of quantum mechanics. The Research Unit will be coordinated at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Göttingen. This collaboration includes scientists from the University of Augsburg, Munich, Tübingen, the Technical University of Munich, the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, and the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Garching. The Research Unit will receive about 3.5 million Euros in funds initially for four years.
