Our research involves theory development and simulations ranging from the electronic structure of complex solids to the atomic and nanoscale structure of matter.
The Theory Group operates under scientific supervision of Prof. Dr. Alexander I. Lichtenstein from the I Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Hamburg, who has expertise in theoretical condensed matter and many-body physics. Cooperative work with scientists from different instruments as well as with users of the European XFEL is an essential component of our group activities.
