Our research includes a strong focus on fundamental questions about the new physics underlying the Standard Models of particle physics, cosmology, and gravity; and the nature and applications of our basic frameworks (quantum field theory and string theory) for attacking these questions. Our research also includes a major emphasis on the novel phenomena in condensed matter physics that emerge in systems with many degrees of freedom.
News Spotlight
In this episode of No Reason to Get Excited (NRTGE), Dr. Aaron Winkler talks with Stanford Physicist Peter Graham about the strange and fascinating world of modern physics.
The panel, part of a workshop bringing together experimentalists and theorists at the intersection of AMO physics and quantum gravity, featured LITP faculty Stephen Shenker, Douglas Stanford, and Leonard Susskind, along with Dan Carney (Berkeley Lab) and Manuel Endres (Caltech).
In his talk at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Savas Dimopoulos explores the emergence of nimble, small-scale science to tackle the big mysteries of physics.

Abstract: There is no experiment today that tells us if the laws of quantum physics also apply to gravity. One possible approach is to…
