Research Efforts in the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics — a Leinweber Institute
We are a unified research and teaching center focused on fundamental physics. Our activities range from string theory and cosmology at the highest energies down through unification and beyond-the-standard-model physics, through the standard model, to QCD, hadrons, quark matter, and nuclei at the low energy scale.
Theoretical research in the Center complements and connects to experimental work by the Nuclear and Particle Experiment division in the Laboratory for Nuclear Science, theoretical work in other divisions—including condensed matter theory, astrophysics theory, and theoretical work in the physics of living systems group—and quantum information science across MIT.
