Our department is home to an acclaimed association of research professors. Our faculty conduct research into all of the traditional areas of physics as well as the most important interdisciplinary subjects. Their activities include collaboration with researchers around the world at other universities, institutions, and laboratories. Investigation of new and emerging fields is a high priority.

Our research ranges from subatomic particle physics to the interactions of many bodies as part of condensed matter and material science. We investigate atomic physics systems and explore the exciting topic of quantum entanglement. Interdisciplinary areas of research include physics applied to biological systems and quantum information.
