The collaborative research center “Entangled States of Matter” (CRC183) exploits the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics to engineer condensed matter systems that materialize entanglement in a tangible manner. The following three concepts define our research: (i) Topological quantum matter, (ii) Quantum information, (iii) Quantum device. Our CRC runs as a joint venture of the Center of Quantum Devices in Copenhagen, the Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems at FU Berlin, the Cologne Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Condensed Matter Department of the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel.
