The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics

A team from Nordita recently visited the Tsung Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) in Shanghai to strengthen their ongoing collaboration. The visit included meetings with local researchers, seminars, and tours of key facilities. A highlight was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, setting the stage for future joint research initiatives.

Nordita's collaborations with KTH and WACQT are driving advancements in quantum research. In this interview, Assistant Professor Vaishali Adya discusses her work in gravitational wave research and quantum optics, and highlights the dynamic synergy between WACQT, WINQ, and Nordita.

Nordita researchers Beatriz Villarroel and Ralf Eichhorn have been awarded Vetenskapsrådet grants to support their research.

Join ScientiFika at Nordita, where students and junior researchers gather for Swedish fika, engaging talks, and cross-disciplinary connections. Every Friday afternoon, ScientiFika welcomes attendees to broaden their knowledge, exchange ideas, and gain peer support. From cosmology to medieval studies, each session highlights diverse topics presented in an open and welcoming atmosphere.

Sofia Qvarfort is Nordita’s new WINQ Assistant Professor, specializing in quantum systems with nonlinear dynamics for state preparation and quantum sensing. She completed her PhD at University College London and brings experience from fellowships at Imperial College and Stockholm University.

Sreenath Manikandan is a researcher in Professor Frank Wilczek's group at Nordita. "My research is mainly about Q-ball which is a hypothetical form of matter in theoretical physics.
