Dynamo theory explains why the plasma in our universe is magnetized. As we now know, astrophysical turbulence without magnetic fields does not exist. This has dramatic consequences, especially...

Nordita WINQ Fellow Soon Hoe Lim was awarded a four-year VR starting grant "Randomness in Dynamical Systems and Machine Learning". Theoretical and empirical advances in modern machine learning and AI have been informed by the state-of-the-art developments in multiple disciplines such as mathematics. The main object of Soon Hoe's project is to investigate the roles of randomness in learning with modern neural networks through the lens of dynamical systems.
Nordita Professor Konstantin Zarembo was awarded a four-year VR project grant "What Happens With Quantum Fields at Strong Coupling". The strong coupling behaviour of quantum fields is recognized as an important but very complicated problem. Konstantin's project will address this with the help of large-N expansion, holographic duality and integrability methods.
Nordita Director Niels Obers was awarded a four-year VR project grant "Emergent Spacetime from Non-Relativistic Holography". The aim of Niels' project is to make foundational contributions towards a quantum description of black holes and more generally the emergence of spacetime by extending and deepening our understanding of holography.

From Monday, March 8, 2021, Nordita operates from a new building on the new campus area Albano in Northern Stockholm. The building is only 500 m away from the three old Nordita buildings on the AlbaNova campus, where Nordita moved in January 2007 from Copenhagen.
We share the building with an experimental materials science group from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and a group from the Astronomy Department of Stockholm University.
The Wallenberg Initiative on Networks and Quantum Information (WINQ), supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation (KAW), is located within the conducive research environment of Nordita. It is aimed at nurturing and bringing together expertise from both quantum information science and complex dynamical systems to address major open challenges in these fields.
From June 8-15, 2022 we will host a set of workshops, strategically split into two halves, aimed at addressing the major recent progresses in the respective fields, and discuss open challenges. The programme will include visionary talks, conventional seminars, short talks and posters.

The OMDB is an open access electronic structure database for 3-dimensional organic crystals, developed and hosted at Nordita.
Two-year MSc programme in Physics at the University of Iceland, in partnership with Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics.
The programme aims to provide students with up-to-date knowledge of contemporary physics in the main areas of astrophysics, condensed matter physics, and high-energy physics, as well as solid training in applying mathematical and numerical tools widely used in these fields. The programme also offers a course to develop professional skills such as writing and presenting scientific content.
