Scientific Questions

The different PCI research groups work on the following scientific questions (selection): 
 

• Method development for high-dimensional quantum dynamics (MCTDH)
• Ultrafast processes and quantum effects in molecules
• Strong light-matter coupling (polaritonics)
• Carbon-based materials for optoelectronic devices and sensors
• Ultrafast dynamics in functional materials
• Magnetic and chiral semiconductors
• Molecular processes at surfaces and in thin films
• Ultrafast dynamics of excited states at interfaces 
• Structure and dynamics of biological interfaces 
• Biosensors and biomaterials
• Cells and organoids in dynamic/adaptive 3D environments
• Safety research and alternative strategies for disposal of nuclear waste
• Radiochemistry (actinides)
