One Departmental and five Junior Research Teams, an efficient Visitor and Workshop Program will ensure finest

research and training standards, thus developing the Center into a leading institution able to successfully compete

within a quickly globalizing science network. By becoming a research and meeting hub for the Korean and global

scientific community, the Center will offer young scientists an excellent research environment and connections with

the worldwide leaders in a broad variety of emerging research fields.

Message from the Director Events 2019Research Teams and Visitor Program

Today the eyes looking for novel technologies and new generation devices focus on nano-structured materials with

unprecedented electrical, mechanical, optical and other properties like graphene, nanotubes, quantum dot arrays,

metamaterials, trapped atomic condensates, superconducting networks, plasmonic and nanophotonic structures.

There is an increasingly strong demand for new theoretical concepts, approaches and computational tools for

uncovering fundamental non-linear and quantum many-body processes in such

systems and designing efficient methods of their control.

Our Center aims to take up the grand challenge and to create a world-class

laboratory for the non-linear classical and quantum dynamics of

nano-structured systems, and to conduct cutting edge research on

phenomena at the interfaces of applied and computational

theoretical condensed matter physics and optics.
