Theoretical Condensed Matter physics is about building models of physical processes, often driven by experimental data, generalising the solutions of those models to make predictions, and transferring the concepts gained into other areas. Theory plays an important role in understanding known phenomena and in predicting new ones.

With over seventy members, TCM is the largest university Condensed Matter Theory group in the country. Able to trace its history back for over sixty years, it has been home to many leading theoreticians.

News

Prof Gabor Csanyi

TCM was the cradle in which I cut my teeth in science, under the guidance of Mike Payne, Peter Littlewood, Richard Needs, and also Alessandro De Vita, a frequent visitor. The collaborative atmosphere combined with a level of seriousness, the desire of aiming high, and taking the long term view, shaped my culture of research, and it is what I continue to try to emulate and foster elsewhere.

Prof Gábor Csányi, newly elected Fellow of the Royal Society.
