Topics physics, theoretical physics, astrophysics, quantum mechanics, dark matter

The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics (SITP) is a research institute comprising 16 faculty in Physics and related fields, and approximately 100 graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and visitors. SITP is an institute within the Stanford University Department of Physics. Following in the tradition of Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Richard Feynman, the goals of SITP are to uncover the basic physical principles governing the world of natural phenomena. Broadly speaking these phenomena range over the cosmological origins of the universe, the properties of elementary particles, the emergence of space and time out of quantum bits of information, and the amazingly emergent properties of atoms when they are combined into macroscopic materials.
