Sara Strandberg has been promoted to Wallenberg Scholar

Sara Strandberg has always had a leaning towards philosophy. She has been drawn to the unknown and driven by a desire to understand the world. Now she is looking for something that might not even exist: the supersymmetric partner of the top quark. If she finds it, she will be able to explain dark matter, and solve several other mysteries of the universe.

Can supersymmetry explain dark matter?

Strategic investment by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation at Nordita

Nordita has been awarded SEK 95 million from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation to establish research groups in two new areas, quantum information and complex networks,relevant to for instance quantum computers, artificial intelligence and '' big data ''. Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004 and Professor of Physics, was the PI for the proposal.

Calculations for physics, physics for calculations

Interview with Igor Pikovski

Igor Pikovski recently joined Stockholm University as assistant professor in the Department of Physics. He is a theoretical physicist in the field of quantum optics and quantum information theory. His main interest is the interface between quantum physics at low energies and gravity, especially in a regime that can be accessed in laboratory experiments.
