Revolutionizing Quantum Symmetries
Symmetry is a concept that has fascinated mathematicians for centuries.New perspectives are driving advances in theoretical physics, impacting studies from elementary particles to exotic matter phases.
Professor Bullimore’s team will delve into the mathematical foundations of these emerging symmetries. They aim to uncover new principles and unlock fresh insights into the behaviour of quantum systems.
Opportunities for Early-Career Researchers
The ERC funding will support three postdoctoral researchers and two PhD students. This offers exceptional opportunities for early-career scholars to engage in pioneering work.The new team members will join Professor Bullimore and the Department of Mathematical Sciences. They will contribute to shaping the future of mathematical and theoretical physics.
About the ERC and ERC Grants
The ERC, set up by the European Union in 2007, is the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research.The ERC Consolidator Grant is among the EU’s most prestigious and competitive. It provides leading researchers with the opportunity to pursue ambitious, curiosity-driven projects that could lead to major scientific breakthroughs.
