The research done at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) ranges from pure and applied mathematics and questions of economics through to interdisciplinary projects.

The Matter and Light for Quantum Computing (ML4Q) Cluster is geared toward creating new computer and network architectures based on the principles of quantum mechanics.

The existence of dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe point to gaps in our understanding of the world around us. Even though virtually all the measurements that we can make in particle physics can already be described in detail by the Standard Model, deciphering the structure of subatomic matter is one of the most pressing questions in fundamental physics. Specifically, researchers are wondering where new phenomena of fundamental physics might be hiding.

The structure and development of our Universe is shaped by countless phenomena that follow some very different timescales, ranging from fractions of a second to billions of years. This Cluster of Excellence, which is being proposed in partnership with the University of Cologne, brings the various processes of astrophysics together through a combination of observations using new instruments, theory backed by innovative simulation and data science methods, and laboratory astrophysics. The aim is to come up with a complete description of the evolution of matter and energy flows over time.

How can technologies unlock sustainable crop production? Researchers from a range of disciplines are attempting to find out at PhenoRob, Germany’s only Cluster of Excellence in the agricultural sciences.

The ultimate goal of ImmunoSensation2 is to decipher the principles that govern the global functionality of the immune system in healthy and diseased states.
