Quantum Universe

The Quantum Universe area brings together gravitation, cosmology, particle physics, and high-energy theory to address fundamental questions about the origin, composition, and evolution of the Universe. It explores the fundamental interactions of nature, quantum field theories, quantum chromodynamics, neutrino physics, and possible extensions of the Standard Model, together with the physics of spacetime, dark matter and dark energy, and the dynamics of the Early and Late Universe. By combining analytical methods, numerical simulations, quantum and field-theory techniques, and comparison with observations, this area connects microscopic fundamental laws with cosmological phenomena and experimental probes, including gravitational waves, cosmological surveys, particle colliders, neutrino experiments, and quantum technologies.
