FoQuS is a laboratory based in the Mathematics Department at the Politecnico di Milano aiming to foster research activities in the conceptual and mathematical features of quantum physics.
It includes members of the department that actively work on relevant topics related to quantum mechanics, ranging from quantum probability, operator theory, entanglement and non-locality and quantum information to many-body quantum systems, phase transitions and symmetry breaking, open systems, semiclassical and scaling limits, quantum nonlinear models, quantum statistical mechanics, superoscillations and weak measurements.
As such, the laboratory offers a common platform to address foundational, interpretational, theoretical and mathematical issues in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory and quantum gravity, with the aim to enforce research exchange across different scientific-disciplinary sectors present in the department. In doing so, it even purports to develop external collaborations with colleagues in other departments of PoliMi as well as with national and international scholars working on quantum physics around the world.
FoQuS is also committed to contribute to the improvement of teaching of quantum physics at the academic level as well as of the models and methods based on it.
