Presentation of the institute
The Institute of Theoretical Physics (IPhT) is an institute of the Direction de la Recherche Fondamentale (DRF) of the Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA). The Institute is also a Joint Research Unit (UMR 3681) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and of CNRS Physique.
A great deal of research is carried out at the IPhT. Its main aim is to formulate and study the physical and mathematical laws that govern our universe and its structure and organisation, and it covers almost all the major subjects of modern theoretical physics: from the study of fundamental interactions, aimed in particular at describing the primordial universe, to the development of models for understanding certain biological structures. They also involve the mathematical study of complex systems in statistical physics and field theory. Beneath the diversity of the systems studied lies a profound unity between the various mathematical formalisms used to describe them.
