我们的系拥有21名教职人员从事理论物理研究，我们提供了广泛的研究机会，涵盖了从理论天体和宇宙学，重力和相对论，弦论，高能物理和凝聚态理论到量子信息和生物物理学的整个领域。 。研究技术包括精确方法，现场理论和微扰方法以及数值方法和计算机模拟，这些方法广泛使用了加拿大的高性能计算网络。理论中心为团体会议以及教师，学生和博士后研究员之间的频繁互动提供了理想的场所。凝聚态理论小组在许多最激动人心的当前进展中进行研究：高温超导性，量子点，极化子物理学，自旋电子学，拓扑绝缘体，过渡金属氧化物，大规模量子现象，量子磁学
With 21 faculty members conducting research in Theroetical Physics, our department offers a tremendous variety of research opportunities that span the gamut from Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology, Gravity and Relativity, String Theory, High Energy Physics, and Condensed Matter Theory, to Quantum Information and Biophysics. Research techniques include exact methods, field theoretic and perturbative approaches as well as numerical methods and computer simulations that make extensive use of Canada's High Performance Computing networks. The Theory Centre offers an ideal venue for group meetings and frequent interaction between faculty, students and postdoctoral fellows. The Condensed Matter Theory group is pursuing research at the forefront of many of the most exciting current developments: high-temperature superconductivity, quantum dots, polaron physics, spintronics, topological insulators, transition metal oxides, large scale quantum phenomena, quantum magnetism, superfluidity and cold atomic gases, geometrical phases of strongly correlated particles, quantum information, nonequilibrium statistical physics of disordered solids, and protein folding. The Pacific Institute of Theoretical Physics is an international research institute located in the department. It facilitates interactions between theorists all over the world and operates a visitor center for scientific exchanges.
