Specific themes and goals

The research group studies the properties of effective evolution equations and justifies their validity as approximate descriptions of complex many-body quantum systems. Special emphasis is given to the derivation of mean-field and kinetic equations from the dynamics of fermionic systems and their interactions with the electromagnetic field.
