The new Collaborative Research Centre “Constrained Quantum Matter” (Eingesch?nkte Quantenmaterie) conducts research in the fields of complex quantum materials and novel quantum states. In recent years, enormous progress has been made in these fields through new technological and methodological developments. Building on this, the project aims to influence the properties of quantum matter and uncover new phenomena and effects. In the long term, it offers a starting point for the development for quantum technology applications, as for example in quantum information technology.

DFG Research Units (FOR)
?
DFG research units (Forschungsgruppen, FOR) are cooperative research projects composed of close a working group of researchers funded by the German Research Foundation for up to eight years. They often contribute to establishing new directions in research.
DFG Priority Programmes (SPP)
?
A special characteristic of DFG priority programmes (Schwerpunktprogrammen, SPP) is that they involve the transregional cooperation of participating researchers. The programmes are intended to provide impetus for the further development of research through the coordinated, locally distributed funding of important new research topics. DFG priority programmes are usually funded for a period of six years.
