The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics ( ICTP) is a research center for physical and mathematical sciences, located in Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy . The center operates under a tripartite agreement between the Italian Government, UNESCO, and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
At the moment (2008), the focus areas are theoretical and mathematical physics (e.g. quantum field theory and string theory), astrophysics, elementary particle physics (e.g. they are involved in working with DESY and CERN experiments), nuclear physics, plasma physics, solid state physics, nanotechnologies, nuclear reactor technology ...
The theoretical physics of condensed matter shares important concepts and methods with that of particle physics and nuclear physics. [6] A variety of topics in physics such as crystallography , metallurgy , elasticity , magnetism , etc., were treated as distinct areas until the 1940s, when they were grouped together as solid-state physics .
The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics ( KITP) is a research institute of the University of California, Santa Barbara. KITP is one of the most renowned institutes for theoretical physics in the world, and brings theorists in physics and related fields together to work on topics at the forefront of theoretical science.
Theoretical physics attempts to understand the natural world by making a model of reality, used for rationalizing, explaining, and predicting physical phenomena in what are called " physical theories ." There are three types of theories in physics: mainstream theories, proposed theories and fringe theories.
The L. D. Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (Russian: Институт теоретической физики имени Л. Д. Ландау (ИТФ)) of the Russian Academy of Sciences is a research institution, located in the small town of Chernogolovka near Moscow (there is also a subdivision in Moscow, on the territory of the P. L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems).
The MIT Center for Theoretical Physics ( CTP) is the hub of theoretical nuclear physics, particle physics, and quantum information research at MIT. It is a subdivision of MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science and Department of Physics .
