The Department of Theoretical Physics was founded in the early '70 and has now 14 permanent staff members and 7 PhD students.

 The founder and for a long time head of department was the late Prof. Andrzej Pawlikowski. The current head of the department is Prof. Jerzy Łuczka - member of Liaison Scientists Network.

Research area:

1. theoretical condensed matter physics (strongly correlated electron systems, superconductivity, mesoscopic systems, coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity)

1. statistical physics (nonequilibrium effects, stochastic processes, fluctuation - induced transport)

1. computational physics (Monte Carlo methods, simulation of random processes, genetic algorithms and parallel computing)

1. nanophysics (electric and magnetic properties of carbon nanotubes and nanowires, transport in nanosystems)

1. physics of phase transitions (scaling and critical relations, chemical potential induced phase transitions, quantum critical points)

1. biophysics (intercell transport, biological motors)

1. quantum computation (entanglement of meso- and nanosystems, open quantum systems, models for an experimental realizations of qubits, qubits based on the quantum rings, quantum information processing)

1. medical physics(influence of electromagnetic radiation on the live organism, simulation of blood flow dynamics)

International Cooperation:

1. University: Augsburg, Barcelona, Bradford, Camerino, Duisburg, Humboldta w Berlinie, Leuven, Regensburg
