Nominator's project description

Piet Wibertus Brouwer is considered to be one of the most productive and important minds in his discipline. He investigates current themes in solid state theory and quantum transport at the interface of the quantum and classical worlds. Under his leadership a centre for theoretical physics is proposed at Berlin's Free University, the Dahlem Centre for Complex Quantum Systems.
