Nominator's project description

Professor Greene has created powerful theoretical approaches in many body quantum physics over decades. His cutting-edge work on three- and four-body dynamics bridges the gap between basic phenomena and complexity in atoms, molecules and larger aggregates of matter. He will join and inspire ongoing research on the role of many particle quantum dynamics in astrophysical environments, in molecular matter and at ultra low temperatures.
