Bringing people and ideas together to fund, conduct, and share transformative science.
Our grants advance knowledge and strengthen connections between science and society.
Discover the latest news, research, and updates.
We convene scientists, mathematicians, and thinkers to share ideas and explore new questions.
Founded by Jim and Marilyn Simons, we’re a private philanthropy advancing mathematics and basic science.
Work with us on the frontier of basic science research.
The Flatiron Institute is a research center that uses computational science to advance fields like physics, biology, and astronomy.
Search
At the Center for Computational Quantum Physics, we’re rooted in the development of methods with different branching applications. These methods — which include theory, computational methods, algorithms and software — power all of our topic-driven projects.
Methods
Our novel methods, developed in-house, elicit new knowledge through targeted applications.
Mission
Our core mission is to understand large interacting quantum systems.
Applications
By applying our methods to specific applications — dynamics and control and materials — we elucidate complex quantum behavior.
Discovery
Our applied work results in new discoveries that advance the field.
Max Planck-New York Center for Nonequilibrium Quantum Phenomena
Together with Columbia University and the Max Planck Society in Germany, the Flatiron Institute has created a partnership to better understand, control and manipulate the uniquely useful properties of quantum materials in unstable states.
We created a graphic representation of our ecosystem (PDF, 119 KB) to demonstrate how this method-led foundation supports our mission and positions our researchers to answer important questions.
