The School of Theoretical Physics focuses on original research into the mathematical principles of physics.
It investigates the fundamental mathematical structures in which the laws of physics find expression. This research has profound, if long-term, implications not just for our understanding of the structure and origin of the universe, but, through quantum information theory, for the future of computing and the limits of what is computable.
The school is highly regarded internationally for work on quantum field theory, string theory, and quantum information. Groundbreaking research on the deep structure of quantum fields and related physical structures, and the development of new mathematical tools for their study, in addition to work on the theory of quantum information and the emergence of geometry out of a world of quantum fluctuations, are current areas of focus.
The School of Theoretival Physics has an extensive national and international network, and has a Research Associate programme. It provides facilities for university professors and lecturers on leave of absence from their academic duties and it organises seminars, conferences, and lectures.
A proud day for DIAS, celebrating our past and present female scientists: news that Dr Rebeca Garcia Lopez (DIAS) has received funding via @scienceirel Starting Investigator Research Grant & unveiling of the portrait of renowned scientist & 1st female Fellow of DIAS,Sheila Tinney Retweeted by

We were sad to hear of the passing of Sir Michael Atiyah last week, aged 89. Atiyah was a great former chair of the board of our School of Theoretical Physics here at DIAS from 2000-2005. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. (Below, pictured in DIAS's Conference Room) @StpDiasRetweeted by

In 1983 DIAS hosted the Schrodinger Symposium to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Erwin Schrodinger's receiving of the Nobel Prize for Physics. Below is the original program, as well as the group photo from the event - which includes Prof Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking RIP was no stranger to Dublin: he was a key participant in an RIA meeting in April 1979 and a DIAS symposium in October 1983. Photo shown here of later (in honour of 50th anniversary of Schrödinger's Nobel prize) @DIAS_Dublin@RIAdawsonRetweeted by

One of the great communicators of Science has passed -
Such sad news...
DIAS is extremely proud that Professor Stephen Hawking gave a lecture here @stpdias in October 1983 on Schrodinger's ideas about quantum mechanics & modern developments in general relativity and supergravity
Feb 1943 – Prof Erwin Schrödinger, first Director of @StpDias gave a series of public lectures entitled "What is Life?" #ThrowbackThursdayRetweeted by
