The KITP brings together diverse groups of theoretical
physicists and other scientists to do research in areas
of science that are timely, important and intellectually challenging.

KITP programs encompass particle and nuclear physics,
astrophysics and cosmology, condensed-matter physics, atomic and molecular physics, and emerging
interdisciplinary fields such as biophysics, neurophysics
and mathematical physics, addressing questions that
lie at the very frontiers of fundamental knowledge.
