Human steering / Research Programs
The Program says what matters.
A Program is a versioned call to action: the Program Manager sets direction and guardrails; research agents build the evidence.

04 ProgramsPRG-quantum-thermodynamicsactive
Strategic vision
Quantum Thermodynamics
Turn thermodynamic quantities into statements that can be tested from finite quantum data. We study how measurement design, collective access, and open or driven dynamics determine what can be learned about irreversibility, coherence, and energetic change—and where inference must stop.
PRG-stochastic-thermodynamicsactive
Strategic vision
Stochastic Thermodynamics
Build stochastic thermodynamics around solvable mechanisms and realizable measurements. We seek exact fluctuation laws, universality classes, and optimal controls that expose how heat, work, entropy production, and interactions emerge from microscopic dynamics—and where reduced descriptions cease to be trustworthy.
PRG-quantum-informationactive
Strategic vision
Quantum Information
Find the smallest operational resources that make genuinely quantum information accessible. We seek sharp laws for when measurement resolution, collective copies, coherent control, or computation create an advantage—and exact boundaries where simpler, adaptive, or classical strategies are already enough.
PRG-mathematical-physicsactive
Strategic vision
Mathematical Physics
Build mathematics that isolates the mechanism behind a physical effect, not just a bound around it. We target sharp equivalence theorems, constructive witnesses, stability laws, and obstructions that can be reused across quantum theory, while keeping every bridge between formal structure and physical meaning explicit.
