AMOLF Evaluation

The AMOLF Information in Matter theme aims to advance our understanding of the fundamental physical mechanisms of information gathering, transport and processing in inanimate and living matter. Since information always resides in physical systems, its creation, processing, preservation and removal are bounded by the laws of physics. We aim to push the design and limits of future, unconventional, information technologies, and to explore new paradigms such as learning and adaptive materials.
Understanding the general limits and design principles of information in matter requires concepts that span disciplines, such as non-linearity, reciprocity and time-reversibility, quantum entanglement, cooperativity, noise, non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics, and learning. The AMOLF research department of Information in Matter brings researchers from different disciplines together, addressing shared questions about the limits of information in matter in diverse physical systems, ranging from biological systems to mechanical metamaterials, to classical and quantum nanophotonic systems.
