Professor Charlotte Fløe Kristjansen, currently the Deputy Head of Institute for Research at Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) has been awarded a Villum Investigator grant of 20Mkr from the Villum Foundation to explore how quantum systems react to sudden disturbances with a research program entitled Quantum Quenches from Quantum Fields.

 With earlier support form a DFF Sapere Aude Top Researcher grant Charlotte Fløe Kristjansen has built a research group which works at the interface of theoretical high energy physics, condensed matter physics and quantum information theory.

The Villum Investigator research program will start in the Fall of 2025 and run for six years.
