Tobias Meng works on topological physics phenomena and the behaviour of topological quantum materials – a topic that is currently one of the most important areas of research in solid-state physics. He has written groundbreaking papers in this field; for example, his publication on Weyl superconductors was the first in-depth analysis to lay the foundation for understanding these complex systems. Within this field, Meng takes an exceptionally broad approach, both thematically and methodologically: he looks at superconductivity and strongly correlated systems as well as transport phenomena and quantum computing – using the entire spectrum from modelling nanoscopic systems to three-dimensional bulk materials. Meng is head of the DFG-funded Emmy Noether Group “Quantum Design”.
