This is a research project in mathematical physics. The main focus is on Schroedinger operators, which are basic to the modelling of physical systems at the microscopic level. In particular, the spectrum of such an operator is interpreted as the set of possible energy levels of the system. Professor Howland will investigate spectral properties of various Schroedinger operators in which the potential term is either random or time-periodic. The underlying physical issues have some degree of contact with condensed matter theory, and therefore with such things as superconductivity.

这是一个数学物理的研究项目。主要的焦点是薛定谔算符，它是在微观层面上对物理系统建模的基础。特别地，这种算符的谱被解释为系统的可能能级的集合。Howland教授将研究势能项为随机项或时间周期项的各种薛定谔算子的光谱性质。潜在的物理问题与凝聚态理论有一定程度的联系，因此与超导等事物也有一定程度的联系。
