Studies in theoretical physics will focus on investigations of geometric phases in quantum mechanics which are generalizations of those originally discovered by Berry, and on quantum mechanical phase shifts which can occur in the presence of electromagnetic or gravitational potentials. These investigations concern the fundamental character of quantum mechanics, and will help to illuminate the subtle nature of this theoretical framework in terms of which essentially all submicroscopic physical phenomena are understood.

理论物理的研究将集中在研究量子力学中的几何相，这些几何相是Berry最初发现的几何相的推广，以及在存在电磁或引力势的情况下可能发生的量子力学相移。这些研究涉及到量子力学的基本特征，并将有助于阐明这一理论框架的微妙本质，根据该框架，基本上所有的亚微观物理现象都可以被理解。
