Quantum systems whose constituents interact via long-range forces are expected to exhibit highly unusual properties, such as super-extensive scaling of thermodynamic quantities, strong correlations and enhanced collective behaviour. Important breakthroughs in the manipulation of cold atomic gases have recently enabled the experimental realisation of such intriguing quantum systems. This opens up new exciting opportunities in the very active research field of control and utilisation of collective phenomena in quantum matter. In order to make the best possible use of these opportunities, there is a strong need to further develop various experimental and theoretical methods in a coordinated manner.We propose an interdisciplinary Research Unit whose concerted programme of research addresses important and timely questions on many-body quantum systems with long-range interactions. Our ultimate goals are the understanding, realisation and control of complex quantum matter possessing collectively enhanced yet robust properties with various applications in emerging quantum technologies, such as metrology and sensing. To achieve the desired breakthroughs, we assemble a team of internationally distinguished researchers whose complementary expertise spans the broad range of experimental, theoretical and mathematical physics, as well as numerical analysis. On the experimental side our distinct focus will be on platforms that feature highly controllable gases of Rydberg atoms in free space and in the modified environments of optical and microwave cavities. Concerted efforts in mathematical and theoretical research will go hand in hand with the experimental research and develop new theoretical approaches, methods, and techniques to advance our understanding of highly correlated many-body quantum matter. Building on the Center for Quantum Science at the University of Tübingen, this Research Unit will establish a flourishing research environment that brings together an interdisciplinary group of outstanding scientists. Moreover, a close alignment of the research with graduate courses in advanced quantum theory and mathematical physics will maximise synergies and create a unique interdisciplinary science ecosystem for graduate students, postgraduate trainees and experienced researchers.

其组分通过长程力相互作用的量子系统预计将表现出非常不寻常的性质，例如热力学量的超广泛标度，强相关性和增强的集体行为。最近，在操纵冷原子气体方面的重大突破使这种有趣的量子系统的实验得以实现。这为量子物质中集体现象的控制和利用这一非常活跃的研究领域开辟了新的令人兴奋的机会。为了最大限度地利用这些机会，有强烈的需要，以协调的方式进一步发展各种实验和理论方法。我们提出了一个跨学科的研究单位，其协调一致的研究方案解决了具有远程相互作用的多体量子系统的重要和及时的问题。我们的最终目标是理解，实现和控制复杂的量子物质，这些量子物质具有共同增强但强大的特性，并在新兴的量子技术（如计量和传感）中具有各种应用。为了实现所需的突破，我们组建了一支国际知名的研究人员团队，他们的互补专业知识涵盖了实验，理论和数学物理以及数值分析的广泛范围。在实验方面，我们独特的重点将是在自由空间和光学和微波腔的修改环境中具有高度可控的里德堡原子气体的平台。数学和理论研究的共同努力将与实验研究齐头并进，并开发新的理论方法，方法和技术，以促进我们对高度相关的多体量子物质的理解。在蒂宾根大学量子科学中心的基础上，该研究单位将建立一个繁荣的研究环境，汇集了一批跨学科的优秀科学家。此外，研究与高级量子理论和数学物理研究生课程的紧密结合将最大限度地发挥协同作用，并为研究生，研究生学员和经验丰富的研究人员创造一个独特的跨学科科学生态系统。
