Physics at Nicolaus Copernicus University

Historically, Toruñ is one of the most important cities in Poland. It also is one
of the most attractive and best preserved. Having survived centuries of wars and conflicts
the city offers a wealth of architectural treasures. In 1997 Toruñ was included
in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
This booklet is a report on the physics research
at Nicolaus Copernicus University. It covers the activity
of three units. Two of them: the Institute of Physics
and the Department of Informatics are regular parts
of the Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Informatics.
The third one, the National Laboratory for Atomic, Molecular and
Optical Physics was founded in 2002 as a national facility open
to researchers of the whole Country.
The booklet presents the research interests rather than the
results. The updated information about the projects, results,
publications, researchers etc. can be found in our WWW pages
