KITP

"I always enjoy visiting the KITP. It is so stimulating to be able to talk to colleagues from all over the world in a relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful location. Some of my best work has been done there."

Stephen Hawking,
Lucasian Professor of Physics,

"The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics is an outstanding intellectual resource for the nation. UCSB has developed capabilities in the physical sciences that are important to the future competitiveness of the United States."

John H. Marburger III,
Science Advisor to President Bush
Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy

"The critical role played by the KITP is recognized world-wide. Theoretical physics would not be where it is today without this vital institute. Many of the most important and remarkable recent advances in theoretical physics can be traced to discoveries made by permanent KITP members or to ideas that emerged during its cutting-edge international
programs and conferences."

Brian Greene,
Professor of Physics and Mathematics,
