The Master's program Advanced Quantum Physics is a consecutive program based on a Bachelor's degree in Physics. Quantum physics is central to our current technology: lasers, microprocessors, accurate timekeeping are all based on the findings of quantum mechanics. So with your smartphone, tablet or computer or with your navigation device, quantum application is in your hands. Laser shows, laser engraving or laser surgery are all thanks to the insights of quantum physics. A large part of the turnover of goods on earth is related to quantum physics. The study program optimally prepares you to work on highly innovative technical developments!
In the first two semesters you will acquire advanced and in-depth expertise in the fields of modern quantum physics: quantum information processing, many-body phenomena, and the microphysical foundations of materials science. This includes competencies in a wide variety of current theoretical methods and experimental techniques in the field of modern quantum physics, such as laser physics or theoretical modeling of complex systems.
In the context of elective courses you expand your spectrum in the natural sciences, and complete your skills. The research module begins in the third semester. Here you will be introduced to active research work through special seminars and work in research groups. The program concludes with your first own research work - the master's thesis.
