Advanced Quantum Physics

Subjects: Physics;Science

M.Sc. | Master of Science

Course description

Quantum physics is at the core of modern technology. As devices shrink to the size of single atoms, the role of quantum physics in technological advancements will only grow. In this Master program, you'll gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in cutting-edge quantum physics, with a focus on atomic, molecular, and optical physics. Our physics department is deeply engaged in pioneering research in this area. You'll benefit from close interactions with both students and researchers, as well as from our award-winning teaching. All our professors are active in several collaborative research centers dedicated to quantum physics. In this program, you'll delve into subjects like quantum mechanics, quantum optics, and quantum information. You'll also explore advanced topics in atomic and molecular physics. Our curriculum is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding and practical skills that are essential for a career in this exciting field. Join us to be at the forefront of quantum physics, where you'll learn from experts and contribute to groundbreaking research.

Application Requirements

Language Requirements

If you are interested in enrolling in an English-language Master's program, you need to consider the following: A good knowledge of English is required for the admission to a program of study. You need to prove your English language skills for the various Master's programs as follows: TOEFL Test: 550 points (on the paper-based test) 213 points (on the computer-based test) 79/80 points (on the internet-based test) and/or IELTS: 6.0 points In some cases an applicant can be exempt from providing English language test results. If your degree has been completed in a country with English as the state language, you will not need to take a TOEFL or an IELTS test. Please check here if you are exempt from providing a proof of English language skills. However the exemption depends from your specific master program. (Institution Codes: TOEFL 7967, GRE 7143)

Qualification Requirements

For admission we require from the applicant's Bachelor's degree a comparable curriculum to the program of Bachelor of Science in physics at TU Kaiserslautern. From our experience, in most cases it is necessary to check: quantum mechanics / quantum theory 1 (9 credits) statistical mechanics / thermodynamics theory (9 credits) experimental quantum physics (9 credits) physics laboratory courses in mechanics, electrodynamics, optics (12 credits) language requirements (see below) Some special cases may allow to complete the requirements at TU Kaiserslautern (see below). Keep in mind, your overall time to complete the master program AQP will extend

Document Requirements

Leaving certificate of the study courses and - if required - further documents showing final grade, duration of studies, and other performances, e.g. in form of an academic transcript, transcript of records, or equivalent proofs of performance. Description of contents of the courses listed in No. 1. Statement with reasons for the intended takingup of the studies and explanations of study aims. Presentation of professional and personal development (curriculum vitae), if applicable, with descriptions of practical knowledge and experience. Recommendation letters of at least 2 university/college lecturers. The recommendation letters should include statement on how well the applicant completed his/her studies in relation to other candidates of the course of studies.
