Advanced Quantum Physics (MSc)
A cutting-edge Master’s programme in quantum physics, blending experimental and theoretical courses with hands-on lab work and research opportunities.
Best for:Best for physics graduates with a solid foundation in quantum mechanics, atom physics, and condensed matter physics, seeking advanced research and hands-on lab experience in quantum technologies.
Overview
The Advanced Quantum Physics Master’s programme at the University of Tübingen offers a rigorous, two-year curriculum combining theoretical and experimental quantum physics. Students explore quantum optics, laser physics, superconductors, and quantum information theory through lectures, seminars, and practical lab courses. The programme emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, allowing students to choose modules from related fields or complete an industrial internship. In the second year, students conduct independent research and complete a Master’s thesis, culminating in an oral presentation of their findings. The programme is taught entirely in English and is designed for students with a strong background in physics and quantum mechanics.
What you'll do
- Attend lectures, seminars, and practical courses in quantum physics, covering both experimental and theoretical aspects.
- Participate in quantum labs focusing on lasers, superconductors, and photon statistics.
- Choose elective modules from neighboring fields or complete an industrial internship for credit.
- Engage in a journal club to discuss current topics in quantum science and a peer-learning seminar for collaborative problem-solving.
- Conduct independent research in the second year under the guidance of faculty, culminating in a Master’s thesis.
- Present research findings orally at the conclusion of the thesis.
