Advanced Quantum Physics Master of Science

General Information

The scientific profile of the area quantum science is defined by the working groups of the Center for Quantum Science (CQ). They deal with atom-light-interactions, Rydberg physics, quantum sensors, quantum gases in magnetical and optical traps, optical and microwave resonators, many-body quantum systems, and hybrid systems consisting of ultracold atoms and superconducting structures. These are all platforms in which quantum technologies are build up.

A specificity of the master program „Quantum Science“ is the obligatory module „Discussing Comprehensive Problems of Quantum Science“. In this module, students repeat course contents in peer-learning groups. Such highly complex topics like quantum science cannot be learned just by listening to lectures. For the insight it is mandatory to deal with these topics on its own as well as with others. The discussion with other students is an important method, to practise talking about difficult contents, to get to know deficiencies, and to filll in theses gaps. The module is completed with an oral exam. In this exam all aquired skills of the master program are queried in interrelated questions.
