Department of Physics

Our Department of Physics has actively participated in the revolutions in physics and education since 1870.

In the coming decades, new technologies based on quantum mechanics and nanoscale physics will revolutionize virtually every aspect of our lives, from computing and communication to renewable energy sources and sensors. This quantum era promises to have an impact comparable to the development of the computer and the internet. 

At the forefront of this innovation are our faculty, making groundbreaking contributions to atomic, molecular and optical physics, photonics technology, quantum optics, quantum information science and quantum engineering – with the latter three emphasized in our programs:

Academic Programs
