Research in Physics, Quantum Matter and Optics

'Research in Physics, Quantum Matter and Optics' is one of the two research directions in experimental physics at the Leiden Institute of Physics. It offers comprehensive coverage of major current research themes, such as scanning probe techniques based on atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy, molecular electronics, oxide electronics, superconductivity, quantum optics and photon-matter interaction. This master's degree programme guarantees a thorough experience on the frontline of physics research and a practical training of communicative and computer skills. It includes two experimental projects performed in a master-apprentice setting in physics research groups active in the field of 'Quantum Matter and Optics'. It also includes up to a full year of courses at undergraduate level, with mandatory courses in quantum theory and statistical physics. This specialisation is open to students with a Bachelor's degree in Physics from a recognised university. Graduates from this Master programme will be well placed to function in positions in industry, research or society.
