Quantum Matter

From individual molecules to complex solids: in thisQuantum Matterfrom Radboud University, you will study matter on a fundamental quantum-physical level and discover collective and emergent quantum phenomena for future technologies. Using theory or experiments, or both.

In the Quantum Matter from Radboud University , you will gain a bottom-up understanding of the properties and interactions of matter, from individual atoms and molecules to complex solids. In quantum matter, there is no unified theory to explain everything, so you will learn different approaches that enable to understand and predict a quantum system. You start with advanced courses on molecular physics and solid state physics, to prepare you for a wide variety of elective courses that will allow you to shape your focus, theoretical or experimental, molecular or condensed matter – or to remain broad.

Future career opportunities

This Master’s specialisation is an excellent preparation for a career in research, either at a university or at a company. However, many of our students end up in business as well. At Radboud University, we’re capable of offering many successful students in the field of Quantum Matter a PhD position. Many of our students have already attained a PhD position, not just at Radboud University, but at universities all over the world.

Courses include:

• Electrodynamics

• Solid State Physics

• Molecular Physics

• Physics and Philosophy

• Student seminar Quantum Matter

• Professional preparation
