For students interested to do a thesis at Mathematical Physics
The research at the division of Mathematical Physics is focused on nanoscience, solids, atoms, and nuclei, where we use tools from basic theoretical physics (dominantly quantum mechanics but als electrodynamics and thermodynamics). Particular emphasis is given to the development and application of general methods to describe interacting many-body quantum systems (Green's functions, density functional theory, configuration interaction, etc.). This work is frequently done in direct cooperation within NanoLund, MAX IV, ESS, the division of Nuclear Physics, and other groups all over the world.

There is also a list of previous master and bachelor theses performed at our division.

Students, who want to do a thesis, should contact the senior researchers individually and ask for a topic in their respetive field of research.

Bachelor Thesis

Science Faculty: FYSK02; Check the detailed information, or contact the main responsible, Claudio Verdozzi, for the administrative framework.
LTH: PHYL01

Requirements, suggested studying:

We assume that you have completed the basic courses in your education. The course Quantum Mechanics (FMFN01/FYSN17) is also helpful but not required.

Master Thesis

Science Faculty: FYSM30/60; Check the detailed information, or contact the main responsible, Claudio Verdozzi, for the administrative framework.
LTH: PHYM01

Requirements, suggested studying:

As solid knowledge of quantum mechanics including the occupation number formalism is expected, we suggest, that you complete the following courses before starting the thesis: Highly relevant are also the following courses with general methods heavily used by us: Depending on your planned direction, the following courses are also very helpful: Alternatively, sporadic master projects are done on the basis of the courses Complex Economy (FMFF35,FYST26) or Chaos for Science and Technology (FMFN05,FYST13), which do not require a profound knowledge of quantum mechanics.
