Optimus_Prime Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi I am planning to apply for PhD in USA in Physics. I am looking for places where there is research in experimental implementation of Quantum Computing, Quantum Optics and Atomic and Molecular Physics. How should I start looking for Universities?

GeoDUDE! Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hi I am planning to apply for PhD in USA in Physics. I am looking for places where there is research in experimental implementation of Quantum Computing, Quantum Optics and Atomic and Molecular Physics. How should I start looking for Universities? Have you read journal articles on these topics? Who wrote them? They are probably who you want to work for when you do your phd, so apply there!

TakeruK Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Another way to quickly see an overview of research is to find the website for a big physics conference in the US on your topic. Usually, they will have talk titles and abstracts online. Read those! Sometimes conference abstracts are written at a more general/broad level than paper abstracts.

janadias Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I agree with the above comments that you should read papers and abstracts to find appropriate groups for. However as you research interests seem a little broad, that may take a while. One website that I found helpful when I was applying was Peterson's guide: http://www.petersons.com/graduate-schools.aspx Hopefully that may narrow down your options a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
