KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I was just wondering, what is a good college to get a PHD in Quantum Physics? I wantto know what school to apply for, and what kinds of schollerships I need to get to get in for free. Plus I would like to know where it is. Thanx for all your help.
Sayonara Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 One with standards, I'd imagine. They probably have like... an entrance exam 'n' stuff.
KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 I can pass any exam given to me. I just dont know where any of the good schools are. Thats where I need help. All else is only problems for the mind, where my mind is the key.
Sayonara Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Apparently Cambridge are quite good at physics. Although as a foreign student you can expect to pay more... for some reason.
KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 I don't care about the pay, where is Cambridge?

KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Thank you Sayonara³, I am grateful for your posts here. I will check the school out a bit more on my own. I will consider it a possibility for the future.
Tom Mattson Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 KH, You might want to do a little more looking into this. One does not get a degree in "quantum physics". Every physicist is an expert in quantum physics. The fields of concentration are typically broken down as follows: 1. String Theory 2. Quantum Cosmology (Loop Quantum Gravity) 2. Subatomic Physics 3. Nuclear Physics 4. Atomic Physics 5. Condensed Matter Physics/Optics 6. Astronomy/Astrophysics Of course there will be variances, but that's basically it. To get a PhD in physics, one typically has to take a full year of nonrelativistic QM, a semester of relativistic QM, and a semester or two of QFT.

KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Ok then, but do you have any productive comments to post here MrL?

KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Maybe so, but the only exams I would not pass would be ones in which I know not a thig about the subject.But why would someone give me an exam unless to see what know about the subject? And why would they want to see what I'd know about thhe subject, unless it was for a class I was going into, in which I would know of the ubject, so I would pass the exam. See a paradox circuling around?
Sayonara Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Originally posted by fafalone Wow you're more arrogant than I am. I promise there are exams you cannot pass. Sotto voce... Like the Cambridge entrance exams, which are specially designed to keep people like him out.
Sayonara Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Originally posted by KHinfcube22 See a paradox circuling around? Paradoxes don't fall apart and spontaneously resolve themselves before you even look at them, so 'no'.
KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Originally posted by Sayonara³ Sotto voce... Like the Cambridge entrance exams, which are specially designed to keep people like him out. What subjets are the cambridge entrance exams based off of? I bet you I could pass one with ease.

Direct all queries RE: Cambridge entrance exams to MrL_JaKiri. He's done them. Presumably he also passed them all. Hey MrL, did they ask you any of these infamous "curve ball" questions in your interviews?
JaKiri Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Mathematics. ps. No they didn't, me talking about superconductors for 10 minutes must have done it for me.
KHinfcube22 Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Mathematics? Wich kind: Algebra, Geometry, Algebra2, Calculas? Any type of math above those? Than that exam would be easy as (input your own word)! Math is my best subject.
