Condensed Matter Physics and Photonics
This curriculum s characterized by courses that stimulate both cultural enrichment and interdisciplinarity, in a branch of physics that stands out for its extreme vitality, great economic and social impact. They range from Condensed Matter Physics to Key Enable Technologies (such as photonics and microelectronics), from Quantum Optical Technologies to Optoelectronic Devices.
Most of the courses are in the fields of nanotechnologies, artificial quantum structures of materials with functions ad-hoc designed for applications, state-of-the-art spectroscopic and sensor techniques.
Students will benefit from multiple contaminations with other science fields, such as engineering, biology, chemistry, medicine, environmental sciences and related industrial applications.
