Applied Physics (Doctoral)
The Department of Physics at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) has evolved from its origins as a teaching and research section into a comprehensive entity integrating teaching, scientific research, and development. It comprises the Department of Physics, the Institute of Applied Physics, and the Modern Physics Research Center. The department boasts a high-caliber faculty, including an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, professors, associate professors, and doctoral supervisors, with a significant portion of the staff holding doctoral degrees. The department offers undergraduate programs in Applied Physics and graduate programs in Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Theoretical Physics, and Physical Electronics. Students are currently enrolled at all levels, from undergraduate to doctoral. Research at the department is robust, with faculty actively engaged in national and provincial projects, including the prestigious 973 and 863 programs, and the National Natural Science Foundation. Significant research funding has been secured, contributing to a substantial number of publications in SCI journals. The Physics Laboratory is recognized as a national base for engineering physics course teaching and an experimental teaching demonstration center. The department is responsible for teaching physics and experimental physics to students across various disciplines at USTB, including engineering, science, management, literature, classics, and law, in addition to cultivating physics undergraduates and graduate students.
Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics
The Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics at Shandong University focuses on research in atomic and molecular physics and related interdisciplinary fields. It contributes to the development of quantum physics theory, quantum open system dynamics, and the design of materials at the atomic and molecular level. The institute also investigates atomic and molecular processes on solids and surfaces, high-resolution spectroscopy, and quantum dynamics of molecules, including research related to Terahertz technology and the development of advanced spectrometers. Its work plays a significant supporting role in advancing the broader physics discipline at Shandong University.
