Physics is one of the most fascinating subjects of science.
The Cologne physics department covers a spectrum of research ranging from the minuteness of the microcosm to the full expanse of the macrocosm, from the microscopic structure of matter in nuclear and molecular physics to the dynamics of galaxies. At the intermediate scales, condensed-matter physics explores novel quantum effects and their application in quantum information. Biophysical research in Cologne addresses processes in biological systems, specifically in the context of evolution. This diversity is reflected in the range of lectures courses on offer and in international and interdisciplinary research projects for students and doctoral candidates. The research strength of the physics department is regularly confirmed by high rankings in the DFG's funding atlas.
