• The aim of physics is to grasp quantitative relationships of nature, to understand their elementary laws, and to make the resulting phenomena usable. Few basic principles such as Newton's equations of motion, the Schrödinger equation, the principle of maximum entropy and the principle of relativity determine the world and ultimately make it possible to provide a variety of mechanisms for novel applications (semiconductor physics, laser physics, communication technology, nanomaterials).
  • In addition to the classic focus in solid state physics, optics, surface physics, computational physics and theoretical physics, the neighboring disciplines of biophysics, physical chemistry and nanostructured matter are included in an interdisciplinary manner.
