Doctor of Philosophy in Physics - Quantum Optics

The Department of Physics offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The department carries out research in experimental and theoretical physics in the following fields: atmospheric physics, geophysics, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, subatomic physics and astrophysics, and biophysics. The department has close ties with the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA). This association enables students to work and consult with leading theorists who are appointed to, or who are visiting, CITA. Students are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. The department provides financial support for one year of the MSc and four years of the PhD program (five years for direct-entry PhD).
The Quantum Optics cluster includes researchers working in the fields of AMO (atomic, molecular, and optical) physics, Quantum Information, Laser Science, Plasma Physics, and some parts of Condensed Matter Physics. Topics of study include: the properties of light, fundamentals of quantum mechanics, the interaction of light with photonic crystals, semiconductors, quantum wells and superlattices, ultrafast and nonlinear optical phenomena in condensed matter systems, Bose-Einstein condensation and neutral Fermi gases, trapped ions, plasma physics, and studies of biological systems using optical probes. Such a wide variety of interests are drawn together by a common focus on lasers as primary experimental tools, and on quantum mechanics as the primary theoretical paradigm.

MSc degree in Physics or closely related field with first class standing
Exceptional students with a BSc degree may be admitted to the direct-entry PhD program. Such students must have an academic average of A or higher in an honours Physics program or a program of comparable rigour in a closely related field. All applicants to the MSc program will automatically be considered for admission to the direct-entry PhD program. MSc. applicants interested in direct-entry PhD are not required to submit a separate application for PhD.
Upload transcripts in .pdf format from each post-secondary institution attended. Transcripts should not be password protected. Only those applicants offered admission to the program will be required to provide official transcripts issued directly from their institution(s).
