    Admissions Chances in applying for a PhD in Physics (DFT)

    Hey marlon! Good to "see" you again! :) I haven't tried applying to IMEC yet, because some stuff have to be collected first. I have to pass the GRE general, get some references... I already have written some letters, tho. I'm just curious about my opportunities. IMEC looks fine, PhD...

    Admissions Chances in applying for a PhD in Physics (DFT)

    Thanks t!m! It's just good to hear things go different from place to place. In my country you have almost no chance to apply for a PhD without any published articles. Anyway... about what "properties" are the applicants selected then? No university can just say it would give a position for...

    Admissions Chances in applying for a PhD in Physics (DFT)

    Hi All! I was wondering what are my chances in applying for a PhD in physics... I have a master's degree, I was involved in some computational stuff in Density Functional Theory, I also graduated in this field. My problem is, that I have not been some eager-beaver guy with my studies...

    Book on Quantum Mechanics needed

    These two notes look quite good! Thanks Rach3! Anyway, I prefer the Bra-Ket notation (I learned QM using this stuff)... Does anyone know about some good lectures online which uses this?

    Book on Quantum Mechanics needed

    Hi All! Does anyone know about some books on QM over the net? I know there is Cohen Tannoudji's book, which is some kind of a bible in this topic, but for now I only want to feed my interest and to call up my knowladge in QM. I have been learning it at the university though, but that was a...

    Which is more respectable?

    Hi all! What about mixing the two fields? I don't know too much about how things go in the US, but where I am at, (Hungary,Europe) it is possible to mix these fields. For example I know a prof. In my country who is involved in some Quantum Cryptographyc researches. It means that person is...

    General Advice Needed: Physics and Music

    Hey andyintranzit! I am, myself also have focusing troubles and the only thing which can help me is music. Wherever I go, whatever I do I MUST have my mp3 player with me. All I have to do is to assemble a playlist very carefully. What kind of music I collect together is highly depends on my...

    How to continue my studies?

    Hi Again! I can't just stop worrying... Now, what I see is that if I would like to apply for a PhD, 'all' I have to do is take the GRE general exam (would be hard , but I can manage this), get at least two reference letters from my professors : that's okay. But then what? I mean I think...

    How to continue my studies?

    Thanks marlon! I'm not really glad to hear that fortran is the preferred language, becouse I have much better skills in object oriented languages. What best fits me is Java, becouse I am now develop stuff in it, but I know Java is not the best thing to use in science. Anyway, I was involved...

    Programs What options to choose for my physics degree

    I think if you like experimental physics you should choose batch1, but if you prefer theoretical physics you should choose batch2. In batch2, maybe you will have to be bit more like a mathematician, then in batch1. Your decision should depend on your interesting in physics. What topics do...

    Engineer wants to be Physicist, whats my next step?

    Hi jasc15! Although I, myself am searching for something else, becouse I have a Master's in Physics and I want to apply for a PhD, what I found can be useful for you either. Take a look at IMEC's site ([PLAIN]www.imec.be)[/URL]. There are lots of Master and PhD positions for scientists and...

    How to continue my studies?

    Yet another question : For computations do you use some special tools? I mean some programming languages developped specially for DFT or other types of computational methods... Or do you use some hardcore (maybe OO) programming languages, like C++ or Java? The reason why i am asking this...

    How to continue my studies?

    Hey marlon! I would like to ask you about the salary which comes (if so) with a phd position at IMEC. Could you please tell me something about this? Thanks! Gergely (a.k.a. QuantumPlan :smile: )
