Interest in quantum entanglement would it be an appropriate subject

AI Thread Summary
Quantum entanglement is considered a suitable dissertation topic for a final year physics degree, especially for students with a strong background in quantum mechanics. The key to a successful dissertation is to focus on an original idea or experiment rather than merely reviewing existing literature. Engaging with a professor who specializes in quantum mechanics can provide valuable guidance and help refine the project proposal. Collaboration with faculty can enhance the feasibility and depth of the research, ensuring that the topic aligns with academic expectations and available resources.

... for a dissertation in the final year of a physics degree?

Over the summer we will be presented with a number of projects for our final year, we have been told that we may be allowed to choose our own if it is suitable.

I have a genuine interest in quantum entanglement and was wondering if someone could assess whether it would be a suitable subject for a dissertation, or would it be too difficult for an undergraduate?

I did very well in the quantum mechanics part of the course this year and plan to take the advanced quantum mechanics module next semester.

Thanks for any input.

What about quantum entanglement? Typically the idea is to have an original idea you want to test; it's not just another book/article research project.

I think it would be a better idea to find a professor willing to work with you and to propose this subject to him. He will give you better answers than us.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
