Regarding topics for thesis in Quantum Mechanics(for MS phy)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on selecting a thesis topic in Quantum Mechanics for a Master's in Physics. Participants emphasize the importance of narrowing down the focus rather than attempting to solve multiple new problems. They advise that the primary goal of a Master's thesis is to deeply investigate a specific topic, rather than merely solving problems. Engaging with an academic advisor for guidance is strongly recommended to refine the thesis direction.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with academic research methodologies
  • Experience in formulating research questions
  • Knowledge of thesis writing standards in Physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific areas within Quantum Mechanics, such as Quantum Entanglement
  • Explore recent advancements in Quantum Computing
  • Investigate the implications of Quantum Mechanics in modern physics
  • Consult academic advisors for topic refinement and guidance
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students in Physics, particularly those preparing for a Master's thesis in Quantum Mechanics, and academic advisors guiding students in their research focus.

I have my thesis for Masters in Physics next academic year. I was thinking that for my thesis maybe i could solve a bunch of some new problems in quantum mechanics. I would be highly grateful if you people could suggest some problems to me.

Thanks

1) Quantum mechanics is a very broad field. I'm afraid you need to be more specific

2) This is really not something you should ask an internet forum. Rather you should be discussing this with an advisor.

3) Unless my experience is completely nonrepresentative (which is certainly possible!), then solving a bunch of new problems is not really the point of a masters thesis. The point is to choose a narrow topic and to investigate it quite deeply. If you happen to solve some problem during this, then good. But the goal of a masters thesis is not to solve problems, rather than to get acquainted with a new topic.
