Undergraduate level research topic in physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a final-year BSc Physics student in India seeking undergraduate-level research project topics in theoretical physics. The student has completed a reading project in Quantum Mechanics and is currently studying Complex Analysis. Key areas of interest include Quantum Mechanics (specifically Matrix Mechanics and Hamiltonian) and Mathematical Physics (covering Matrix Theory and Harmonic Analysis). The student aims to propose a project to professors before starting a postgraduate course.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics, particularly Matrix Mechanics and Hamiltonian concepts.
  • Knowledge of Mathematical Physics, including Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra.
  • Familiarity with Harmonic Analysis, specifically Fourier Transforms and Fourier Series.
  • Basic proficiency in Complex Analysis.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research potential undergraduate projects in Quantum Mechanics focusing on Matrix Mechanics.
  • Explore Mathematical Physics topics related to Matrix Theory and its applications.
  • Investigate research methodologies for theoretical physics projects.
  • Learn about current trends in Quantum Mechanics and Mathematical Physics through academic journals.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for undergraduate physics students, aspiring researchers in theoretical physics, and anyone interested in developing a foundational project in Quantum Mechanics and Mathematical Physics.

I am a Final year (3rd year) student studying BSc Physics in India. My undergraduate course is getting completed in one month. As I want to pursue my career in field of physics, I like to do a project especially a theoretical project (kind of writing a junior level thesis) before joining Postgraduate course. I will be having atleast two month free time. I am planning to approach professors in universities on my location, for that i have to be sure what i am proposed to do (project i am willing to do). Honestly to say I have no idea what to do. But I already done a reading project in Quantum mechanics for a month and presently i am learning Complex analysis(mathematical physics).
I have interest in these topics (1) Quantum mechanics (Matrix mechanics, Hamiltonian)
(2) Mathematical physics (Matrix theory (upto eigenvalues, eigenvectors, some linear algebra), harmonic analysis (upto Fourier transforms, Fourier series, etc)
Please Suggest me some Undergraduate level Research project topics that I can do and I acquired some knowledge through my undergraduate course on these topics i mentioned above.
Thank you in Advance​

I am only in year 1 of my undergraduate degree, but as long as you know some maths you can contribute to really any project by doing the grunt work.
