Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding suitable topics for a bachelor thesis in quantum physics and algebra. Participants explore various ideas and suggestions while considering the balance between complexity and interest in the subject matter.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster (OP) expresses a desire to find an interesting "paradox" in quantum physics that does not heavily rely on quantum field theory (QFT).
  • One participant suggests the Klein Paradox as a fun topic to explore.
  • Another participant proposes examining the real-life consequences of the running of parameters in the Standard Model, suggesting it could be both manageable and interesting.
  • Several participants question the relevance of the discussion, noting that it may be too late for the OP's thesis but could still be useful for others searching for similar advice.
  • There is a mention that the OP was active in the forum for some years afterward, implying they may have completed their thesis.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express mixed views on the relevance of the discussion, with some questioning its timeliness for the OP while others believe it could still benefit future readers.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes uncertainty regarding the applicability of the suggestions to the OP's situation, as well as the potential usefulness of the thread for others seeking similar guidance.

Hello Guys!
I´m currently trying to find a subject for my bachelor thesis that I´m going to write after christmas..
I have a Bachelor degree in physics which means I have a good basis in Quantum physics and have also studied abstract algebra beside.

I have bought three books which I think will help me with my interest in the future and it would be nice if i got to use some om these. :)

1) Sakurai - Modern Quantum Mechanics
2) Zee - Quantum Field Theory in a nutshell
3) Nakahara - Geometry, topology and physics

My first wish is to find some kind of "paradox" or interesting subject which doesn't need to much QFT but just a introduction to the basis.
Gah, I don't know really.. come with tips! :)

The Klein Paradox is fun
 
Explaining the real life consequences of the running of the parameters of the Standard Model in an experimental setting might be a good balance between being manageable and interesting, and would present an opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of the material.
 
I question how helpful our advice will be 12 years too late.

For the OP, not so much. For folks who find this thread via Google looking for similar advice, probably helpful. :wink:

Well, maybe. In some cases, for sure. This one, not so much - it's pretty specialized.
FWIW, the OP was active for some years afterward, so presumably he finished.
