专业描述

Caltech Applied Physics was founded by faculty who could foresee research subjects not represented in traditional engineering and physics programs. Originally encompassing semiconductor devices and lasers, today, it also includes subjects spanning quantum engineering to physical biology, and reflects new and varied intersections within science and technology. Academics are rooted in fundamental physics: quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics/thermodynamics, mechanics, and mathematical physics. The intensive curriculum combined with broad research opportunities give the Applied Physics student technical depth and the capacity to impact a wide range of fields.
