Student theses in Eric Jeckelmann's research group

Bachelor theses

The goal of a bachelor thesis project in my group is the study and visualization of physical problems with computational tools. The proposed projects serve to illustrate basic concepts in theoretical physics or deal with a current problem in condensed matter theory.

You can begin working on a bachelor thesis project in my group anytime. The workload is three months full time. The main requirement is a practical experience in the programming language C, C++ or Python. The bachelor thesis can be written in English or in German. Literature and previous works may be in German or in English.

Master theses

Master thesis projects in my research group deal with current problems in Computational Physics, Quantum Many-Body Theory, or Condensed Matter Theory. The main requirements are a knowledge of Advanced Quantum Theory (2nd quantization) and basic Computational Physics as well as a practical experience in the programming languages C, C++ or Python. The master thesis can be written in English or in German. Literature and previous works are mostly in English.

You can begin working on a master thesis project anytime. It consists of two modules: Research Internship / Project Planning and Master Thesis. The workload is twelve months full time. Note that you must be enrolled at the Leibniz Universität Hannover and have completed one year of study in the Master programme before the start of the thesis project.

 

Topics for master thesis projects

  • Study of magnetic ladders with exact diagonalizations and the density-matrix renormalization group method (with Dr. Anas Abdelwahab)
  • Study of dynamics and chaos in semiclassical polaron models
  • Quantum dynamics of noninteracting many-electron systems with one- and two-particle gain and loss terms
  • Topological phases in solids (with Dr. Anas Abdelwahab)
