The International Physicists' Tournament (IPT) is a physics competition for undergraduate students, bachelors or master level (or equivalent), in which students representing their nation and institution have typically 9 months to solve a set of challenging unsolved physics problems, then present and defend them to other teams.

[1] [2] It is a subdivision of the Department of Physics as well as the College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences at the University of Maryland. [3] It houses research in theoretical elementary particle physics, gravitation, and quarks. [4]
The graduate program was ranked fifth (or sixth, depending on which method used) among physics program in the 2011 study by the National Research Council. [10] U.S. News & World Report ranked the graduate program tenth in the country across all subfields, third in Condensed Matter Physics, fifth in Quantum Physics, eighth in Elementary Particles/Field/String Theory, and ninth in Cosmology ...
The Feynman Lectures on Physics – another contemporaneously-developed and influential college-level physics series; Course of Theoretical Physics – ten-volume series of books covering advanced theoretical physics, by Lev Landau and Evgeniy Lifshitz; PSSC Physics – a contemporaneously-developed high-school-level physics textbook
In the 1940s theoretical research was focussed on calculations in quantum electrodynamics. In the 1950s, there was a shift towards high-energy physics. During this time Tsung-Dao Lee and his collaborators' work led to the discovery of parity and charge conjugation symmetries in the weak interaction. During these years, a new, more powerful ...
Each year the department admits approximately 170 undergraduates for courses in Physics, Physics and Astronomy, and Theoretical Physics. [10] Course structures are designed to offer flexibility, with both three-year BSc and four-year MPhys degrees available. [10]
The C. N. Yang Institute of Theoretical Physics (YITP) is a research center at Stony Brook University.In 1965, it was the vision of then University President J.S. Toll and Physics Department chair T.A. Pond to create an institute for theoretical physics and invite the famous physicist Chen Ning Yang from Institute for Advanced Study to serve as its director with the Albert Einstein ...
As of Fall 2023, the College of Engineering had 162 faculty members, approximately 1,823 undergraduate students, and 733 graduate students. [1] According to the Leiden Ranking , engineering and physical sciences at UCSB is ranked #1 among public universities for top 10% research citation impact. [ 2 ]
